Best green tea with lychee I have ever had. Perfect balance of tea and fruit...not sweet but fruit flavor notes.

U have to try this place. Me and my daughter went a few days ago and loved it. I had a bagel with egg and Bacon and a cinnamon coffee. I'm picky about coffee and I loved it. And the guy was very nice and good conversations regarding his plants.

Monday Mornings. Time to finish of what we didn’t and/or start a new goal. Let’s do it!

Happy Labor Day! We close 3PM Sunday and Monday so we can enjoy the holiday with friends and family as well. 🙂

Sadly our summer after hours have ended. We’re going back to 6PM closing time. It was fun while it lasted. We hope to have those late hours come back once again when things are a little more predictable. Thank you so much for everyone who supported us after sunset!

Save the environment. Save some money. Bring your own mug 10% off!

Hi everyone. Just a friendly reminder that the city requires masks to be worn indoors. You can take it off drinking and eating. Thank you for being in this all together!

New UBE batch freshly baked just arrived!! 😜 Classic and Cream Cheese flavors!! ❤️
