Been meaning to write this a while ago. I was downtown for a work training and needed a drink to go with my bagel. I happened across this while walking in the direction of the Starbucks. They had alittle easel that said Masala Tea. I turned about and when into their store. Aplus is they are a small business, I believe women owned. I then saw they had Kashimiri masala tea. So had to order that, with my almond milk substitute. Wow! the flavor was so good. There was just that hint of rose that sets it apart from the regular Indian masala. The staff is friendly and awesome. You can tell they love their business. I also love all the different types of coffee pots they have through the eras on their shelves. Unfortunately I start work at the time they open and get off work at the time they close. But great spot and highly recommend checking them out and supporting.

Sat here with a cinnamon latte..it was a warm cup of latte and rested in Oakland. The attendant talked to me about birthday parties and his father.

This review is long overdue. Went here nearly every day before moving to a new neighborhood. This place is the best. The service is incredible- it's a real neighborhood spot where people remember you and employees seem happy to be there. They offer unique drinks throughout the year (e.g. burnt cinnamon and ube lattes) that you won't find elsewhere.

I love modern coffee! This location is very convenient for me so I stop in often - I just wish they were open in the afternoon for a pick-me-up! I like that they have special touches - such as their lavender syrup made in-house - that you can add to your drink.

I normally look forward to their seasonal lavender match and I try to only get it when I really want to treat myself at $6 a pop. That said, I was extremely disappointed on my latest visit. It was probably the worst matcha I've ever had. I even think they forgot to add the lavender. It was very weak and watered down with no hint of lavender or matcha flavor whatsoever. I'm not a picky person so I was surprised as to how much I didn't like it. If I hadn't already gone back to work, I would've asked them to remake it. Lesson learned to always taste before you leave. 2 stars because it could've been better and normally isn't that bad.

This place is right near my work! I always go for the matcha, it's literally the best and the chocolate croissant is sooooo delicious! I wish they can warm it up. But overall the service is speedy and the people who work there are always so nice & friendly and make everything so perfect!

A great local spot with a relaxing vibe to grab a coffee with a friend or get some work done if needed. Inside has about 4 tables and plenty of outlets. The loose leaf tea selection is amazing. The speciality drinks are one of a kind and so savory.
