Too sweet by half

Wanted to try out the new maple syrup beverage on promotion for a mid-morning snack and chat - had my wake-up dose of caffeine already so went for a chocolate instead. The matcha yuzi tart looked tempting and we decided to forego calories for once. Turned out we didn't have the sweet tooth for these; the iced maple syrup chocolate was really a letdown as the chocolate wasn't rich enough and adding ice further diluted its taste. Imagine adding treacle to that wishy-washy cup of chocolate. The frozen chocolate chillino my friend ordered was a way safer choice. As for the matcha yuzi tart, though the matcha cream served decorative purposes, the amount was excessive and the taste too sweet. The yuzi - in form of sugared fruit inside the tart - was completely overpowered in terms of flavour and one may have called this a "matcha cream tart" instead. The tart crust was soggy too. At $54 per head, we found the food unexpectedly suboptimal for a chain coffee shop.
