Was so excited when I found out that this cute cafe was coming out in Hillcrest. I had a friend who I would walk in the mornings with around the area and we would crave for some Thai tea. Not many places offered it and if they did, the restaurant doesn't open til lunch. So I'm happy to see this place is open early enough (8am to be exacfto satisfy this mama and I don't need to drive all the way to the convoy district for my favorite boba cravings... lol I have tried their Avo-Tomato Sandwich, Smoke Salmon Sandwich added hard boiled eggs, Kakuni Buns (baos), Thai Tea w/boba, Vietnamese coffee, The OG Milk Tea, Matcha latte, Avocado smoothie, Taro smoothie w/boba and Peach Mango Smoothie Bowl w/ Boba. Since the first day, I find myself going back to this cute cafe to try something new on the menu or order my favorite drink or sandwich. All of which, I find is absolutely delicious. The owner and staff are happy to greet you when you walk in. They provide excellent friendly customer service every time with a smile on their face. Makes you want to smile right back! I will definitely come back and try something new or what I have already tried!!!!

The boba is amazing, as well as the pork belly sandwich (which I HIGHLY recommend). The service and ambiance also make you feel very welcome, the bathroom is also pretty clean. 8/10 WILL come again.

Great food and drinks, nice atmosphere. The Mexican Oreo frappe was a nice summer treat and the baos are stuffed to the brim and delicious.

Located in Hillcrest. It's super small and lovely with absolutely no parking available. You get 15 people in here and it'll be full. I think on beautiful days like the day I came here, it's nice to just grab it and go. When we came we were the only ones here. It was our first time so we took our time trying to figure out what we wanted. The barista was super patient and tried to help us figure out what we wanted. She even said she was bored and would mix flavors that typically she's not allowed to do. That was super cool of her. There's a good vast selection of items to consider. There are coffees, teas, milkshakes and ice cream but that day they couldn't make any drinks with the ice cream which was unfortunate. And of course there is boba! I went with the purple tea which was exquisite. And an Ube tea which was mixed with Jasmine tea which wasn't as good as the purple tea. The entire experience was only 15 minutes (mostly because I had trouble picking one) but it set the tone for the day and it was a lovely time there. 4 stars for the drink. 5 stars to the barista.

First time here, we needed to kill some time. Small little Cafe with lovely air conditioning. They offer a wide variety of drinks, including coffees, teas, Boba, and smoothies. They also have hokkaido soft serve ice cream. We had an iced vanilla latte and chai latte with oat milk. Both were delicious. Staff is friendly. Street parking only.
