“ I loved everything about this cute cafe. I was able to get some work done while I had my omurice and taro latte. The omurice is perfectly cooked with the egg still a little runny on the inside. The rice was good as well. ”
“ I chatted with the barista here for a few minutes, their coffee was phenomenal. Had a flat white that had really good flavor and was nice and creamy. The ambience of the cafe is perfect for a chill hangout with one or two friends, not much space for more. They also serve small bites - we saw some really tasty looking waffles being served to the people next to us. ”
“ Okay, I am so impressed with coffee and sandos that I now want to try every single item on their menu. The flat white was so delicious—perfectly made and the beans are very good quality. The grilled cheese sandwich was absolutely out of this world!!! The fluffy milk bread, melty cheese combined perfectly with goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes are marinated in yummy herbs. I just want to have this sando every day for the rest of my life. The Greek yogurt sando was super good too—not overly sweet, ripe, sweet berries, and again, delicious milk bread with a nice little char on it. Other pastries were coming out as they are being made, made freshly in house. I love this place and I want to take it home with me ”
“ Wonderful Japanese coffee shop. Cortado was excellent - lighter roast with fruity notes. Wonderful French toast. Would definitely come back ”
“ I think this is one of the best coffee places in the neighborhood. In our 6 day stay in CDMX, we went back multiple times for their coffee. Their baked goods are very good: hojicha bread was soft and moist inside and outer layer was not too sweet. We tried their food menu. Oyakodon was on point: the temperature was right, the consistency of the rice with runny egg was amazing. The owner worked as a chef in Tokyo for many years so the food and his attention to detail for his coffee were exceptional. ”
