Coming here was one of the worst decisions of my life. We ordered a matcha frappe and lemonade, which was garbage, diluted, and riddled with artificial sweeteners. The price was also unjustified. Avoid this tourist trap.

Do not ask for a tip if your service is gonna be this awful. Horrible attitude and watery bland matcha eugh

Cool looking cafe in an old industrial building. We got the Canadian maple syrup iced latte and pistachio banana iced mocha. In all honesty, they didn't taste that special compared to standard drinks. The staff were friendly and there was upstairs seating.

Just grabbed a drink from their outdoor stand and it was perfect for a hot summer day. They had a nice selection of fruit-flavoured sparkling drinks to choose from. The woman serving us was friendly and efficient. Would definitely recommend!
