I recently visited this new cafe next to my office with my husband on a Friday morning, excited to try it out. The space is beautiful, bright, and inviting. We ordered a matcha latte, green juice, and the spicy crab toast.
As someone who regularly drinks matcha, I noticed right away that the latte was very light in color and resembled a vanilla latte more than matcha. I mentioned it to the woman behind the counter, who I later learned is the owner, Nicole. She explained they use one scoop of matcha according to their recipe. Unfortunately, the drink tasted more like milk with little to no matcha flavor. Nicole didn't offer to adjust the drink at the time, which was a bit disappointing, especially for a new cafe still finding its footing. I ended up requesting a different drink later on.
That said, the green juice was great, and the spicy crab toast was delicious. My only suggestion would be to focus on improving customer service, particularly when it comes to handling feedback. There was an opportunity to adjust the recipe or at least offer a solution, which can make a big difference for repeat customers.
Despite the hiccup with the matcha, I'm willing to give the cafe another try because the food was good and the space itself has a lot of potential (& black woman owned).
