Chicken Pesto Panini was ok. I think it could use more pesto because you could not really taste the pesto. The chicken was tender and moist. The salad that came w/ it was also good too. The dressing had a nice tangy taste.
There were plenty of parking lots nearby, or you could park on the street like I did. I only paid 75¢ for an hour. I came on a Monday morning and it was pretty busy. But I was lucky to grab a spot in this cozy corner and had a great time reading my book.
The strawberry matcha cloud was delicious! I definitely want to come again to try their specialty coffee and croffles
Update: Visited again to try their croffles and fall themed drinks. I got the strawberry croffles and pumpkin spice latte. They were okay.
Whether its to visit with friends, get some work done, curl up and read a book, or just swing in for a quick coffee, I highly recommend trying it out sometime!
Drink order: 3 strawberry matchas, 1 regular matcha and 1 Pandanmoniun
The only drink that was finished was the Pandanmoniun, and the comment made was that the espresso was really strong.
All the rest were pretty much tossed out after each person drank 1/4-1/3 of it which is bad for an $8 drink. The strawberry matcha is just a mess. You have a 1/3 of strawberry puree which is grainy (sugar probably wasn’t dissolved all the way) and fizzy (my theory is that it’s either going bad or fermenting because the drink doesn’t state that there is seltzer in it). Then you have about 1/4 of matcha, followed by a 1/3 of cloud foam (sweet cream/cheese foam at bubble tea shops) and the remaining space is just one tile of ice (not ice cubes, literally a tile). Presentation is nice.
However, when you try to mix the strawberry and the matcha, it splits, looks grainy and doesn’t stay blended. You need a straw to get to the drink because the cloud foam is so thick and doesn’t let the drink permeate when drinking from the top. The taste and texture are unfortunately bad, it’s clumpy and watery. The strawberries taste like they’re close to expiring and overly sweet by the grainy sugar (can’t adjust the amount of sweetness).
Personally, the strawberry matcha gave me the impression that it was trying to be a bubble tea with how much was going on but without the balanced ratio. I’ve had the Taro Bubble Tea Latte from MuMu (the one with the thick taro paste) and have never had an issue with it not mixing or splitting. I’ve had sweet cream in other teas and have never had an issue actually drinking the tea with the foam on top (not blended into the drink).
I did confirm that they use ceremonial grade matcha so that’s good. I didn’t get the hibiscus refresher drink but they did confirm it’s made in house (maybe I should have gotten this) unfortunately I probably won’t go back for any other drink.
