| - I had the chance to experience both their haircutting services as well as their cafe section, as I was visiting with my partner and enjoyed the company of the barista and his drinks as I wait for my partner's haircut.
Cafe:
The ambiance was nice and cozy with a vintage style interior. Almost each piece of furniture was unique, so by choosing which corner I'd like to sit by, I got to create my own personal space for my time being there.
There was a buy one get one free promotion going on, but it only applied to their yuzu mint slush and avocado espresso slush - which I got both. Apparently the barista tends to experiment with his recipes, so the flavours were unique and finely made. The yuzu mint was sweet and refreshing with bits of grind yuzu fruit; great for the hot summer now but as the slush melted it began to taste slightly too sugary for me, something that resembles the Asian sweet drinks you get in a bottle. So you have to finish it quick!
My personal preference was the avocado espresso. I never thought the two would compliment each other so well but it did! The avocado added an extra layer of sweetness, richness, and creaminess - that is distinctly different from adding cream. If you are an avocado lover like me, I would definitely recommend this drink :)
The barista is very friendly and knowledgeable about coffee - go say hi to him and he'll make great conversation with you!
Haircut:
So my partner is the one that got the haircut, and I'm writing this from my perspective of his cut. Personally I think it's a pretty good deal for guys as it is $20-25 - apparently the store's intention was to provide quick cuts alongside with providing a cafe space. The hairstylist was young and friendly - but may need some time refining the details of her cuts. On certain areas of the cut I find it a bit choppy and lacking flow. Regardless, for a men's cut I would keep recommending my partner to go - his hair just grows way too quick for more expensive cuts!
