We split a flat white and a latte, our usual move at a coffee-focused cafe. The flat white was the stronger of the two, a higher coffee-to-milk ratio under a thin layer of velvety microfoam, so the espresso comes through clear. The latte was the milkier, gentler one, smoother and softer, with a neat leaf poured into the foam. Both were nicely pulled, that careful latte art always a good sign.
The cream puff was the treat to share: a light, crisp choux shell dusted with icing sugar and scattered with crumble, split and oozing with a generous fill of cream. That contrast of the airy, slightly crunchy pastry against the cool, soft cream is exactly why a good cream puff is so satisfying.
A couple of well-made coffees and a pretty pastry to share, a relaxed wind-down. The pricing is on the higher side, but the coffee and the puff earned it.
Overall: 4.6 / 5. ๐๐๐ผ A bold flat white, a smooth latte and a cream-oozing choux puff. Would re-visit.
