Place: The cafe is pretty spacious with has ample seating variety (large tables for group study, smaller dining tables, and a couch/sofa area). The decor and dark wood interior creates a cozy and chill atmosphere. I loved all the vintage and Tibetan themed decorations! The location itself is a bit separated from other food/shopping places and there is only street parking, so it will be a very intentional visit. We went on a Saturday, so the cafe was bustling with friends catching up and people getting work done together. We only interacted with staff taking our order, but they were friendly!
Food: I loved that there were savory and sweet options at this cafe! We could get a quick bite to eat while also enjoying a drink.
- Beef Momos: The texture was good, the momo skin was thick, chewy, and steamed perfectly! I found the filling to be a little too aromatic with the herbs they used, but it was masked by dipping it in soy sauce and the chili oil. The chili oil packs a slow heat, but I highly recommend eating it with the momos! I thought the vermicelli noodles inside were a nice addition to the filling.
- Butterfly pea matcha: As with any other butterfly pea drink, it looked so pretty unmixed! The butterfly pea portion was creamy and sweet, but not a syrupy sweet taste, so it mixed well with the nuttiness matcha. The matcha portion was a nice dark green, but it didn't taste too bitter.
- Corn latte: It is hard to get a corn drink right, and I can't say that I was too impressed with this mix. The coffee part itself was sweet and strong, but the corn did not blend well with the coffee. There were small bits of corn (mostly kernel skin) that added an interesting texture & chew, but it left me desiring either a topping that was more crunchy or soft/chewy.
Overall, I would return to try more drinks as they had an extensive and creative menu of options! My favorite of the two I tried would have to be the butterfly pea matcha, as it was an energizing, smooth drink that was not overly sweet. While I thought the momos were decent, I would likely go elsewhere if I really wanted to satisfy the craving. However, it is a welcome menu option as I usually do want something savory to eat while sipping on a drink.
