matcha with a view
ending off the year sipping matcha with a gorgeous view ☀️
tucked away in a little corner in clarke quay, this cafe/hair salon is like a quiet getaway from the hustle and bustle of life. it's minimal and clean, with a huge window offers a gorgeous view of the street down below! I had the best time sitting there with my matcha and enjoying the view.
their matcha was highly raved some time back, and I can see why! it's rich and smooth, full-bodied and earthy. it's well balanced, not too bitter, and blends well with oat milk. I unfortunately cannot remember which grade of matcha I got (it was either hatsumukashi or kyoumukashi), but this is easily one of my top 3 matcha spots! it's really everything you could ask for in a matcha latte, and somehow drinking it in the coziness of the cafe just makes it so much better 🥹
