What Customers Are Saying

“Our barista this time was lovely but the matcha itself was terrible. Not sure if it’s the syrup or the ratio of matcha to syrup to milk, but it was too concentrated and even shaking it to mix tasted terrible. Matcha, if not done right, really gets the “tastes like grass” effect so this was pretty bland…”
