So it really does depend on whoās working on what day. Iāve mixed reviews and for some reason whenever I ask for it Childs temperature (like today) I was given an eye roll and told Iād have to sacrifice something. What I have no idea as this was mumbled to me!
The lavender matcha latte scolded my tongue and the roof of my mouth. It was unbelievably hot! This just isnāt okay especially after I asked for a childās temperature.

Shame as I like Starbucks but Iām afraid itās Cafe Destino again for me this morning - coffee is good and they are always very...

The food and drink on offer is exceptional given the small size of the shop, and everything is made to a high standard. Particular shoutout to the two women who typically work on a weekday morning who are great! Would certainly recommend this shop over the others on offer in...
