Update: I came back to this spot because it’s just so nice to work here, really. I appreciate how chill the music is FR today because I had to lock in. I did try the rose, lemon, poppyseed bread, it looked way better than it tasted. I was so disappointed it was too sweet! And also soooo dry but the frosting was yummy. That’s said, the staff here are so phenomenal: they are just the sweetest women I’ve ever met. Loved the staff here there were two women working and they were so kind. Very clean space with WiFi and yummy coffee (though I drink many a lattes and this was just okay). The staff here is really kind though! I love how their music is not too loud and you can work to it :))

I tried the Black Sesame Cream Latte, but perhaps due to the low amount of black sesame, it didn’t have the rich, nutty thickness I expected. It’s a unique drink that I recommend trying, though it really depends on personal taste. For those familiar with this drink, the experience might differ, but for a first-timer, it could be quite captivating. The café is managed by Koreans, and I’m unsure if its name derives from the Korean word for “father” or Sweden’s group ABBA.

Cute little cafe! Stopped in while exploring Portland, the staff was friendly & gave me recommendations on popular drinks. The display of the drink was very cutesy but it wasn’t my favorite to drink. It was just okay mostly milk.
