they do a good matcha here, smooth and on the sweeter side, customer service is lukewarm and not fantastic, food and drink is on the pricier side, but pretty alright overall

I’m a student here and I have to leave a shining review for staff member Kaytee. Whenever she is there, you can guarantee an excellent matcha latte and warm, friendly service. Been coming here for the past 2 years and will continue to do so. Thanks again!

We run Shut Up and Write sessions here every Wednesday morning from 9 am. We like it. The coffee is good, the wifi is fast and it isn't too crowded or noisy. Thanks, Vine, for hosting us.
