NOUS - COFFEE STORE

Great coffee reputation, but the matcha did not follow

NOUS Coffee Store matcha latte with heart latte art, held over a brick street

Loved

  • The woman at the counter was lovely and genuinely tried to accommodate my request for a stronger matcha.

  • I asked for something closer to the 4-5 grams I usually make at home, so I appreciated that she was willing to adjust it.

Didn’t Love

  • The color was very muted, which already made me slightly cautious, and unfortunately the taste and texture did not change my mind.

  • It also arrived warm rather than properly hot. That alone would not have been a dealbreaker, but combined with the muted flavor and texture, the cup just did not work for me.

  • I had probably set my expectations high because of the cafe’s coffee reputation, but I would not come back specifically for the matcha.
