The verdict

Field notes

Hidden gem Chill Locals + tourists

A Japanese-style, cat-themed cafe in Liliha that excels at creative, oat-milk based cold brews and high-grade matcha. The bottled drinks are a great value for those who want to stock up or grab-and-go, and the aesthetic is immaculate. If you're looking for a place to settle in for a long work session or want a traditional dairy-milk latte, this isn't it—the space is tiny, seating is very limited, and the menu is oat-milk focused.
