Delicious! Lovely staff, the food was unique and extremely filling and tasty. Great drink and desert options. Wish y'all were in Georgia! Will definitely come by again next time we are in Pasadena. :)

The matcha raspberry cake is GORGEOUS, I think it’s actually one of the best cakes I’ve ever eaten. The matcha yuzu is also incredible, and the black sesame was absolutely heavenly.
