The matcha latte is the most recommended. The sweet, creamy, and bitter are balance. I also tried the avocado rice with egg. The taste is so good and enough to make you full. However, there is no english menu, so it's a bit confusing for foreigner. Later, I want to try its coffee.

The Japanese Starbucks ! Great design and atmosphere, high quality burgers and drinks as expected from the former NON cafe. If you're looking for Japanese tea products, this is the place to go!
