“ Shout-out to the amazing barista at the till last June 1, 2025 at 1740H! I stopped by while waiting for my train and asked for a pretty complicated drink—something I had once in Japan and have been dreaming about ever since. I found the recipe and thought I’d try my luck by asking if they could make it. To my surprise, not only did she say yes, but she made it perfectly—my Matcha White Chocolate just the way I remembered it. Rich, smooth, and absolutely delicious. It honestly made my day. Thank you for being so kind, patient, and talented. I enjoyed every single sip! ”
