When they first opened, I came to try their coffee and ice cream, and there was a long line at that time. This time, I visited on a weekend afternoon and there were hardly any people, so I decided to give it another try.

▪️Iced Coffee Latte 12oz $185
No sugar, selected a blend of beans. Initially, I wanted to order matcha, but the staff said it was sold out due to high demand recently (sad). I asked the staff about the differences between coffee, Spanish latte, and Kyoto latte, and they patiently explained. In the end, I chose this one, but I forgot to ask for less ice and found there were a lot of ice cubes. However, even when the ice melted completely, the coffee didn’t get watered down! At first, it wasn’t overwhelmingly strong, and I thought the balance was quite impressive.

Overall, even though I'm not a huge coffee fan, I still feel that a cup of takeaway coffee like this is a bit pricey, although it really tastes good. It’s a great spot at the base of Xiangshan for a cup after hiking (the air conditioning is strong). If there’s no queue, it’s worth a try; I remember the ice cream was quite good too.
