About

Paper Sons pairs coffee drinks such as the black sesame vanilla Silk + Smoke latte with housemade mooncakes and sesame mochi balls; several pastries and drinks can be made vegan, but the café also serves items with meat, dairy, and egg. It’s a relaxed Chinatown spot with window seating, laptop outlets, and friendly baristas, though a vegan char siu bao may not be available on every visit.
