Certain individuals leaving reviews- have clearly never worked in the service industry and recently opened business at that. I certainly have and know when a review is supposed to be left. This is clearly a specialty coffee shop that prepares matcha the CORRECT way and also recently opened business that is working out a few things(new staff, learning to make workflow better, etc.) You have to be prepared to wait whether you order pick up or in store.

Their in depth descriptions of each matcha type, along with their genuine respect and craftsmanship toward the ingredient, are truly impressive. The atmosphere, music, and flavors are all exceptional. I plan to try a different beverage and ice cream each time I visit. The experience was so outstanding that no amount of advertising or word of-mouth could add...
