What people say

"Great place to try Japanese sweets, they also have incredible cakes and salty options. The sitting area is pretty cozy. They have self-service system if you choose to dine in. We got some coffee and tried mochis, the taste, texture, everything was perfect 😋 They also gave us a piece of panettone to try, it was super delicious, as well. The staff was quite nice and friendly."
