The Lobby Of Simple Kaffa | Hotel V

Knowing that I do not function until coffee has been had, a friend had highly recommended this cafe. Also, discovering that Simple Kaffa is home to the 2016 World Barista Champion - we had to investigate. I've learned that the Taiwanese like their coffee either black or with quite a lot of milk - which was strange to me because my large flat white had only 1.5 shots in it 😩 and I had to ask for an extra shot - but once I did, it was very good. The house blend (aka Seasonal Blend) was very nice - I even bought a bag of beans to bring back.

A slight indulgence was trying the filter of the 2016 winning beans (Panama Piedra Jurutunga Geisha). The most expensive coffee of my life (something like S$23) but you could very clearly identify the delicious tasting notes of tropical fruit, strawberry and Fuji apple come through - even for a noob like me.

Side note: I didn't get to try it this time round, but apparently the matcha Swiss roll is incredible.

😱
.
Coffee that tastes like beer, but without the alcohol content, and it actually tastes really good!
.
The carbonated coffee really helps to spread the fruitiness so the coffee aroma permeates your entire mouth ☁️ I WILL BE BACK ❤️.
.
皺皺 HONEY CAKE: The name (wrinkly) is so cute and describes it so aptly! The cake was soft and fragrant - what's not to like? Perfect pair with the coffee!
.
DEBORAH GEISHA COFFEE: It was good coffee, but ordinary next to the beer coffee.
.
Coffee connoisseurs might disagree with me, but for the average coffee drinker, the beer coffee is definitely a more fun and memorable drink. 🍻.
