Clearly ambitious in scope for coffee. Surely injustice to write a review after a single visit for coffee but who knows when I'll be passing through again so take this review as a reflex response.
It took ten minutes for the sole staff member to acknowledge our presence and another fifteen minutes to take our order at the counter. Didn't get any options to customize the Maple Walnut Latte. Should've realized that my understanding of Turkish was different from that of the establishment when I was offered the drink in "mega" sizes. I wanted basic Turkish coffee. I received finely ground (a la Jordanian) coffee with cardamon which I would never adulterate in my coffee. I reserve cardamon (green and black) for fine cooking. There was no Sabaya so I had to settle for Khaliat Alnahl where the dough was baked at the wrong temperature. The Almond Croissant was sub-standard too given the alternative places available in the vicinity to try one.
There are abundant tables with assorted seating including upholstered ones if one is not prepared for a long session on wooden seats. Very inviting to spend time here given that the caffeine dose and variety are well above average. Well worth a visit or more (ignoring my first time blues).
The entrance is guarded by tables/chairs on the sidewalk blocking access from the pavement. Gotta step on the grass to enter the store. Clearly damages the impression about management for several different reasons - token compliance with municipal regulations, total disdain for "patrons" who do not want secondary inhalation, ADA non-compliance, disregard for litter by more energetic patrons, etc.
Finally, Shenzhen strikes again. I've posted two pictures of the pager. Please don't share these with your...
