I have to say I’m disappointed. The website boasts some spectacular experience but it leaves much to be desired so far. But I walked in for a take-out beverage, so I can’t say what dining in is like.
The interior is really art-deco and has so much promise! But it’s clearly worn down and there hasn’t been much upkeep. The floor design is all cracked and it’s now unattractive. The dark atmosphere also makes the worn down aspects look dingier than usual. But hey, maybe with a good Reno it could look as nice as the company photos??
Finally, I tried an iced matcha latte and it wasn’t anything special. Kind of bitter, like I was expected to put my own sugar into it. But I couldn’t because it was iced. I honestly have made more enjoyable matcha lattes at home.. and they didn’t cost $8!! Yes, $8!!
Maybe this place is better with actual coffee, maybe I’ll try it one day. For now, I think I’ll stick to my usual spots.
