While waiting for my coffee, I observed the meticulous drink-making process at the café. It seems that everything is carefully measured and weighed, ensuring a consistent taste. Although it requires a lot of effort, the payoff is delicious and reliable flavors that keep customers like me coming back for more. After savoring their coffee and scuffins, returning to 7-Eleven coffee is going to be quite difficult! One thing to note, which I forgot to mention in my earlier reviews, is that parking can be a bit tricky depending on the day and time you visit. While there may be parking available in the complex, I haven’t checked it out myself, as I suspect it could be limited due to the numerous shops in the Salt Kakaako area.

Got the black sesame and kinako latte. Kinako was kind of hard to spot flavor wise on the palette, but the sesame was so good. Staff was also v friendly. Try this place out if you love these flavors.

Surprised to find a single origin here, most cafes I find have blends. I’ve had a decent amount of Costa Rica coffees, but this one tasted a little different. I normally drink coffee black and this was stronger/little more bitter than typical. Dry aftertaste. For me, the flavor profile includes nutty and little bit of spices. Barista was super friendly at 7:30 in the morning, much appreciated.

My partner goes there when I'm at work a ton which is adorable. I absolutely love their Gelato coffee drink. I forget what it's called but it's amazing and there's no need for sugar or creamer with itFood: 5/5
