“ My favorite matcha and lunch spot in the Upper West Side! The tortilla egg wrap and salmon kyoto bowl are 10/10. Just recently tried the matcha yuzu and it was the perfect refreshing pick me up. ”

“ I went here for breakfast early in the morning with a friend. We were so tired that we just walked over with a coat over our pajamas. I had the unmade oats with strawberry and berries garnished with slivers of toasted coconut, so good that we both got another. the matcha bread had a firm consistency tasted semi sweet and also was delicious. we chose a hot matcha beverage off the menu and added a shot of espresso. we made the mistake of trying to make our own menu with that drink so then I went with a classic almond milk latte and it was delicious. The barista is really talented. The space is beautiful the vibe chill and the look of the restaurant is modern and comfy. ”
