About
While some find the Kyoto latte a standout, enjoying its well-balanced taste and lack of bitterness, others describe it as extremely bitter with a horrible aftertaste. The matcha itself is noted to be either very bland or so clumpy that it makes customers feel sick. Additionally, guests appreciate the range of matcha options available but often complain about long queues during peak times. On-site services are generally praised for being professional and attentive, though some note that staff might be less enthusiastic near closing hours due to tourist crowds. The atmosphere is frequently described as clean and contemporary, making it a great spot for catching up with friends before events or enjoying a quiet coffee session. However, the lack of seating means it's primarily suited for takeaway orders. In terms of value, while prices are slightly higher, many guests find that the quality justifies the cost.", period.
