Oracle Coffee — Restaurant in Kaohsiung

There are bougie places, and there are pretentious places. This is the pretentious type.

Came here because I needed a single origin pourover coffee. Well, to sit down they have a minimum order per person. That includes my 4 yr old toddler, and the store is not full.

They have no bathroom and told us to use the one in the 全聯 supermarket around the corner. Well we have a toddler that needed to go, and guess what, the toilet is the old disgusting squatting type. What kind of sit down coffee place doesn't have a bathroom?

And they want us to return the cups and utensils when we finish.

To be fair, the coffee was good. But the size is too small, and the serving cup has a protuding slot at the bottom that makes finishing your drink difficult. I suggest trying the other pourover coffee around...

Excellent coffee

The drink was a smoked cold brew with cream. I forgot the real name but not only was it a great presentation, it tasted amazing and perfect balance between sour, bitterness and sweetness with a smoky touch. I would come here just for this drink.

The waffle croissant was only average. It was actually difficult to eat since they serve it on a metal plate and they have metal tables. There was no friction between the two surfaces and the plate was sliding around.

Prosciutto Egg Salad with Waffle Croissant: 6.5/10 -Egg salad was very bland

Smoked Cream Cold Brew:...

This is a cafe clearly designed for Instagram photos and not much else. There was only one other customer in the cafe yet two uncomplicated coffees took 10 min to arrive. The coffees did taste nice when they came.

The food was simply not good, and prepared by the barista - maybe not where his talents lie. It was aesthetically pleasing but lacking in flavour. I think if you can't have a kitchen with separate staff to cook food then don't offer it; this place would do well as a coffee-only venue, or with a few simple cakes, rather than food puporting...
