Topped with fresh strawberry slices that added a tangy note, adding another dimension of flavour to the mild , lingering bitter undertone and earthy notes of the smooth, creamy luscious green tea flavoured mascarpone cream cheese. That being said, the characteristic earthy, umami flavour of green tea was lacking greatly here, distinct but mild, not for the hardcore matchaholics. The thin base layer of ladyfinger biscuit would have been better with a greater infusion of coffee, whereby the one here seems to be have been a touch-and-go dip into the caffeine pool .

2️⃣Classic Kingsize Tiramisu [8000 won ~> $9.60]
Dusted with coco powder that added a bittersweet flavour profile to the smooth, creamy and luscious mascarpone cream cheese! 💕 The aroma of coffee was much more prominent here, coupled with the lingering bitter undertone that served as a perfect counterbalance to the divine, decadent sweet treat. Would have been even better if there was a higher ratio of cake : cream, since the tiramisu here comprises of 90% mascarpone cream cheese and a mere 10% of ladyfinger biscuit base .

3️⃣ Iced green tea latte [6500 won ~> $7.80]
Requested for no syrup but... it was still sweet with barely any matcha flavour. Perhaps it’s a Korea “custom” here to serve sweet & milky green tea lattes, judging from my previous experiences at other cafes (not specialized in matcha) as well! 😅 If you are one who’s into matcha & green tea, it’s highly advisable to give this a miss and just head for the tiramisu, which is much more distinct in matcha flavour. //
On a side note, the ambience and aesthetics of this cafe is 💯, perfect for chilling over a cuppa or taking your OOTD shots! 📸 .
