Menu Review
I ordered an Americano and a Cafe Latte. The Americano had a moderate acidity and was pleasant to drink. The Cafe Latte was 5,000 KRW, and the combination of smooth milk and coffee was quite good.
The scone I ordered was plain and had a nice, simple flavor. It was slightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, making it a good accompaniment to coffee.
