The coffee
Design-led specialty coffee and ceremonial-matcha bar with flavored signatures, pastries, desserts, and laboratory-inspired branding.
The menu distinguishes classic coffee, signature coffee, and ceremonial matcha, while customer feedback singles out vanilla-cinnamon espresso drinks, strawberry-ube lattes, and Irish-cream cold foam. Retail “Lab Roasts” are referenced, but current origin, process, and roasting-location detail remains absent. This is strongest for inventive flavored drinks rather than a documented manual-brew program.
The room
Modern white-and-maroon room with line-drawing art, deep-button seating, a vinyl-record wall, and a dedicated photo-oriented area.
