Cafe 18

First let's be clear, the coffee was nice enough. Was I happy to sit down without a mask, so happy. Is it just a shopping center coffee spot, with no real charm, yep. Will I go back, yes. It does then put you in a bad frame of mind when the coffee lid is not on properly. The coffee then dribbled onto my nicer than normal clothes. I so wanted to yell grrrrr, lucky the coffee was nice enough.

Ordered a take away coffee and a bite to eat to start my day. Very unwelcoming, no smile or conversation. I had the first sip of my coffee and burnt off my tongue. It was BOILING. With the little tastebuds I had left, I tasted it again and it was disgusting. Clearly the milk had been burnt, there was too much water run through the espresso and although I had asked for sugar, there was definitely none. I work in the centre, so reached my shop kitchen and added more sugar once it had cooled down, and I kid you not, the watery espresso shot had actually separated from the milk. I tried to tough it up and stir through, but noticed actual lumps of burnt milk in the drink. Needless to say I poured the rest out. $5.50 down the drain. Only reason why I didn't give a 1 star rating, the food was half decent. Your barista needs lessons in making drinkable coffee.
