I should have known. My mind was telling me it wouldn't work. The menu consisted of pages of regional coffees with a small line on one page that said 'latte $40'.
The options explained seemed sensible. $40 for the house coffee or any choice of base +$5 for milk. I chose Rwandan as I've hd before elsewhere and I liked the taste.
And then I waited...and waited...for an eternity. I was the only customer waiting.
What arrived defied belief. A pale, insipid bowl of froth with an incredibly sweet, saccharin and synthetic taste. It was also hotter than the sun. In fact hotter than the hottest sun. After a couple of sips I had to complain. What milk had they used!
Anyway, it was something I've never heard of called 'creamer concentrate'. A quick google came back with a product who's primary ingredient is...sugar! Basically it was coffee creamer heated up. So this went back and I asked for a replacement. This was made with skimmed 'Normal' milk.
Well, when it eventually arrived. By now I've been there 30 minutes. Still no sign. Still the only customer.
I nearly laughed when I saw what then came out. With a head about 2 inches over the top of the cup was the most pathetic excuse for a latte I've ever seen. I even foolishly dipped in a spoon to see if there was beauty behind the beast. Alas it was as poor as it looked.
So I left. Out of sheer embarrassment I left them the $40 and said my goodbyes. Never to return.
And if you're reading this and experienced the same - you were warned.
1 star due to the manager at least trying to help.
