a MUST-GO place!!! Wow…my husband and I went yesterday and I am still thinking about the chicken katsu sandwich on a croissant and my london fog latte. They were unbelievably delicious. My husband ordered a latte and the same sandwich and was equally impressed. The service was excellent and the vibes inside are quiet and relaxed. We’re already making plans to go again…I wish I took a picture of the food but I was too busy enjoying it 🥰🤌

The crispy katsu was cushioned between a soft, warm croissant. All the ingredients play well of each other. Would get again! The frappe was delicious. Right amount of sweetness. The chok was surprisingly packed with a lot of flavor. I am used to rice porridge having a very subtle almost bland taste, but this was great. I’m glad I was able to try this new dish. An amazing place to try if you’re looking for Asian fusion dishes for breakfast.

Nice and quiet place suitable for work or catching up with friends. There aren't too many breakfast selections, but many drink options. If you're a coffee drinker, I would recommend a Mocha Latte or an Espresso Caramel Frappe. If you're going for boba, I would recommend Black Ivory milk tea, Mango & Strawberry fruit tea, or Mango Snow. Apparently, the barista/chef is also the artist behind all the artworks there, a talented guy.

Ok Raleigh! Come to this spot! If you like tea, coffee, asian fusion. Thanks so much for the amazing chicken katsu sandwhich, I havent had chicken katsu since living in Vegas and it was so good! The couches need a little bit of tlc but they had a ton of tables and chairs and extra space, I’m loving it and will def be back!

Great spot! The iced latte had a great composition, and the boba straw was a nice element. Wonderful service and atmosphere. The Bangkok chicken breakfast burrito was good, but didn't hit the breakfast realm for me. Definitely more of a lunch option.
