I try to go jogging at the Sun Yat Sen Memorial Park as often as possible, and this place is right under the bridge that you must cross to get to the park, so ever since I spotted it, I have been waiting to try it with my friend J. who sometimes jogs with me.

Environment/Decor & Hygiene :As you approach the entrance, you will see many faces welcoming you. Don't worry if you don't know much about the different types of coffee drinks, because there is a diagram on the wall that clearly dissects each drink for you. I think the combination of a high ceiling, a wide open counter and mellow lighting gives the cafe a really welcoming and relaxing vibe. This place looked very clean too, which added to the comfort of the environment. This place is also very kid-friendly as there is sort of a kid area for kids to hang out. If you have little ones to tend to, this spacious cafe would give you plenty of room to do so.
This cafe also has a lot of interesting art pieces for one to admire. I read inside that this graffiti type of art all over th restaurant was by an artist Mr. Mena. The faces at the door were part of his work, and I especially liked the 4 portraits of the world leaders on the wall. Can you name all of them?
Service/ Taste/ Value & Hygiene:The cafe definitely is quite unique, as it is one of the rare ones that offer almond milk as an alternative to diary. When my friend and I went to order, the barista asked if he could recommend anything to us. It was then that he told us they had 2 winter specials, which were their gingerbread latte and orange hot chocolate. My friend got persuaded and tried their Orange Hot Chocolate ($40) and I had a Flat White ($30). I had intended to order my flat white with almond milk, but the barista made it sound like only people with dietary needs would want to do that, which completely shot down my idea so I stuck with regular milk. My flat white was okay, it tasted more like a latte to me because it wasn't very strong and I struggled to taste the coffee. However, at least it wasn't acidic, which I really don't like.
Then, I had a sip of my friend's orange hot chocolate. It had some orange grinds sprinkled on top and served with some marshmallows on the side. I personally wouldn't have ordered it because I don't really like anything with fruit flavours, but this drink was surprisingly good. It was rich, creamy and not overly sweet. It didn't taste artificial like some other hot chocolates you get, and the orange complemented the chocolate quite well. The aftertaste was really interesting, I thought it tasted like "stinky tofu", but not in a bad way. I hope this doesn't turn you off.
Even after we finished our drinks, the staff kept refilling our water cups, which they brought to us when they served us our drinks, which makes me think that this is a place that doesn't mind if you sit long and hang out. Final Verdict:
Besides coffee, this cafe also offers healthy smoothies and food items, so maybe next time I will skip the coffee and try one of their power smoothies. I do have one complaint though, which is you have to take a few flight of stairs to get to the washroom, which is kinda inside an office that is quite dark.
題外話/補充資料：
These guys have a facebook page that is updated quite often, so you can easily find their latest specials or promotions and even classes that they offer.
