APM is located on the ground level of a residential building on the outskirts of Chinatown. The small coffee shop is run by a lovely couple who will not hesitate to explain their menu and provide excellent customer service.
As much as I wanted to love this place, I don't think this is a place I'd be frequenting often. I've tried the Matcha Pancakes, Matcha Latte, and Matcha Boom - all of which were a 'miss' for me. I get really excited whenever a cafe offers anything Matcha...unfortunately, I didn't think the taste of the matcha beverages here justify the price.
I must also provide a disclaimer that the pancakes here (in all flavors) are different from the usual American pancakes you're used to; it's not the thick, fluffy buttermilk recipe or anything similar. They're slightly smaller than the size of your palm, and have a thin, chewy texture that might resemble an Asian mochi or sticky rice pastry. For the small portion relative to the price, and the unexpected texture, the pancakes were an unfortunate disappointment for me.
Overall, I'd think this would be an OK spot if you're getting something 'safe' like a cup of coffee or a simple sandwich.
