My friend and I stumbled upon on gem and absolutely loved everything. I told the barista to restore my faith in coffee and he delivered. Love from Cape Town
Good for the vibes, but pretty mediocre taste-wise.
Ordered the black sesame latte - it looked lovely and had a cozy flavor, but arrived sadly lukewarm. The Lindt hot chocolate was just warm milk with two Lindt balls dropped in – not nearly chocolatey or indulgent enough, especially for the price. Burnt basque cheesecake was okay but not memorable, and I wouldn't get it again. The matcha cookie was honestly terrible– super hard and way too sweet.
The only Japanese things here are the name, the matcha on the menu, and maybe the wooden interior. Otherwise, it's just another overpriced 'aesthetic' cafe. Great if you're looking for an Instagram moment– but if you're in it for a good coffee and dessert, try one of their neighbours instead.
