About this place
One diner recalled the contrast in the sakura canelé: a crisp exterior and a moist centre. The cherry blossom flavour was gentle rather than pronounced, making it an appealing seasonal sweet. Others paired it with sakura Basque cheesecake or sakura soda; ordering two petite sweets is one way to compare them.
The coffee menu lets you choose beans such as Brazil and Ethiopia, with flavour notes to guide you. Brazil is described with notes of dark chocolate and roasted almonds, while Ethiopia is associated with peach, raspberry and lemon. Slayer Drip is another option: the beans are ground to order and brewed one cup at a time. One visitor found the Brazil-based latte rich yet balanced and easy to drink.
For a drink beyond coffee, consider the beets latte, made with house-made syrup combining pesticide-free domestic beets and several spices. Someone who tried the seasonal version praised its vivid colour and restrained sweetness. You can eat in, though reviewers note that seating is limited; takeaway is an option if you would rather not depend on finding a seat.
