Had the Dalgona Cafe Latte, didn’t really know what to expect but I liked it anyway. Too bad the Dalgona-thingy’s on top don’t blend in with the coffee, but the coffee itself was good already so it was fine :)

Hands down best coffee in the area. Price is fair and for the quality and size you get compared to the other over priced coffee in the area. The coffee Late has an aroma note that I have not tasted before and is a mist try.
