I used to come here often a few years ago for takeaway coffee when I worked closer to Town Hall, and this was my first visit back in a while! I’m happy to say the coffee quality is still just as good as I remember. I ordered two flat whites—one for me and one for a friend. My coffee was smooth, had a perfect temperature, and tasted amazing. I’ll definitely be back for more!

Absolutely loved the iced matcha latte paired with matcha gelato here. The matcha flavor is rich and authentic, with just the right amount of sweetness. The gelato complements the latte perfectly, creating a delightful matcha experience. Highly recommend for all matcha enthusiasts!

I ordered the vanilla milkshake. They didn’t use ice or water so the flavor was not watered down which I liked. It was really sweet too. The one thing I didn’t like was that the portion was really small. I enjoyed the milk shake but for what I paid would have preferred a bigger cup.
