A very well known coffee spot in town. Many friends had visited this place and gave me very good comments about them. Decided to stop by here for a post dinner coffee with friends. First impression of the cafe is simple. Simple decoration is sufficient to make this place looks bright, spacious and cozy. I especially love "Know Your Drink" wall that educates customers on what sort of coffee they would prefer. Definitely a good way to educate coffee newbies. (Glad I've passed that stage :P)
I had my usual Flat White (you should know me by now that I am a big Flat White fan) and after the first few sip, I didn't want it anymore. The taste is strange and am just not sure what sort of bean / roast it is. To be honest, it was terrible. It started off bitter then turn sour. Coffee just doesn't seem coffee. It was a definite thumbs down for me.
My friends that had the Cappuccino and Affogato didn't really enjoy theirs either even though the Cappuccino tasted better than my Flat White. Perhaps is the cocoa powder on top of the foam that adds the taste to it and the vanilla ice that gave the flavor a balance to the Affogato.
We also had Black Forest and Lemon Cake to go with our coffee. This is another disappointment for us. Both cakes were dry. It seems like a few days old. To pay about RM12 per slice for that kinda quality of cake, is indeed a rip off and hence, another ultimate thumbs down for me.
Sorry to say that this particular Coffee Stain is a big no-no to me but I will give the outlet in Farenheit88 another chance as friends says that it is much better there. Looks like there will be another review on Coffee Stain soon. So stay tuned!
