Very cute little cafe, I haven’t seen any other cafes in Essen that serve strawberry matcha so I was very excited, although it’s not the best matcha but maybe that’s because I chose coconut milk. Desserts were amazing! My friend got a regular Matcha latte with regular milk but it was tooo milky didn’t taste too much like Matcha. Definitely going again for the desserts n maybe a different milk choice this time :)
