I visited Almond Butterfly this weekend on my search for a great cupcake place and was pleasantly surprised at how cozy and warm this small cafe was. There is a huge selection of baked goods that they seem to bring fresh from their ovens? I had a cinnamon chai cupcake and a cup of earl gray.
The cinnamon chai cupcake was kind of strange, on first bite it's quite pleasant though you definitely taste more cinnamon than chai. The cake itself is quite dense and not as light as I would prefer my cupcakes to be but it was still good. The strangest part of the cupcake was that it seemed to get saltier with every bite, the icing is really salty! I found it a little unpleasant and kind of regretted not getting a chocolate one or a vanilla one. Overall a 3.5/5 star cupcake, though I will definitely try more of their cupcakes and probably their other baked goods to give a better/more accurate review.
Their tea was fine, though my main problem with it is the fact that their insulating sleeves on their take away cups dont seem to insulate against the heat at all. I found myself shifting my grip from finger to finger as they would start burning.
Definitely okay as far as everything goes, I'm excited to go back to try their savory baked goods and other cupcakes as well as their coffee but until then only 3 stars can be given based on what was sampled.
