Haagan Dazs and illy
2007-03-12 4 views
I tried Epoch's illy, as well as Hagaan Dazs'. Epoch does an okay job, not greatly disappointed. Hagaan Dazs do not, I repeat, DO NOT know what the hell is going on. What a waste of coffee beans!

And if anyone claims to be one, it is a gross insult to the designation of "Barista". Anyway, illy is being poorly represented in HK. Just look at

This is the agent for illy in HK. What a joke! Just from a quick glance, you can tell 1) they do not have any artistic sense, 2) they did not spend much money on designing the site, probably a mom and pop op. from a basement <- so to speak.

I have heard, the official illy bar in Tokyo, Japan is also not up to par.
