On my way to a long-awaited facial at Muka Beauty, I finally made it to White Rose Cafe, a trendy spot I'd been wanting to try for ages. While the MLK Monday crowd meant the cafe wasn't its usual bustling self, it gave me a chance to appreciate the unique atmosphere.
The coffee, a bon bon latte, was on the familiar side - think classic espresso with a touch of condensed milk sweetness. Not a mind-blowing revelation, but certainly a comforting caffeine kick before my pampering session.
But the real star of the show was the vibe. While I expected hipster baristas and sleek chrome, White Rose surprised me with its warm, industrial-chic aesthetic. Exposed walls, vintage accents, and plenty of greenery created a cozy yet stylish haven. Plus, the walk to the restroom (always a cafe highlight, right?) took me past their cool tattoo setups. I peeked at some flash art - a mix of traditional American styles and modern Miami-inspired pieces - and left feeling even more intrigued by this multi-faceted spot.
Did the coffee fuel my pre-facial glow? Maybe a little! But let's be honest, the anticipation of a relaxing facial was probably the real radiance booster.
Overall, White Rose Cafe was a delightful pre-pampering pitstop. While the coffee didn't steal the show, the unique atmosphere and intriguing tattoo setups left me wanting to explore more.
