How do the iced decaf Helsinki latte and levain cookies taste?

Here's what the writer ordered at Mini Male Coffee Roaster Yeoksam Branch this time.

• Helsinki latte, iced, decaf
• Handmade New York cookie – Peanut Butter & Jam
• Handmade New York cookie – Original Levain

With every sip of the Helsinki latte I was like, "How is it this smooth and nutty?!" It's a rich, smooth, sweet latte, and you can tell why it's the signature. If you like a smooth, nutty latte, I really recommend it!

The levain cookie looks tempting from the first glance, with that signature thick shape. It's slightly crisp outside and hefty yet moist inside. You get a fudgy, nutty, deeply sweet bite, so it goes well with coffee. And it's a perfect match with an iced Americano too!
