Dog Friendly!
We stopped by a cozy coffee shop, located in Fullerton, CA called MADE Coffee. Known for being a dog-friendly location, we looked forward to exploring this friendly place and their unique drinks. This location contains high ratings online; however, this location did not meet our expectations.
Hot Cereal Latte (w/ oat milk)
This drink was recommended by the barista and recognized as a crowd favorite. Inspired by Honey Oat Cheerios, this latte tasted like sweet cereal milk rather than a balanced blend of coffee. The desired coffee flavor wasn't very apparent and the drink tasted watery. In our experience, it was almost like drinking warm cereal milk rather than a latte.
Iced Pistachio Latte (w/ oat milk)
We were really excited about this one since we are big on pistachio lattes. This had a heavy flavor on the milk rather than the mixed flavors of pistachio or coffee. Unfortunately on both lattes, the espresso wasn't the main flavor, and for this drink, the pistachio flavor simply wasn't there.
Pastries - Caffeinated Kitchen Doughnuts
We tried the Strawberry Sprinkle Doughnut and it was a nice little treat. Sweet and soft. Can't go wrong with these doughnuts.
Maybe we caught them on an off day, or it could have been the drinks we chose, and we don't want to accuse the barista. Either way, we were excited about this location but left a bit disappointed. But highlights of MADE would be the friendly atmosphere and fun doughnut options, and a great environment to bring your dog. We're open to giving it another shot in the future and will explore different drinks next time.
