Went in today for a matcha, it was very busy but the staff were so nice and very respectful. They got my drink out very quick even while being busy. Best matcha Ive had in a while. Will be visiting again soon!!

The place has a very inviting atmosphere. Lots of yummy stuff to choose from. They have baked goods but you can also get breakfast sandwiches (I went in the morning, they may have lunch as well). The coffee was good and they had several choices. Would highly recommend.
