Reviews
- Chase_14What drew me to this place was honestly the bean quality and how creative the drinks are. The dirty is seriously so good — that sweet milk underneath with the slightly tangy espresso on top blends really well together. Definitely sip it slow so you can actually taste all the layers. The osmanthus latte was a bit too sweet for me, but if you like something lighter the soda americano is worth a try. Oh and the fried egg shaped latte is super photogenic, just heads up it gets pretty packed on weekends which kinda kills the vibe. The staff is super friendly too, the guys at the bar always greet you with a big smile. One thing though — the pistachio dirty sells out fast, so get there early. If you're watching your budget, a coffee plus the eggs benedict runs about 100 per person, which is on the higher end for hutong coffee, but honestly the quality makes it worth it.
