What to Order
Matcha Latte
A popular green tea latte, often praised for its authentic taste and quality, available in various flavors.
"I’m really disappointed with my experience at White Heron Café. When I walked in, there were only two customers total (including me). I placed my things on a large table, and another girl was already seated at the other large table. As soon as I went to order, I was immediately asked to move from my table. It made me feel very uncomfortable, especially since the other customer was not asked to move and remained seated. I didn’t say anything at the time because I get anxious in situations like that, but it didn’t sit right with me. I would have completely understood if a large group had come in and needed the table, but that wasn’t the case. The matcha was good, but I paid around $7–8 for a very small cup, which felt overpriced. Overall, the experience left me feeling disrespected and disappointed. Unfortunately, I won’t be returning."

Strawberry Shortcake
A light, airy, and not-too-sweet cake featuring fresh strawberries and a moist texture.
"Ordered the Strawberry Shortcake online - BIG fan of this cake. It's so delicious, so airy, so light. It's not too sweet, which I love. The cake is so moist and has a delicious flavour. The strawberries are SO fresh tasting."

Cakes
A variety of beautifully presented, delicate, and not-overly-sweet cakes, often with unique flavor combinations.
"The cakes are beautiful and delicious. Every nice place that is quiet during the week. Very nice staff too."

Matcha Sakura Latte
A unique matcha latte infused with sakura (cherry blossom) flavor, noted for its distinct taste.
"The matcha sakura latte was so good :)"
Michele Escano
Matcha Yuzu
A refreshing matcha drink with a bright, citrusy yuzu flavor, offering a unique and enjoyable taste.
"J’ai opté pour une madeleine, un beignet et un iced matcha yuzu, et c’est simple : j’ai tout adoré ! La texture de la madeleine, si moelleuse, la gourmandise du beignet au sésame noir, et la fraîcheur du matcha yuzu m’ont fait passer un superbe moment culinaire."
