What to Order
Pour-over Coffee

"A great variety of options for pour over coffee. Price is great for their high quality aromatic coffee. I’ve been here twice and I think they have the best coffee in town."

Tonka Bean Latte
A unique and delectable latte featuring freshly shaved tonka bean, offering a spiced, vanilla-adjacent flavor profile.
"I tried their tonka bean latte with freshly shaved tonka bean on top - delectable. Must try! As the barista had described - very vanilla bean adjacent with a more spiced note."
Amberly Chung
Flat White
A solid and refined espresso-based drink, praised for its quality and smooth taste.
"I really enjoyed the flat white of the darkest espresso the barista recommended."
Donghwan Lee
Hot Chocolate
A delicious and comforting option for non-coffee drinkers, available in unique flavors like ginger cardamom.
