    Came for a green mango tea on a Fri afternoon. Good ambiance and vibes, very active in terms of customers coming through. Great customer service. Mango tea was very strong per green tea (25% sweetness) and little mango flavor. Bathrooms available. Paid street parking.

    I was a little nervous at first because I am not very open when it comes to my diet. Let me tell you, I was extremely happy. We had a party of six with two separate orders, I had ordered. The Pork Belly sandwich with the Furi-Furi Sprouts. My husband had the Thai Chicken over rice. The dishes were amazing!! I am craving the sandwich now. The Thai Milk Tea was spot on and the Honeydew Tea was like they blended the melon and stuck a straw in it, it was that good. The waffle fries were on point, the popcorn chicken was okay, The burgers were good, but the jalapenos were not spicy (according to my friend). As we walked out, we discovered that you could actually check out a board game and play a game in the cafe while enjoying your meal. Might keep the kids off their phones.

    Happy to have found a place close to the airport to have lunch with a friend while waiting out a layover. We ordered the lemongrass crispy tofu sandwich and I had a matcha brown sugar bubble tea. Both were great and we played some board games to pass the time. There is a large seating area in the back for group gatherings.
