LITTLE PEBBLES CAFE
About
Guests point out that the matcha flavor can sometimes be overpowering, particularly in the Matcha Raspberry Croissant ($6-$12), where the bitter taste of matcha combined with the sweet and sour flavor of raspberry was delicious. However, several flag the issue of clumped together and powdery matcha powder in their drinks. On the other hand, many note the creamy, rich filling complementing the flaky cube croissant ($7-$12) for a perfect balance. The Matcha Tiramisu Latte is also highly favored, with moderate sweetness enhancing its overall enjoyment. That said, some find that the quality of matcha used has declined over time and suggest that the cafe may be better suited for takeout due to its small size and potential for being noisy or crowded. The atmosphere at LITTLE PEBBLES CAFE is frequently noted as charming and cozy, though food safety concerns have been raised regarding moldy tiramisu and unwashed strawberries. Overall, while there are mixed sentiments about the matcha quality, the cafe still offers good value for pastries and coffee.
