A charming neighborhood spot with delicious, fresh rice balls and great drinks. It's fun browsing the snacks, old books, and knick knacks while I wait for my order. Still one of my favorite places to stop by on a nice walk.

I have biked by this place a dozen times but never stopped in until this morning, and I’m so glad I did! They’ve been around six years she told me. I got the white tip Jasmine tea latte with oat milk (they also have almond milk) and a mushroom onigiri. They were both bomb. So many Japanese hand snacks and tea drinks. No places to sit, but I still highly recommend!!

Perfect little neighborhood gem. The food is excellent and the owner is so sweet. This is a business you immediately want to support and become a regular.

Had the most delicious yuzu lemonade I've ever had, had to go back the next day for another. Hack is to ask for it to be with sparkling water. The owner is absolutely lovely - incredibly friendly and hospitable, goes out of her way to help. Will probably be back tomorrow!

Love this place! Tons of really cool Japanese snacks and amazing homemade rice balls which my daughter absolutely loves and devours! The owner is super charming and welcoming. She's really become a big part of our neighborhood.
