I’ve been wanting to come here for some time as their instagram makes their drinks look so pretty. The sign outside states that you can get 10% off if you show a parking receipt, but we were informed after showing her ours, that the discount is for Rutgers students. We ordered two specialty lattes to stay—the harazi and the saffron, along with a spinach borek. We found seats to stay, and waited for quite a while, while our food and drinks were being prepared. When they finally came out, I was disappointed. The borek was on a plate, but the drinks were in disposable cups. The cups are quite pretty, but still. My saffron latte was supposed to have both saffron and harazi spices, but it just tasted like warm milk. Though there were pieces of saffron in it. Trying my partner’s coffee, the haraz latte, it tasted of the spice—cinnamon, cardamom, etc., but it was much too cold. I heard another patron also remarking that her hot latte was cold. While waiting for our drinks, I noticed that one of the employees preparing a matcha drink, wasn’t exactly hygienic with her coughing. Maybe the staff needs to be trained better on their techniques, because it’s too much to be paying $24 for coffees and a pastry that are subpar.
