水哥咖啡

Water Brother Coffee is located in a lane of the Daan District, and it is a modern-style café. Perhaps because space is precious, the seating here is relatively small and a bit cramped, yet the business is still thriving. My visit this time was to add some new working cafés to my list while doing nomadic work, but evidently, this place did not make the cut.

As for drinks, I ordered a creamy cold brew coffee, which is a rare item among coffee beverages. The fermented taste of cold brew is deeper, which is also why many people are reluctant to try it; however, the whipped cream on top provided the perfect balance. A friend ordered a matcha lemon soda, which looked rich but had a perfectly balanced sweet and sour taste without bitterness, making it a delightful summer drink and a tasty matcha concoction.

In terms of food, we ordered a few items. First, the classic cinnamon roll, which was somewhat disappointing as the pastry was on the drier side. Although there was icing to help, it still wasn't enough to qualify as a good cinnamon roll. The egg salad sandwich, on the other hand, was well-seasoned and the bread was soft, tasting quite good. The portion was just right for a snack for me, but it might not be suitable for those with bigger appetites looking for something more filling.

Besides the regular coffee, drinks, desserts, and light meals, the menu even features some quite appealing coffee cocktails. Although the space is not as comfortable as one might have imagined and most customers seem to come primarily for chatting and socializing, in terms of the creativity and quality of the menu, it is actually quite impressive.
