"Whenever lunchtime rolls around and the closest thing we have to a proper meal is half a box of Wheat Thins, we beeline to Stonemill Matcha. The Japanese cafe is home to chicken katsu with silky, gravy-like curry we could write endless love haikus about. And their peaceful space, filled with an arboretum’s worth of plants and light wood accents, is ideal for turning your lunch hour into two hours. Anything involving their golden-brown katsu is a winning order, along with their fantastic baked goods, like matcha cream pie and black sesame cream puffs.
