Inside Scoop
- The cafe is located in the PATH, which can make it a bit tricky to find.
- Seating is limited, especially during busy times, so it's not ideal for long study or work sessions.
- Their seasonal menus are highly recommended for unique and creative drink options.
- Be aware that drinks often come with a lot of ice, which can dilute the flavor quickly.
- If you prefer your matcha unsweetened, you need to specifically request it.
