Went in on a cold windy day, could be any day here I suppose, I was reading the signs, first time in, and the syrups were what I believed to be paired. So vanilla and hazelnut then a wee space and the other flavours were there. Turns out that even though the syrups are individually flavoured that everyone written would make a fantastic combo.
