The Coffee Club, Highland Park

Regular Flat White: $5.20 (Were the beans made of gold? The most expensive ‘medium’ coffee to date)

The coffee club strikes a black and white figure in many parts of Auckland and other major centres. Hopefully, a franchise that has “coffee” in its name will make good coffee.

Coffee: A good coffee, it gives a kick at first but fades very soon after. (4/5)

Milk: The milk is steamed very technically well, but lacks a punchy creaminess that I’d expect from a good one. (3.5/5)

Presentation: The cup is black and plastic. It’s also very hot to the touch – either they’ve made the flat white far too hot, or it is a poor conductor. (2/3)

Verdict: Looks like the coffee in the name is all talk. It’s also VERY on the nose to have to pay over 5 dollars for a MEDIUM coffee. It’s a shame I don’t deduct points for things like that.

Overall rating: 9.5/13. Go there for the food instead.
