Earlier today, I had the pleasure of bumping into Daniel, a barista who used to work at Maison Ikkoku, and is now at Dapper Coffee. It's been a very long time since he made me a cuppa, and I thought it was kind of him to treat me to this signature drink (thanks again Daniel! 🤗)
The "Earl Grey Yuan-Yang" ($8++) revealed itself to be deeply aromatic, which shouldn't surprise given that it's a concoction of single ristretto, bergamot oil-infused milk and lavender. It had the kind of thoughtful details I like as well: a single extra-large cube of ice and tiny purple petals to prettify. Nicely done, Dapper Coffee!
