| - I have to say, I need a more relaxed atmosphere to enjoy the experience that third wave coffee has to offer. From the moment we walked into the small, neat cafe, someone was essentially screaming at us - friendly! but at an inappropriate volume nonetheless. Before we had a chance to look at the menu, another shout to come closer. And sure enough, before we stepped up to place our orders, one more shout (who knows about what this time). I'm sure picking your own beans is an ego boost to some (or truly enjoyable, of course), but I come to third wave coffee shops for a curated experience; someone who knows better than me should have already picked out the perfect, rich, delectable beans for me to enjoy the ideal coffee beverage of my choice. I don't know, I'm just not into the type of service so perky, boisterous and loud that it makes you feel tired.
The coffee itself was mostly fine, but nothing to get excited about. I found it a little flat, to be honest. There was no art on my latte, just the same old flower you can get anywhere. Probably wouldn't bother returning, save the very small chance I'm in the area again and in need of a coffee because literally anything is better than Starbucks.
