3/2 Fencible Drive,

Howick,

Auckland 1025

Large Flat White: $4.50

This is a small place next to the boutique Monterery Cinemas. It seems very modern, but I wonder how much morning coffee business it gets?

Coffee: A good coffee that half holds its taste. It gives the good bang for the buck, but is very hot, and is difficult to drink in a timely fashion to maintain the taste. (4/5)

Milk: Good milk, a very velvet smooth milk in here, but it doesn’t add to the overall product. (4.5/5)

Presentation: A fairly standard Allpress white lid brown cup combo, but the cup is a bit too full, so I can see foam on the lid. For some reason, a little off-putting. (2.5/3)

Verdict: It’s OK. Tastes great for the first 5 minutes then goes downhill fast.   

Overall rating: 11/13. A good coffee that is let down by presentation issues and being too hot to enjoy.
