Tried the iced ube coconut cloud. Unfortunately there was no ube flavour, left quite disappointed after spending £4.50 for a cup of coconut water.

——— ———, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. I’m sorry to see we only earned 2 stars on this occasion. We’d really appreciate the chance to understand what went wrong, so if you’re happy to share any feedback, please email us on ——— or pop us a message. We’re a small independent business and always want to improve. Thanks ———: Thank you for clarifying. It’s unfortunate that you have lowered your rating even further, but we welcome the feedback. The Ube Cloud is one of our most popular drinks and a lot of people come back for it, but we are taking a look at the recipe as a result of this feedback nonetheless to see if we can make it even better. If there is ever a problem with your drink in future then please let the barista know straight away. ——— be more than happy to refund you or offer you another drink.
