The coffee was just okay. We got the Ube orbit and it tasted mostly like food dye and very less like Ube. The drinks looked pretty but taste was not the best. We were pretty disappointed. However, the place is really cool and I would definitely come back to try the bucket of donuts and perhaps just the Vietnamese iced coffee And not the Ube part. It is located in the middle of the plaza so be aware you can't really see it in the street.

Today was the third time I went to this place and probably the last time. The cashier girl was so rude. Maybe she had a bad sleep last night, or she is not interested in her job. As soon as I entered the coffee shop, she yelled: “DoorDash?” And I was like, “No, give me a minute! ….” Then I got a caramel latte (they forgot to add caramel), a half bucket of donuts, and one bottle of their cold brew. The cashier printed the receipt, as seen in the attached photo. I told the cashier that the prices are not printed, and she answered something like: it is as it is 🙄. The coffee was fine, but the donuts were less than average. Very disappointing. I get back to my lovely Starbucks!

Instagram ads for the Oreo inspired ‘Dark Matter’ lured me into this cafe. It’s tucked away inside a corporate building with a nice patio to enjoy coffee on. The coffee/drink itself was a massive disappointment thought. Looked better than it tasted. The price for the smaller glass was $6.5 which is steep. 2/5 for me. Won’t be returning.

Really great experience overall, wait was a bit long but staff were nice. Heard about this place through Instagram. The coffee was good, but not as good as I expected (I'd probably recommend getting a simpler drink without a lot of caramel/chocolate in it). The food was AMAZING though, and probably some of the best that you could get at a niche cafe.

They make you order through DoorDash when it is unnecessary. It wasn’t even busy when I was ordering. Coffee tastes watered down. Mediocre.

Went today to try out the Ube Nebula. Never been so disappointed. It didn’t taste at all like Ube. Sadly to say I bought 2 of them for 15$ which is expensive for a subpar drink. I would’ve taken those and got my usual 10$ coffee at Starbucks never again. Don’t trust the Instagramers I came because of Littlebaker_sj hypes them up and was sadly disappointed.

When you walk into this place it feel sad and depressing. Couldn't even tell where we should order. My son and I stood at the register for almost 5 minutes before someone came and help us. Please note that was only 3 people in the store before us. We ordered a Ube Nebulae, Dark Matter, Banh Mi Burrito and mini donuts. Sadly the best things we got was the mini donuts. The coffee had no flavor and not even strong. We couldn't taste any coffee. It felt like we drink water down coffee. The banh mi burrito barely had any fellings. We didn't taste any chicken it also. Very very disappointed for having all the hype on social media.

The coffee is tasty, sweet and strong, but $7.50 for 16oz when most of it is ice is beyond ridiculous. Especially when it’s $4 at good Vietnamese spots. The best thing about this spot is that it’s in a nice commercial plaza where you can kick back, read, and get some work done on some outdoor tables surrounded by plants and running water

Didn't get any chocolate syrup for the Dark Matter. Does not look like their photos at all and tastes gross. Oatmilk was seperated 🤮 Never coming back!

Great coffee but they charged me $40 for the coffee kit when online it only said $28….
