Food and Drinks

Pros:

Cons:

  • "The ice vanilla latte - the espresso beans were great but the price was steep costing a little over $7 for a large."
  • "The matcha latte was surprisingly too sweet for my taste."
  • "The green tea shaved ice was ok - very sweet and didn't taste like green tea; more like vanilla."
  • "We had chocolate lava cake. It was good but there was really no lava melting chocolate in it. It was more like a brownie with ice cream."
  • "All drinks are expensive...nothing amazing ...just paying for packaging."
  • "First of all, they charge an unreasonable amount of money for their coffee like my large iced vanilla latte was $7.50 and there was nothing special about it."

  • "Please note though, they no longer have wifi for their customers, so it’s not the best place if you plan to study there."
  • "If you’re looking to spend some time working or studying. Don’t bother. The wifi is absolutely trash with max speeds of 3Mbps."
