“Wow yes so glad I decided to try this spot today and escape the crowds of the city this weekend. Such friendly beautiful welcoming staff. Had a delicious hot soy matcha, made with pure matcha powder and was given the honey to add as much as I liked. Was one of the most satisfying and comforting matchas I’ve had from a cafe lately. Thank you, yes recommend”
