The Original Barista is a cozy and inviting coffee spot, offering a select range of carefully crafted coffees and a concise menu of just 10 items. The Golden Ratio sans espresso is a soothing and comforting choice, while the vibrant and rich pastries catch the eye of visitors. The iced chai is a complex blend of spices, meticulously handcrafted, and the vanilla latte with housemaid syrup strikes the perfect balance - not too sweet, not too bitter. Each drink is thoughtfully prepared, and the turmeric latte is a must-try. The honey used as a sweetener may vary in taste for some, but the overall experience is impressive.
Customers have been enjoying the salted syrups in their lattes, and the service is consistently fast and friendly. The coffee shop's cozy atmosphere makes it an ideal spot for a study break or to get some work done. The matcha latte is a popular choice, though some have noted a slightly grainy texture. The range of cup sizes offered is also appreciated by customers. Recently, many have praised the cold brew for being bold yet super smooth with no bitterness. The shop offers various milk options and allows for customizations, which adds to the welcoming vibe that feels local and special. Overall, Original Barista stands out as a top choice for coffee lovers, with many returning frequently for the outstanding quality and attention to detail in every drink.
