What a lovely place, first time there today and we loved it. The couple who run it make you feel so welcome, and I loved the puzzle they gave us to do while we waited for food. The drinks were lovely and the crepes were gorgeous. Highly recommended this place :)

Very happy repeat customer here :) The food and drinks are always delicious and the owners are lovely people who care about the dishes they serve. At the time of writing, this cafe has the best miso soup, the best matcha and the best hot chocolate that I've had around Manchester. I'm still making my way through the menu. Lots of cute house decorations and other bits can be purchased in the cafe as well. I've been avoiding buying more things in general, but I couldn't resist a couple of very pretty hair ornaments ^.^

Lovely experience! From the get go, we felt welcomed. The hosts explained the menu items well, and we were made to feel at home. We ordered crepes, a Matcha bubble tea, and a fresh Matcha tea. We were very impressed with the quality of the matcha; not bitter at all, great taste and went down smoothly. The puzzle provided to figure out over the food was a fun addition also. Plus, the selection of teas they sell are great. The space is small, so you would ideally only bring a maximum of 3 people with you, however I feel it adds to the cosiness of the space. Will definitely return, and highly recommend going :)

We decided to celebrate our anniversary there and it was very lovely! We both got tea, matcha and peppermint, and food to share. Miso soup was delicious, sweet and savoury with seaweed and spring onions. The beef udon was rich and filling plus edamame beans lightly sprinkled with salt. I can highly recommend going here for great food, drinks or when you want a quiet moment to recharge your energy. Thank you!
