Requiem: Coffee, Tea, and Fantasy

Went for the Over the Garden Wall event and it was beautifully decorated! The food and drinks fit the event so well and were delicious. They also had merch stands on the other side of the cafe where I bought some really nice cardigans and sweaters. They also had an area for board games and free play. We easily spent 2 hours here. The staff were so friendly and we has such a great time! Thank you SOOO much, will be coming again :)

I always love coming here for events! The staff is very accommodating. The food and drinks are very average and don't fit the pictures. Overall a great place to hang out and buy merch and do activities! The pictures show me at their recent Over the Garden Wall event.

My daughter wanted to check out this place after hearing about it from a friend. It wasn't quite what I expected but she was thrilled. The fantasy-themed decor makes it feel like an escape. The coffee drinks are on the sweeter side, which is not my favorite but our girls were thrilled. Seems like we were there the day after a big event because they were sold out of several food items but we are glad we went.

Went here for The Amazing Digital Circus collaboration, and I purposefully avoided seeing as much videos so that I wouldn’t get spoiled, but I wish I did to see how it was going to turn out. We got inside and it’s… alright of course, they worked hard to have the environment cozy and have lots of photo ops, but what really disappointed me was the experience. All food was already sold out, which is what I was looking forward to, since I wanted to try the vegan burger I saw. Not even any of the snacks available, just the drinks. My Gatergoo was genuinely delicious however. The merchandise, while it’s nice that you can support independent artists’ prints, they barely had any actual digital circus merch besides pins. (Might I mention a pin and keychain costed $30…) The event, while yes it was at 5 pm on a Sunday, was already overcrowded inside, with us getting our drinks 45 minutes isn’t the event after constant standing in line. If you are standby you will have to deal with this on TOP of waiting outside. I wish they could have done a better job estimating how many people would show up, and prepare for the food in advance. Not sure if I’ll come back for another collab event, and if I do, just go as early as possible…? Of course they are trying their best, but unfortunately this made me have a negative experience visiting.

The Requiem Cafe has truly outdone itself with the Digital Circus collaboration! Each drink is a delightful mix of creativity and flavor, making every sip an exciting adventure. The vibrant decor and immersive atmosphere perfectly complement the unique menu, creating an unforgettable experience!

This place is so cute! The atmosphere is so pretty when you first walk in with the lighting and indoor 'tree', the geeky aesthetic is such a cute concept, and a lot of their menu items being based on game and anime is a nice touch. I personally really love their Tea Salt Ice Cream based on the Kingdom Hearts series. The staff are also so friendly! They're so kind and welcoming, and even really accommodating. They even so far to offer a replacement drink one time when there were issues with one specific drink that was happening due to sourcing issues, even though I enjoyed the tea anyways. It's the extra niceties that go the longest way. Also the events they host, big or small, are just so nice! It brings a sense of community that I really just can't get enough of. It's welcoming to say the least. This isn't even mentioning the connected store(?) to the cafe with board games, video game setups, and even arts and craft sections for customers to hang out at and just do their thing. Honestly, one of my favorite places to visit whenever I'm in Cali.

Loved the vibes and the drinks! Definitely wished they had a wider hot drink selection, but other than that this place is a solid Coffee and Tea spot. Definitely will be returning here in the future.

I love this cafe! Beyond having great curated drinks and food and fun decor, they do a lot to foster a sense of community - they throw events ranging from karaoke, board game events, to full blown collaborations such as the one they recently did for Over the Garden Wall. I wish I lived closer - I would be visiting all the time! But I do make the trek from LA a few times a year and it's a great time every time. :) My only request is I wish they had more vegan options! But I am grateful for the ones they do have. Go check it out! It's a great cafe with people who really care about fostering a community.
