Too crowded and loud to really sit and enjoy, but the strawberry matcha was phenomenal. I’d come back to RI just to try the other drinks- the menu is pretty extensive with really interesting combos like lavender hojicha, would recommend taking a look at the online menu!

a little bustling if you have social anxiety like me BUT the menu, flavors, even the shelf/refrigerated goods make it all so worth it. I had a caramel pear matcha latte that was as delicious as it is beautiful. The flavors they have available you will find nowhere else. I’m so happy this place exists. I truly look forward to testing out the rest of their menu. I went about five pm on a Thursday and didn’t have a problem parking. Had to walk not even two minutes I’d say.

Japanese cafe with amazing drinks and unique treats. A friend from Brown told me this was the best café in Providence, so my friend and I had to check it out. We stopped by for some light desserts and drinks and went with the strawberry matcha and black sesame latte, and both were fantastic. One of the coolest things? They hand-grind every matcha order in a stone bowl, which makes it taste smoother and more aromatic. The strawberry matcha was perfectly balanced—not overloaded with syrup, just a light glaze in the bottom half of the cup, giving it the perfect sweetness (just like in Japan). The black sesame latte was also amazing. Most places in the U.S. make them sweet, but this one had almost zero sugar, which highlighted the pure nuttiness and roasted depth of the black sesame. As for the sweets, we went with the taro pastry and the sweet soy dango. While they might not be as indulgent as the roll cakes or babka, they were perfect little bites. I especially loved the dango. When paired with the strawberry matcha, the chewy, bouncy texture made it feel like I was sipping on a matcha bubble tea. Such a fun combo. Highly recommend giving them a try if you’re in Providence. Just a heads-up—on weekends, students start lining up around opening to snag a table, so finding a spot to sit and relax might be tricky.
