Louisa Coffee (Guoco Midtown)

($5) finally tried their cookie for a while after trying their hot matcha latte previously. So it was quite bitter taste with hints of yuzu bits. It's dry aftertaste tbh but then it's not that bad standard.

(Iced - $5.70) I finally tried their drink at this new and latest cafe coming from Taiwan. I felt that their matcha taste was quite sweet (not much bitter taste) and milky texture. The matcha powder didn't absorbed well with milk and left on the bottom of the drink. Need to stir well when you drink for second time.

Was looking forward to having their Taro Pie but was unfortunately unavailable by late afternoon when I visited. Hence, I had Louisa Coffee’s Black Sesame Pie and Matcha Pie instead. Of the two Boston Cream Pies ($6.50/each), the latter fared better in my opinion as the matcha cream really tied the elements together and the surprising addition of crunchy crushed mixed nuts (I got almond and walnut) made it more fun texturally. Crowned with chantilly cream and ground matcha powder, the matcha chiffon-like sponge was lightly sweetened with subtle tea notes. None too cloying, the distinctive earthy matcha flavour was nice. On the other hand, the Black Sesame Pie was pleasantly nutty but lacked a little oomph (would be great if they replaced the chantilly cream with Goma flavoured cream).

The coffee is more of blend side as it is not very aromatic

Taiwan’s coffee chain, Louisa Coffee, is finally here in Singapore. There is a wide range of specialty coffee and tea beverages including freshly made sandwiches, bagels, wrapanini, tarts and Boston cream pies.
