Lauren Woll: Rather too hipster-grunge chic for me, but where else will you get a matcha donut?
Brook Shelley: The donuts rule! I don’t often want sweets, but the flavors are so good, and the sweetness and chew of the donuts is perfect. Try the classic glazed or the matcha donut.
DailyCandy: Head here for vegan, organic treats in the style of Portland, Oregon’s famed Voodoo Doughnut. Don’t miss the maple (the glaze is actually made from a mushroom), blueberry, and lemon poppy seed.

Kait Gaiss: Food court / incubator in Oakland. Get the oysters at The Cook and Her Farmer, the split-pea fritters at Miss Ollie's, the wild shrimp tacos at Cosecha, and the matcha affogato at B-Dama.
Aaron Mason: Come by Thursday and Friday 6-9pm when the secret wine bar opens.
Dayee: The pizza place is no longer there, so main vegetarian options are limited to overpriced kale salad or grilled cheese.

Angelica W: Get the soft cream. Black sesame and matcha are very flavorful
Ruby: Was hesitant about getting the black sesame soft serve because I wasn't sure what to expect but I did not regret it all. It was flavorful and different. I would definitely order it again.
Diana Arz: Seasonal cantaloupe flavor with tofu is great! Sesame one is awesome too. Not overly sweet, very smooth 😊
Eater: Personalize your matcha by sweetness, amount of ice, and an impressive selection of toppings on the generously sized drinks. Bonus: Happy hour Monday through Thursday after 5 and all day Saturday. Read more.
Nicole Aptekar: Taro milk tea with boba is delightful, with bits of fresh grated taro! Also the alishan tea krema, omg.
michael yang: State of the art and high quality, with large serving size. A little slow when they get crowded.

DEREK RAYROSE: The monk fish liver melts in your mouth; better than a fine pate. The salmon belly is so juicy, and tender. But, the conch was my favorite; super fresh; reminding of a sunny beach on the Carribean.
Richard Chen: Look on the daily specials board and order up like mad. Many items not found at your average US sushi places.
