The ube and orange chiffon lattes!!!💜🧡
Came on Halloween afternoon and ordered the ube and orange chiffon lattes. They are $6-7 each which I'd say is standard pricing. Total was $15 for two 12oz lattes. FYI, if you're looking to take pics get the 12oz, they only serve the 12oz in the mug, the other sizes are in the to go cups.
We ordered the ube Spanish latte and orange chiffon latte. They came out in these beautiful yellow mugs, aesthetic wise it was pretty with the heart design especially for the ube one. The orange chiffon latte is described on the menu as having an orange rose honey with house cream topped with coriander. I didn't taste the rose nor the coriander, best way to describe it is almost like an orange creamsicle in a cup which is not a bad thing but I would have liked to taste a little rose which would have paired well with the citrus! I did like that they topped off the orange chiffon latte with actual orange zest, gives it a nice aroma and makes it even more enjoyable to sip on and is such a great touch!
Overall, I could definitely taste the ube and the orange, the flavors were subtle and not overwhelming which I truly enjoyed! I dislike when cafes over do it with syrups and artificial flavors so I appreciated that both were not overly sweet. I'm not a huge coffee fan (tea connoisseur) but I definitely enjoyed both, they are so creamy and delicious!
The space is small, not much seating inside but it is cozy.
I highly recommend these two but if you have to get one I'd try the orange chiffon!
I did read other reviews about the customer service lacking and being rude but this was not our experience they were friendly, professional, and polite.
I would have given more stars but there's one thing I think could be improved upon so I didnt. Just some feedback/suggestion for management, it would be nice if they could bring our drinks to the table. After ordering, we had to stand near the register waiting for them to make the drinks, when we would have preferred to sit down, chat, and relax while they are making it. But we had to stand there waiting, walk to the counter, grab the drinks, and then sit down. There aren't many people inside since there isn't much seating available (small space) so it would add a nice touch if they could bring the drinks to the table after we order. It would really make a huge difference in the ambiance and dine in experience.
They have so many drink options which is fun, there's something for everyone, and I'll definitely be back to try other lattes.
UPDATED review:
Came back a second time, tried the butterfly pea and the pumpkin spice lattes, 12oz for each came out to $15 with tax and tip included. The butterfly pea was good not too strong but it was barely lukewarm which was odd since the pumpkin spice latte was very warm, so I had to reduce my rating to 3 star for the food since I didn't order it iced I expect it to be warm. Next time I'll speak up if it's not warm enough but flavor wise it was good, subtle flavor of ube not too overwhelming and the butterfly pea flavor was subtle as well. The pumpkin spice had strong taste of pumpkin as expected and it was good too! The aesthetic wasn't there like the first time when I visited they didn't do any special design with the cream topping. Overall, I still like the first two lattes, ube and orange chiffon the best so far.
