The matcha here is very good! We had the iced matcha latte with red bean paste and cream, so refreshing! We tried a matcha biscuit/cookie, it’s soft and flavorful. There is plenty of seating inside, and access to some very nice restrooms as part of the stationary/book store it is connected to.

My partner and I absolutely loved it here! We ordered the eel bowl and chestnut parfait. The prices are very reasonable and the atmosphere was very calm and quiet, and we appreciated the small nature items around us. Will definitely come back here the next time we’re back in Kyoto!

Always love their matcha parfait in Singapore! So glad that the matcha parfait here tasted equally good as those we first tried. Rich green tea dessert, absolutely excellent! A great place to read your book, relax and chill! :) if you re taking the windows seat, you can still people watch!

Back Again...Chocolate Match Iced Latte is ‼Refreshing iced green tea and delicious apple juice. Nice staff. Great place to relax after walking all over the mall. Unfortunately, no charging stations. More relaxed vibe than ⭐Bucks. Not too crowded, line (Que) moves quickly and we easily found a booth.

Absolute gem of a place, so relaxing, so peaceful, very classy and upscale feeling with the live plants, wooden furniture, tatami tabletop, and classical music. Thank you for English menu, very grateful The selection of this cafe is impressive. Most matcha parfait places just have one page of options, but this place had drinks, bowls, parfaits, and savory meals. Black sesame parfait was perfection. Delicious ice cream, red bean, mochi, frosted cereal flakes, brown sugar syrup, shaved milk ice, and jelly. Loved all the flavors and textures, worked so well with each other. Matcha cheesecake was dense, rich, and flavorful with fun whole red beans at the bottom. Highly recommend for anyone looking for delicious desserts.
