The vibes were immaculate and I would fight to the death to defend the nice old lady who works at the counter, 10 out of 10

While on jury duty at the nearby criminal courthouse, this was my favorite coffee spot to take a break for lunch. After trying dozens of nearby shops (I was on a case for many weeks) each day - this one had the best prices and friendliest service. Wifi was a nice touch as well as I could get some work done before returning to the courthouse. I highly recommend!

I’ve been coming here since before COVID. It’s convenient and perfect when meeting friends for a casual tea or drink. My go-to place for a long time.

My favorite matcha ordered to date. Coming from your neighborhood matcha fiend, this matcha was incomparable to any matcha I’ve ever made or bought anywhere. I got it lightly sweetened with honey (which I don’t normally do) and it was just such a perfect matcha. Very reasonable prices for a coffee/ tea shop of this caliber and experience.Side note: matcha is not on their menu, you have to ask!

My favorite cafe in the neighborhood. Very pleasant staff. Great vibes, making a very pleasant place to do work. All food items are very affordably priced. The music is also constantly changing, which I LOVE--always different genres, sometimes even silence which is nice too.

Watered down milk tea with no taste. Atmosphere is like a basement storage.

Looks nice. Not for me, stay away from silk reminders. Beats looking at a ceiling in Hattiesburg.

Quick spot for lots of tea options

If you are a tourist and want to rest and get a drink in Chinatown, don’t come here. They require every customer to buy something.I came to the cafe with my friend. I got a drink, but my friend didn’t. The owner/older lady came over and said my friend also needs to get something to drink; otherwise, we need to leave. I told her I got a drink already, but she insisted that my friend needed to purchase too. The lady then accused my friend of trying to make money on the premises. She is a graduate student conducting research with my daughter.My friend ended up buying a drink, but this episode and the lady’s poor attitude left a sour taste in my mouth and ruined an otherwise good day.There are lots of great cafes and bakeries in Chinatown with great food and drinks.
