This space went from an awesome Equal Exchange coffee shop to an unrefined counter-food place. It takes a lot for me to write a negative review for a business, especially a small business, but I felt inclined to share my perspective after today.
They are using the same exact espresso machine and coffee as before but somehow cannot make a good drink. Today was my third time coming here since the business switched ownership—it’s the closest “coffee shop” to my place of work. The milk was way over steamed, making it taste burnt and not drinkable. The service was also terrible, the lady working didn’t even look up at me from her phone until I said hello and was not friendly at all.
This place is not a good coffee shop, I won’t be returning again. I’ve tried the sushi once and was also not impressed at all. It’s cheap so I’m sure that appeals to some, but I question their method of not having a sushi case and simply putting their ingredients on ice on the...
Read moreMay have some connection to Musashis with chirashi bowls, but not sure. That being said, I wish this place offered chirashi bowls because those are amazing. It's a place for rolls and drinks. Yohan gave great recommendations to us, shout-out to him!

Read moreThis review is for the sushi - I ordered the inside out roll (which was supposed to be spicy tuna and spicy Mayo) and the spicy salmon roll, and nothing was even a tiny bit spicy or flavorful. What even more strange is that it didn’t have any taste. It didn’t taste bad, but it tasted like nothing. You can’t taste any salt or vinegar in the rice, the raw fish didn’t even have a taste. I mixed the entire serving size of wasabi with one small soy sauce packed and even the wasabi mixture wasn’t spicy. Its weird. The place is clean and modern, and the people are nice, but I’m so shocked how bland it was. The only thing that had flavor was the...
