Lunabar Coffee is a quiet little space decorated with luscious plants that provide a comfortable atmosphere. It is an ideal place for “me time” in the little garden. Chill out in the cozy café with their hand-brewed coffee, matcha (Japanese green tea) drinks, or hot chocolate. Although there are limited dessert choices to choose from, matchamisu (a combination of matcha and tiramisu) and matcha affogato (matcha ice cream served with matcha sauce) are some of the popular choices by customers. For cake lovers, try the poppy seed lemon cake or the chocolate cheesecake.
