[CLOSED] Katasumi Koohii

Eeps the cake was really small and very average. It was bittersweet (as expected from the name), but tasted more like a brownie. The pear was crunchy and raw but we expected a poached pear. Didn’t feel that the $7 price tag was justified. Iced latte was not bad though - the coffee flavour was strong. Genmaicha tea was alright. The service here is great! They’re closing at the end of Nov tho, pay them a visit before they close :)

The bookshop they’re housed in is really beautiful and has nice stuff, I don’t think they’re closing but it’s a nice place to check out while waiting for a seat at the cafe! Tbh I enjoyed browsing in the bookstore more than having the food in the cafe :x

Strong nuttiness from the black sesame that’s balanced with the cream filling 🖤🤍

Like a Taiwanese cafe from a fairy tale, the quaint and idyllic interior of the place is relaxing.

Coffee wise, probably could have ordered something cooler, but their hand drip coffee ($6) was really not bad at all. Very forward fruity profile, complimented by a fragrant nutty finish.

This taste like any other fruit soda with yuzu peels. I would say go for their coffee or milk tea.

I really love this version of milk tea as the ratio of milk to tea is just right and it has a very light after taste. Brown sugar is usually provided but it doesn't make the coffee too sweet.

I love coming back here again and again despite their limited drinks and food menu simply because the cakes are seasonal and I am always excited to try what is new. While this roll cake is pretty expensive at 8 dollars, it was definitely money well spent as the light chocolate cream went really well with the strawberries.
