Matcha Latte (Hot)
Location: Plearn cafe
Price: $6.95? Cad
Same day post! The thing about a mars bar hangout is that it will last a full work day and will consist of us wandering from cafe to bookshop to cafe to cafe to cafe. And it will always be a great time. For continuity we also always get the same thing: matcha latte, and I believe at this point (I'm writing from the future; how far in the time? You'll never know) theirs was vanilla latte.
I had the cold one last time I was here so now we’re going to compare!
It’s much sweeter than this morning’s from Versus, but the bitter is still hitting, so it’s got my vote. The cold milky foam mixed in with the hot matcha also makes it warm and cozy instead of blistering hot, so I can drink it! Iced matcha dilutes the flavour, but cold milky foam on top creates an ideal balance. I miss the cozy mug though, and for its price, which was more than this morning, there seems to be less to offer here. I wouldn’t be able to wax poetic about the mug, for example. Versus wins.
