Another day, another coffee joint with my sister. This time, it happened to have the same name as my favorite ice cream spot, so why not?
The shop itself was a lot bigger than I expected. Plenty of seats outside, a few in the front where you order, and a whole back area that looked like a bar lounge-- I guess that's what it is?... Aesthetically? They could do better back there. The front area and outside is cute though. My favorite part was the wall area with the sign that I took a photo of my drinks at.
Staff-- not the friendliest bunch really, but the girl that helped us did her job. We did have a little miscommunication mishap for my order but she took care of it. Granted, they did make me feel pretty awkward correcting the mistake but she got it done. The other two just stared at me and made me feel dumb... but, I'm glad I didn't just let it go and got what I originally wanted. I paid for it, and it's their job. Not trying to sound mean but people tend to hate doing what they're paid to do nowadays and I shouldn't feel bad having to ask for what I paid for done correctly.
It was between the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew or the Pumpkin Chai Latte for me and I asked her which would be better... I wanted sweet, but not too sweet... somehow, that lead to her putting me down for a plain, not-sweet-at-all latte.......... clearly, my two options were Pumpkin though, right? Idk...
Anyway, I got two drinks. I also got the Vietnamese coffee. My sister got two drinks as well, the Cinnamon Roll Latte and the Strawberry Fields. Once I did get my Pumpkin Chai, it was good. Not the best thing I've ever had but so much better than the plain, flavorless Latte. The Vietnamese coffee was okay, I've had better honestly... I didn't finish it. It wasn't strong, and it was very sweet. As for my sister's drinks, I can't speak for her on the Strawberry Fields, but I did take a sip of the Cinnamon Roll drink-- eesh, waaay too sweet! Definitely tasted like a Cinnamon Roll though... but I'd rather take that sweetness from an actual Cinnamon Roll.
All in all, I wouldn't be in a hurry to go back here but if my sister suggested it again on my next visit, I wouldn't completely write them off. I'd give it another go. I'm sorry, I just can't put my rating up there until they've proven otherwise.
