Little Saigon Creative

Nice co-location of a community-based organization and a community small business. I love that the timeline of Little Saigon includes acknowledgement of the history of communities that were there before the arrival of the Vietnamese American community.

Went here before we went to volunteer park . I liked the biodegradable straws that were made out of rice or actually a noodles can also be eaten if your that hungry.

Their torched egg drinks were to die for, and they have a great atmosphere with local artist's work on the wall and fun merchandise you can buy.

Beverigs are so good and interior is unique. Rice straws are so much impress various color, eco friendly.

Hate to share this place, but like to see them do well. Unique coffee and breakfast. Very well prepared. Comfortable and laid back.

Coffee was so good.

Great space to drink some of the best coffee in Seattle while looking at local artists and creatives in the community. Love this space and concept to support the locals here. Thank you!

Friendly service and good coffee

Hello Em Vietnamese Coffee is one of the few Vietnamese coffee shops we know of in the Greater Seattle area. Conveniently located in Seattle's downtown area near many other Vietnamese establishments, it's a great spot to grab an authentic Vietnamese coffee. Parking can be a challenge as it's mostly street parking, but we sometimes park in the Lam's Seafood Market lot and walk over for a grab-and-go. We usually visit on weekends, and the place is always crowded. The shop is small, so finding a seat inside is rare, and there's often a bit of a line. Their menu offers both drinks and food, featuring items typical of a Vietnamese breakfast. The drink menu is extensive, especially with various types of Vietnamese coffee. Some of the options are uncommon even in Vietnam but are worth trying. I recommend the Maggi coffee and egg coffee for those who enjoy a stronger coffee flavor. If you prefer something with milk, the Viet latte (bac xiu) is a great choice. For breakfast, the breakfast sandwich is a simple and typical option that pairs well with their coffee. Both the drinks and the sandwich are delicious and authentically Vietnamese. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by Hello Em for a simple and delicious breakfast or brunch with a cup of flavorful Vietnamese coffee to start your day.

The best Vietnamese egg coffee I've ever had! I was recommended this place by a friend who lives in Seattle. I'm so glad I stopped by before heading to Vancouver. Their Banh Mi sandwich was also delicious. I've never seen any place press the baguette like they do, and it went really well with the meat and veggies inside. I love the vibe inside--everything from the decor to the drinks and sandwiches. The staff are very friendly and our orders were done really fast. I highly recommend this place if you're in Seattle! I will definitely return if I'm back in the state.

One of the BEST tofu banh mi I've had - the bread was perfectly toasted the tofu was soft but not too mushy, not over flowing with veggies - just the perfect sandwich for a quick afternoon bite solid 10/10 for me. The coffee is also very strong but tasty. The egg cream coffee was a solid 9/10. Service was great the lady behind the counter was very patient with me as I figured out what I wanted to order. My one and only downside is the seating arrangement. The chairs are a high for the small tables so it a bit hard to sit and enjoy the coffee and/or foo having to reach for it when setting it down. Not ideal for a spot to work or study at unless you rent out the table in the back. However good place to catch up with friends - there is a couch in the back for a more comfortable spot

Cute Vietnamese cafe near Rainier Ave, great spacious interior space. I walk here from my Doc's office. Friendly staff, yummy Macrina croissants & you can ask for just veggie bahn mi or add laughing cow cheese. Watch out for jalapeños. Great iced americanos. Check it out!

This is a small coffee shop attached to a creative space and has limited seating. Love the celebration of culture here. You will find a menu of Vietnamese coffee creations that aren't super common. We got the cà phê lá dúa (pandan condensed milk) hot. Pretty smooth, very light pandan flavor, and you still taste the dark, roasted coffee bean flavor. And they used this really cool Hermann cup design that hot drinks don't need a cup sleeve.

Beverages *Drinks- got a tea, light and flavorful. Warming for the soul. *Ca phe su da- standard yummy. Ambiance- cute Location- street parking. Area is not ideal with all the homeless down the street. Just be mindful of your surroundings. Value- fair. Recommend- yes. Will be back to try the food!

Hello Em FTW! My friends that were visiting me asked to go back here because it's that good :) We love their maggi coffee -- its such a unique combo that works well and I haven't seen it anywhere else! Their normal viet coffee is also solid. We also always get their pandan croissant!!! I've also had a few bites of my friend's breakfast banh mi and I will def be back to get my own! I love the way that they press the banh mi

Love this spot, probably my all time favorite vietnamese coffee shop in the states. The vibe is incredible and their knowledge sharing of vietnamese diaspora in Seattle plus art from local artists is the cherry on top for their community. The coffee itself was wonderful, the maggi drink was surprisingly delicious and their egg coffee was decent. Also loved their banh mi pate and service was efficient!

A beautiful space with very cool art from local artists. My coffee was incredible and I love pandan so the pandan croissant was everything I wanted, SO good!

Back for more delicious Vietnamese coffee. It's expensive - definitely not priced for immigrants, but rather for Americans - but tasty. Their ca phe chuoi (coffee with banana, coconut, egg cloud, salted peanuts, banana chips) is a little extra and a little pricey, but also delicious. I highly recommend their sua dac la dua (condensed milk and pandan) croissant, which is panini pressed to perfection. And their an sang breakfast sandwich always hits the spot. Make sure you bring cash or a debit card to avoid their fees. Also, they now have a great little community library featuring tons of Asian American authors with books for adults and children. Love the space and the easy free street parking!

Vietnamese coffee rarely lets me down. Favorite spot in Seattle and possibly top 3 in LA. The coffee was the perfect sweetness, the coconut flakes on top added a nice texture, the coffee wasn't too heavy or thick and was a nice consistency. The interior was amazing as well. Felt like I was transported to another country. Lots of open space and plenty of seating when I went. Food: 10/10 Service: 9/10 Ambience: 9/10

I love the food, drinks, and decor of this place! It's one of the coffee shops I bring my friends to who are from out of town and it's always a hit. They have unique flavors ranging from classic Vietnamese coffee to more exciting flavors. It can get busy so seating is limited, but I've been able to get a seat every time I've been. It's street parking, but plenty of spaces, especially up the hill.

i came here to get some work done and it's such a cool space. the drink was super delicious and i love that they play v pop. my friend and i sat at the couch which was pretty comfortable but not the most ergonomic for working on your laptop. i also noticed that they have bookcases full of books by asian authors and you can check them out at the tables in the back of the shop. this is my favorite thing about this place. i'm always looking to read books about the asian experience so i love this idea

This place is a weekend treat. And it would be an easy everyday treat if I was close enough to it! They roast the beans on-site, the pate bahn mi with egg is out of this world delicious and the strawberry mochi is a bite of heaven. This coffee and is so delicious that it is on my wish list every time the holidays come around so I can just stockpile at home. The seating is a little limited, but I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes. It's a pretty chill cafe but sometimes they host pop-ups so keep an eye for those because it does get packed during that. The parking, specially round this tea isn't too bad either, free street parking. My go to is clearly the pate bahn mi and mochi. Drink wise- an iced latte with the egg cream.

This is a cute little spot for some vietnamese coffee! I came on a gloomy saturday afternoon, and it was pretty busy inside. We basically took the last table available but slowly after people started clearing out. I go the ca fe den da, which was their espresso shaken with simple syrup. For some reason I was assuming that this would be like vietnamese iced coffee but it was basically a sweet americano (I know I definitely messed up when ordering though, my fault entirely). The drink itself was still quite good though - strong rich and yummy espresso flavor with just the right amount of sweetness. I also tried a bit of my friends vietnamese latte which tasted a little too much like condensed milk for me, but was good. Overall, it's hard to give 5 stars when I've had better coffee places, but nonetheless I would still recommend trying this spot and would come back again if I happened to be in the area - they have egg coffee which caught my eye!

Such a cute and modern touch. This shop shares space with a non-profit that inspires visitors to learn about the Vietnamese culture through coffee and artwork. Pretty neat :) Their service is quick and friendly! I ordered cafe trung (egg coffee) and banh mi pate. The banh mi was soooo delicious! It was so good we came back the next day. Highly recommend and Bon appetite! (Definitely coming back when I visit Seattle)

The place is beautiful and shows a lovely history of little Saigon in Seattle. I believe there's an organization linked to the same building. Workers are really nice! As for the drinks, they were a little disappointing. We got the pandan coffee, bac xiu and coconut coffee. Each drink lacked the sweetness of condensed milk or the coffee tasted super bitter. The coconut was tasted straight like coconut milk. I wasn't a fan of their Vietnamese coffee.

Ambiance is great with cute seating, coffee is really good and not too sweet (we loved both the coffee with condensed milk and the one with coconut water), and the banh mi with pate was soo yummy, crispy, and packed with flavor! The street is not super nice so not ideal to park on.

Every time I get a drink with egg cloud, it feels like a dessert. This time I tried the seasonal ca phe may, which was hot coffee with egg cloud, corn milk and cornflakes. It was such a delicious treat. The coffee here is usually pretty strong imho. The people here are super nice. I've always been greeted with smile. Several times I visited, the space is used for pop-ups or Small Business Saturday, so it's always full of people and energy.

One of the coffee shops that were on my list for my first visit to Seattle. I loved the wall with some historical background of Vietnam--also the decor of everything. I'm not much of a coffee drinker so the coffee was a bit too strong for me but my partner who does drink coffee found it very tasty!

I love coffee. I've been searching for egg coffee since going to Vietnam years ago. This place has it, and it's good. Banh mis are kind of an added benefit for me, usually. So I got one because I was hungry and wanted to get food to go along with the object of my decade long quest. Somehow the banh mi was even better than the coffee, and the coffee was already quite good. This place is a keeper. Give it a try if you haven't yet.

Amazzinggg coffee selection. I tried the torched egg coffee and the caramelized banana one. Both so much flavour, so it wasn't all just coffee. I especially loved the egg coffee, the torched egg cream was delicious, it went really well with the coffee and the pate banh mi that we ordered. I will come here again the next time I visit Seattle! The shop itself has a good amount of seating and the service was great!

Wow! The ambiance, service, and coffee are just phenomenal at Hello Em! I was so happy to find this gem. I opted for the ca phe sua da so I could enjoy a more traditional, social coffee drink. The coffee is roasty and strong with the sweetness from the condensed milk, I very much enjoyed it. I loved that the cafe itself was beautifully decorated and that there was plenty of history on Vietnam to gaze upon and learn about as well. I will definitely be back my next Seattle visit!

Been wanting to check this place out for a while to try out their pandan drink. There's plenty of street parking near by so makes for an easy pickup if you have a car. The ca phe la dua (espresso drink with pandan) didn't blow my mind. Don't get me wrong: it tasted decent, like your average good Viet coffee, but I didn't really taste much of the pandan. In addition, I guess since it was a shaken espresso drink there was not much in it. I took maybe 5 sips and the drink was gone. I also ordered the banh mi pate as I wanted a savory snack to go. It was good, but I usually like a lot more pate and mayo on mine. All in all, I still think Hello Em is worth checking out. I appreciate their takes on Viet coffee, and the ambiance and decorations are nice and thoughtfully designed.

My friend brought coffee and banh mi from this shop when coming to visit me. I ordered the egg coffee cold, egg coffee brûlée cold, salmon banh mi and the sausage banh mi. Both egg coffees are good. My husband likes viet coffee because it's strong and he doesn't mind the bitter taste. He didn't mix his drink. I like my coffee on the sweeter side. I tried the brûlée coffee before mixing it and it was definitely bitter but just a slight sweetness from the brûlée. After mixing it, it definitely tasted a lot better. I chugged the whole drink before realizing I didn't take a picture haha. The sweetness from the brûlée pieces is a nice touch. The banh mis are good. Very interesting that they're pressed basically like a panini. Takes out the crunchiness of the French bread and having crumbs all over the place like a regular banh mi. So it's not as crunchy but still has substance to each bite. My husband liked the salmon one but wished the salmon was a little warmer. Not sure if it was originally warm as my friend had to drive down to Tacoma which is like 30-40 minutes so it might have cooled down by then. But overall not bad he said. I had the sausage banh mi and loved it. I like the sausage and it's the kind you find in the spring rolls. Overall would recommend this place. Would stop in person next time I'm in the area.

Seriously great coffee and beautiful representation in their store. Parking is quite an issue so hopefully they can get that sorted out but wow the flavors and coffee are a must try!

DRINKS: Ca phe la dua (iced pandan condensed milk vietnamese coffee): 8.5/10 - This is a strong solid vietnamese coffee, but there was no pandan flavor and too much ice. The flavor is great though. *everything is sustainable (straws, cups), which I find super neat! SERVICE: The staff were quick and friendly! This seems like a small family owned business. AMBIANCE: Love the beautiful decor in this cafe. There's computers/a mini-library area to work at in the back, and there's some cool seating throughout the place.

Great spot in the International District. Can't go wrong with the breakfast croissant and ca phe may.

Every time I'm in Seattle, I make a stop at Hello Em. The service is top notch! I didn't get any food this time but their mochi cloud is a must try! The new menu item is the Maggi Carmel Coffee - Maggi Seasoning in coffee? What? It was uniquely delicious. The egg coffee and pandan coffee are both strong and true to their name. Of course, I love seeing the art displayed by local artists.

Delicious food and coffee! Very kind employees. Gorgeous cafe with a great atmosphere. We loved visiting here and would gladly come back! We had banh mi and viet coffee

Parking: all street parking, lots of it Cafe trung (egg coffee): 4/5, it will have that strong coffee taste so don't expect your typical Starbucks dessert cup, minus a star due to excessive ice. Bánh mì (sandwich): 3/5, best thing is the bread - it's rare to find a bread that isn't hard and flakey. Meat was dry, veggies were not fresh and they tried to overcompensate the issues for extra pate. Seating: limited but it flows with the entire vibe of the setting of the place. It's sort of loud but it's amazing to see the history all around the store, 5/5. Service was pretty fast, big team working.

There's only street parking for this coffee shop at the inside decoration was really cool. A lot of cool, posters lanterns, high ceilings, and really cool seating straw chairs that help with the whole vibe. We got the pandan and egg coffee drinks. Not really sure the best way to drink it but if you mix it all together, it taste really good and sweet. The foam on top has all the sweet flavor and the egg drink was really creamy and savory. Dependent one could be a little stronger and pendant flavor, but was still really good. We also got the nem nuong and breakfast banh mi. Oprah really good but the breakfast one had just more of the traditional bánh mì flavor with the cha lua in it. Overall, it was a really good experience and the staff was super nice .

I was recommended by a friend to visit this place. We were able to find parking right in front of the cafe, but we went on a Monday. The place gives off a Vietnamese vibe and is decorated quite nicely. There is a board where customers can leave feedback for the cafe, which I thought was nice. I also appreciated that they have other drinks for people who don't drink or like coffee, like myself. I ordered their passionfruit rambutan drink, which I found unique because you don't find rambutan as often here in the U.S compared to Asia. The drink was really good! It was one of the best drinks I had while visiting Seattle. I also had sips of the Vietnamese coffee and the torch egg because my friends got it, and they tasted very rich. They also had a mini section in the back where they sold cute pins and other stuff. Overall, this is a good place to come with friends, and I would visit again.

My puppy and I love going to Hello Em on our morning walks! Their coffee is delicious (I have yet to try their food but it looks so yummy!) and they are very dog friendly. Great service too- the workers are always so kind and helpful! Highly recommend and bring your dog too!

Great environment inside, good size for small groups and delicious coffee! Will definitely come back

Don't be fooled by the small sizes, the drinks at Hello 'Em are STRONG - each drink is packed with caffeine and flavor. I got the ca phe sua da with egg cloud and egg cream. They have different variations of their coffee, including one with pandan. I was worried both the egg cream and cloud would be overpowering, but it nicely balanced the coffee flavor. The inside is also very cute, it's got a homey ambience and plenty of space if you want to sit and enjoy your coffee. I read some subpar reviews about the service, but I've been here a few times and have always experienced friendly service. The only down side about Hello Em is probably the parking, there's only street parking. I usually just go with someone and they pull over while I go in. Overall, I'm a fan of Hello Em's coffee and will definitely continue to come back!

Hello Em has a huge space and ample seating. It's very well lit and has plenty of informative decorations detailing the coffee industry in Vietnam. Also there are lots of friendly dogs!! They have a wide variety of drinks for you to choose from on their menu. Fortunately I didn't experience any of the bad treatment from the baristas that other reviews mention, although I didn't ask for any customization. I will say that you SHOULD NOT WALK here, as it's in a pretty sketch looking area.

Honestly, one of the view coffee shops/cafes that I can actually tolerate. Located right outside the center of Little Saigon, this place serves up unique takes on bánh mì, along with other Vietnamese beverages. I've visited a view times on weekends, and during prime hours, it can get VERY busy. The inside doesn't have a lot of seating for large groups - I'd say groups of 4 max work well here. What's cool about the interior is that they often display pieces of art that depict the Vietnamese experience or are related to Vietnamese culture in some way, which really shows this place is rooted in Vietnamese traditions. When I've visited, they also have had a live DJ spinning, and the music would range from lo-fi type hip-hop to R&B, so it really caters to the younger crowd. My go-to order is the Nem Nuong - Viet Pork Sausage bánh mì with a pandan milk to drink. The bánh mì is pressed, which makes the bite significantly more manageable than traditional bánh mì. The bread itself still maintains that crunchy exterior and fluffy interior from traditional bánh mì, despite it being pressed. And the fillings are phenomenal - salty and sweet pork sausage, crunchy and fresh pickled carrots and daikon, a smooth and creamy lemongrass aioli. Not sure what more you'd need in a breakfast sandwich. It's filling, yet fresh and light. And the pandan milk washes it down great - the pandan flavor is there but not overpowering. Note that for each bánh mì, you can replace the pressed bánh mì bread with a crossaint if you ask. Pricing is comparable to other coffee shops/cafes in the area. My order comes in a little under $20, which sounds fair to me. For parking options, I recommend parking on the street right in front of the store. Street parking there is free, and I've never had an issue finding a spot. I'd avoid parking more up the street closer to the center of Little Saigon since it always is filled with sketchy people in that area. It's low-key becoming a weekend tradition for me to stop by every Sunday before doing some errands in Chinatown, so I'll be coming here for the foreseeable future.

Our favorite coffee shop while visiting Seattle. They have a great selection on their menu. We wanted to try them all. Food and drinks were all tasty and worth the try. My favorite was their pandan coffee and pate banh mi! Ambiance is clean and super airy. If I lived in the area, it would be a perfect wfh spot. The back of the shop also has a pop up shop with fun Vietnamese cultural gifts and items. We purchased Vietnamese flash cards for our baby nephew. Super excited to gift it to him on his birthday!

Hello Em is an adorable coffee shop located in Little Saigon! There are a bunch of other Vietnamese restaurants near by. I've heard so much of their coffee and I was excited to finally try it. First off, there's primarily street parking - we were able to find a spot! Once you walk in, the inside is pretty spacious. I regret not coming here to work - there's definitely seats but limited outlet space. The interior is also super well decorated. The chairs and tables reminded me of Vietnam! As for drinks, we ordered the ca phe la dua (pandan) and ca phe chuoi (banana) - both iced. We couldn't taste much of the pandan but I heard it's better hot. The banana one was DELICIOUS. It was definitely a new type of flavor but extremely rich and creamy - definitely a fan. I would say the drinks are a bit pricy - but for the quality, it's worth it. The drinks also come out pretty fast so I would recommend coming here again

Honestly expected a little more. This is a little community Vietnamese coffee shop tucked underneath apartments and on a street of warehouses. Kind of hard to find parking and a little sketchy. Ca phe choi - which tasted great but also felt like a concoction that had way more random toppings than it should. It's not always fun having to open the lid to ear a banana chip or choking on bits of peanuts while you sip. I would recommend just going for something simple. Space - this place doesn't endorse the shop as a working space. The outlets are covered up to make sure you know that. The cute seats are also only designed for two people to talk while sipping coffee, not work. They are also closely packed together. They seem very passionate about supporting the local Vietnamese community. They have a mini library from Vietnamese authors and wall of local art.

This was one of our last stops on our Seattle trip and I am so glad we were able to see it. The first thing I noticed was how well decorated the little cafe is. There was an art exhibit with pieces made by Vietnamese Americans, some wall art with details about the role of Robusta coffee, and the cafe itself is filled with Vietnamese chairs and decor. As a Vietnamese American, it made me so incredibly happy to see my culture represented so well. This place isn't just a cafe, it is a cultural space for the community. The owner is really using this space to not only showcase Vietnamese coffee and cuisine, but also the rich culture and history. I tried the the ca phe la dua, which is a Vietnamese coffee with special pandan condensed milk. It was delicious!! One of the best Vietnamese coffees I've had, strong but with a unique pandan flavor twist. The drink comes with a special rice straw that is degradable. They even roast their beans themselves!! We also tried their breakfast banh mi. My friends said that it was the best banh mi they have had, and I have to agree! The baguette was crispy and there was a generous amount of filling. I love the pate, mayo, and cha lua. I don't normally have egg in my banh mi, it definitely added a unique texture! Overall, this is one of my favorite cafe's that I have ever visited. Stop by if you have a chance! I hope they open up more locations soon.

Ummm I think I just had the best Vietnamese coffee that I've ever had?!?! Granted, too heavy on the ice (waiting for more of it to melt as I'm writing this) and I was given a skimpy amount of pandan flavoring (when comparing to photos of the drink posted by other folks). Still, super smooth, robust, and creamy taste of Vietnamese coffee! I also had the nem nướng bánh mì. Different than a typical bánh mì but in an amazing way. Huge chunks of succulent Vietnamese pork sausage that complements very well with the aioli-dressed veggies. Wowowow. I've never been to Vietnam but I feel like it would be served at a street food cart there; it just tasted, what I feel to be, so authentic! Seattle, why and how do you have such good food and drinks?!?! I think this is my favorite meal in my current Seattle trip (at least so far hehe)!

Great coffee, roasted in house (upstairs apparently). And a nice open space to lounge and chat. Got the ca phe la dua (pandan flavored) which was good. Didn't really taste much pandan, but otherwise tasty.

The drinks and food were pretty good overall. They don't have much for tea drinkers (3 teas to be exact), but if you love Vietnamese coffee, this is your place. I was having a Pandan day so I tried the Pandan fairy tea, which was very tasty, Pandan coffee, which was also good and fun looking, and the Pandan croissant, which was delicious and they warmed it for me which made it even better. There's some bakery but I only really saw one option for vegetarians (Pandan croissant) and none for vegans as a heads up. The service was really friendly and prompt and they answered any questions. The ambiance was pretty cool with the history of Little Saigon and the art hanging on the wall and from the ceiling. The seating is kind of set up in three large areas and more communal than individual tables for groups and I think this is very intentional and interesting. One other note is that the cafe is not in a super great area as of March 2024. I would just encourage mindfulness of your surroundings if taking public transit, driving, or walking, especially if alone as I was.

I got the iced pandan coffee with condensed milk, it was ok. I didn't taste the pandan at all. The look of the coffee was super cute, it had like pandan streaks along the cup. The coffee itself was a little too dark (I've had my fair share of vietnamese iced coffee) but this almost tasted like burnt beans. Service was good, they were super quick. The place was super cute, I could see some cute ig photos being taken here. There's a couple of tables in the back for working or studying. Also some cute chairs to chill.

Ambiance is amazing. You get a sense of Vietnamese pride and history imprinted throughout the store. You even have the neon tiny chairs out front! A classic street set up in Vietnam! The coffee are pretty good, I think there biggest hit is the egg coffee while the others were tasteful but not captivating as their flagship drink. The sandwich...ugh... I'm sorry but it was not good... I am very passionate about Vietnamese sandwiches and this did not hit the mark. You can tell in the photo how dry the bread was and the filling was less than exciting. This is a great place for coffee but not for their sandwiches. Head to Saigon deli! It is top 3 for me! The service was friendly, no complaint. I was turn down for an order because I was 30 minutes early before their open but no big deal.

Went to buy beans. Very good service and if you want those robusta flavors this is your place. Family all got coffees and were super happy with selections especially the cold drinks.

A plus for creativity and execution. I've never had a pressed banh mi sandwich before but it was perfection. The bread was so ridiculously crunchy but not overly buttery or greasy like other pressed sammies. I had the simple one with pate and man was it oozing with flavor and texture. I didn't get a chance to sample the drinks yet but I'll be back next time when I'm in the area to pair my sandwich with a drink.

Service was decent, brief interaction when ordering the drinks. Employees seemed kind of busy though and kind of just left our drinks at the counter--we needed lids since we were taking it togo, but my mom wasn't sure if she needed to ask someone etc, so we self served by grabbing the lids/straws. Perhaps they could FYI us next time, as not everyone is a regular at this place. Got the banana coffee which Id give it a solid 4.5/5, cant really go wrong with that. The condensed coffee milk was also fine. I also got the durian and mango mochi pillow, which on the outside is a cold medium sizes mochi, but on taste, exceeds my expectations 10 fold -- I give a 5/5 for both. Overall, I enjoyed the Asian Am vibes, appreciate the drinks, books, mochi. Constructive feedback would just be more user friendly for newcomers as mentioned above.
