Pair their savoury and cheesy Croque Madame and with their Uji Matcha Latte. The Matcha is light and mildly astringent, which balances the strong flavours from the mains. Of course, don’t miss out on the picture-perfect sweet treats, including the Strawberry Cheesecake. It looks like it came straight out of a cartoon.
