The BEST matcha drink I’ve had in Adelaide- hands down!!!! The most amazing hidden, little, delightful sweet treat of a cafe! I wanted all the things on the menu and the person behind the bar helped me decide what would work well with an alternative milk type, I had also said I loved Rose so they suggested putting rose water into the matcha alongside raspberry jam, offered to make it sweeter because their matcha is otherwise pure and not sweet. The BEST matcha drink I’ve had in Adelaide- hands down!!!! She also gave me a little salted raspberry macaroon on top which I hadn’t asked for, but heck, the best macaroon I’ve ever had as well! What an amazing experience! You do get what you pay for here.. there is a time and a place for a less expensive, traditional coffee and this place is not it.
My sister had one of the most bizarre and unprofessional experiences at this place. She walked in, politely asked if they had a menu, and got a blunt “no.” When she asked what matcha drinks they had, the girl working there literally told her to check their TikTok. That was the “menu.” No attempt to help, no explanation, just go scroll social media and figure it out yourself, apparently. Even after asking again what they actually had available right now, the responses were vague and lazy. So my sister had to just make up her own drink. The girl told her the matcha would be bitter without sweetener, but didn’t offer a single suggestion or option. No list of milks, no “would you like it iced or hot?”—nothing. Just vibes and attitude. She asked for honey, and after dumping it in, the girl goes “looks good??” while handing her a drink that looked like green pond water. Oxidized, ugly, and honestly gross-looking. If that’s what they think looks good, I don’t want to know what their bad drinks look like. This place seriously needs to rethink how they treat customers. It’s giving zero effort, zero care, and way too much ego for a cafe that can’t even be bothered to have a menu…
