so this review is based on the fact that I am not a huge coffee drinker.
The reason Im not a big coffee drinker is that bitter taste. Oooo it smells so good, but often times that bitter taste kills it for me. Most of the time I have to put a lot of sugar to off set that and I may as well be drinking coffee icecream or coffee candy.
However, the best coffee I have ever tasted was in Costa Rica! Simple Cafe con leche. That strong coffee taste with no bitterness and warm milk no fancy foam.
I thought I became a coffee drinker when I went there, thinking I will be drinking coffee from now on when I come back. Uhhh, no. Its not the same here unfortunately.
All of this to say - Im slowly trying to test out the coffee here based on reviews and add my own.
I like Te Aro's cafe Latte. Smooth - not bitter. It could do with a bit more stronger coffee taste. But I like the fact it is not bitter in the end and I can actually drink it without adding much sugar to it.
One thing I noted on the few occasions that I went there - no honey? Ive somehow acquired the taste of adding honey instead of sugar to my coffee. Supposively a more natural sugar. But oh well.
In this review I will also have to add my 2 cents to how their croissants are. As I have mentioned so far, nothing has compared to Cherry Bombs croissants.
Unfortunately Te Aros will be added to the list of those that cannot compare. A coworker of mine told me Te Aro has great croissants so I had to try - I always head for the Almond one.
Anyhow, my search goes on......
