The ratio of foam to milk is a little off in the cappuccino ($5) but the drink has a good, strong and slightly bitter taste to the coffee. Hojicha latte ($5.50) has a great nutty finish! Also tried the iced latte ($5) on another occasion - very smooth and easily my favourite here.
Expected much much more from this specialty shop - the latte ($5) was far too milky, overwhelming the coffee.
An unexpected find!! The coffee here is superb. Their beans are supplied by 2 degrees north, with a choice between Brazilian and Ethiopian. Opted for the darker roast and both drinks had a clean strong flavour. Wished the flat white ($5) came a little hotter but otherwise it was massive and very well rounded! Iced black ($5.50) is pricey but a popular choice.
Revelry used to be my go-to joint for quality coffee! They use a double ristretto for each cup, rather than a single espresso shot. My most recent flat white ($5) fell a little short of expectations - it was a little too acidic and thin.
Be prepared to wait twenty minutes to enter the shop! The queue is very well managed and staff are friendly. Unfortunately, I don’t quite see the appeal. Whilst creamy, the ice cream is far too sweet and artificial tasting. Opted for single scoops ($5) of yam and black sesame - their signatures would probably fare better but I doubt I’d be heading back any time soon!
Ordered a double scoop ($7.60 + $1 per premium flavour) on a waffle bowl ($1) - didn’t like these flavours as much. The houjicha was a tad too sweet, albeit smokey and rich. The dark forest tasted like Meiji chocolate milk with some bites of chocolate cake and pieces of cherries - no hint of brandy at all and certainly not worth the premium!
Never quite liked the Salted Caramel at Thomson, but decided to give this new outlet a try. Was very very pleasantly surprised at how decadent their ice cream is now! Opted for a double scoop ($7.60 + $1 per premium flavour) on a waffle bowl ($1). The rum & raisin packs the heat of alcohol but rounds it off nicely with juicy sweetness. The pistachio is rich and creamy, with large chunks of nuts folded within!
Paired the new lychee basil sorbet with my all-time favourite coconut ($7 + $0.50 for cone)! Tastes like your childhood lychee jelly on first impression, but the sorbet is refreshing and I liked the chewy bits of lychee inside.
Tried the yuzu gin ($3.80 + $0.50 for cone) during an earlier visit and found it sorely lacking - tasted like juice concentrate with its sticky one-dimensional sweetness and nary a hint of alcohol. Also a very measly-sized scoop!
Want very much to assure that Geometry is as good even after changing hands but I’d be hard pressed to say so. I’ve found the ice cream lacking after a few trips - the scoops are smaller, the texture inconsistent, the flavour flatter. Opted for a double scoop ($5.50 + $0.70 per premium flavour) of rum & raisin and goma.
First time trying the coffee here and I’m really impressed with how well frothed the milk is! The cappuccino ($4.50) is smooth and fragrant. Would have liked the drink to be serve hotter!
The cup of Magic ($5.20++) here was thinner than most other renditions I’ve tried - their double shot came with as much water. The roast is acidic and a tad bitter.. probably better when paired with their sweet treats!
