Although Rowseelee is big on bubble teas, the sweet spot also serves coffee-inspired beverages. The café specializes in high-quality, hand-picked organic teas and ingredients, with bestsellers like jasmine pearly milk tea, tropical fruit tea, and strawberry matcha latte.

At Sweet Harvest Café, think acai bowls, smoothies, and seasonal lemonades. With a whole menu dedicated to gluten-free, vegan, and dairy-free options, the brunch stop somehow makes room for a coffee section as well. For something sweet, try the brown sugar shaken espresso, and order the cold brew meltdown to stay energized throughout the day.
