Brought my international colleagues here and they were blown away. The Moroccan Tagine and the Cold Brew in the same sitting — this place has range. Definitely coming back with more people.

As someone who follows a vegan diet, finding a place with this much variety and this much care for ingredients feels like a gift. The Acai Bowl and Matcha Latte are on permanent rotation for me.

TheLighterSide is genuinely unlike any cafe I have visited. The Vietnamese Pho warmed my soul and the latte art was museum-worthy. I come here every week without fail.
