another day another good matcha
spotted this counter from the outside and realised it's actually KLARRA’s own cafe concept combined with their boutique. such a pretty, minimal setup 🤍
what i ordered: Iced Matcha Latte with honey cream ($10.50)
Honestly, this is one of the best matcha lattes I've had lately
The matcha itself is on a lighter, super smooth note so it doesn't have that heavy, overwhelming umami taste. I usually wouldn't mind a stronger umami punch but I actually love it this way because it pairs so well with the rich sweetness of the honey cream and the savory butter crumbs that come with it! so yummy!!
also, love that they serve the honey cream separate so you get to use the spoon to eat the crunchy crumbs or mix them in exactly how you want! If the drink needs a bit more sweetness, you can just grab the sugar syrup from the side counter to DIY it to your own liking!
such a perfect little hideout to unwind after work✨️

If you're a fan of matcha lattes but often find them too bitter or heavy, KLARRA Café offers a refreshing alternative that might just change your perspective. Their matcha latte emphasizes a lighter, smoother flavor profile that balances the natural umami taste without being overpowering. This makes it incredibly approachable for those who usually shy away from strong matcha drinks. What makes this café stand out is how they serve the drink with honey cream and savory butter crumbs separately. This allows you to customize every sip—whether you prefer to mix everything for a harmonious taste or enjoy the crunchy crumbs on their own for added texture. Plus, the added option of sugar syrup lets you control the sweetness, ensuring the drink suits your personal taste perfectly. I found this approach delightful; it feels like a little interactive experience rather than just ordering a typical coffee. The boutique-style minimalistic setup also adds to the relaxing vibe, making KLARRA Café a perfect spot to unwind after work or catch up with friends. If you appreciate matcha lattes that are smooth and subtly sweet, paired with unique textures like crunchy crumbs, this café is well worth a visit. Also, the thoughtful presentation and the ability to DIY your sweetness level show attention to detail that enhances the overall experience.
