The Activist — Restaurant in Whau

My friend had ordered a single shot in her flat white but I made sure mine was a double. I asked if mine was a single, he said no. I said it doesn’t even taste like coffee and he walked away.

Never gong back there again… well not for coffee… but I doubt I will be able to resist returning to buy an almond croissant as it was the best I...
