Most Popular Items

Hojicha with sea cream
"My friend got the iced matcha latte and I asked the cashier what their most popular drink was, which is the Hojicha sea cream. The sea cream was described to be like a cheese or salted foam on top. I decided to give it a try at 50% sugar with the boba pearls and wow, I was just blown away."
Black sesame sea cream drink
"I got the black sesame drink and it was yummmy!! I usually have to adjust the sugar levels of my drinks, but even at 100% it was NOT overly sweet. It was flavorful, and they added sea cream/cheese foam to mine. The boba was perfect-- soft and chewy but still had some form."
Matcha (including strawberry matcha)
"My go-to spot in the area for matcha and hojicha. I make my own matcha at home, and I know this place has good matcha (not grassy!). These guys are great at their craft! Right now they have strawberry milk and strawberry matcha and they taste great."
