I was venturing the cafe apartment from the top floor and was thinking of getting a drink here. As I descended to the lower floors I saw this shop and it looked pretty interesting selling matcha so I decided to check it out. The shop was quiet there were only 2 other customers. I found a place to sit by the window, and then I stood up and went to the counter to order a drink. Ordered the match strawberry and then sat down and waited for the drink. The air conditioning seemed to be on but the longer I sat the hotter I became and I started sweating. Then I realized the other 2 customers were already drinking how come my order took so long? I waited, I checked the time I ordered the drink on the receipt and the time I got the drink it actually took 25 minutes! Service was awfully slow. Finally it was served and had a look and the presentation was pretty good. The size of the cup actually looked pretty big I thought it was quite value for money. Only when I was drinking later I realized there was actually this big round ice which took up almost the entire circumference of the cup. The matcha strawberry did taste pretty good but the overall experience was not enjoyable due to the heat, the slow service and being misled by the portion of the drink.
