About

Kumquat Coffee HLP's matcha is often described as consistently delicious. Many note the quality across their lattes is super consistent and always tasty, though some find it too sweet or bitter. The iced matcha latte (about $8) is a common order, with oat milk being preferred by many. Guests appreciate the Japanese-inspired menu items like Jeju matcha and shaken green plum tea. However, others report that certain drinks can be overpriced or too sweet for their liking. Additionally, some find pastries dry or overcooked, while the drinks and coffee are generally well-received but can be inconsistent in taste and preparation. The atmosphere is frequently noted as mixed, with a friendly greeting upon entry and aesthetic appeal of the cafe, though limited seating and a cold interior can detract from the experience. Service quality is described as generally fast but not always friendly, particularly during busy periods when staff can be rude.
