The Helsinki Latte is a fantastic balance of smooth condensed milk and strong coffee! The signature really is different. My eyes went wide after one sip.

Iced americano Dunkel and how it pairs with desserts

The iced americano Dunkel (듄켈) is clean-tasting and pairs best with a sweet cookie! It's so refreshing that it would also work as a palate cleanser after a meal.

Dark s'mores cookie

The dark s'mores cookie is chewy and rich, and it goes really well with coffee. This cookie was so good that I kept thinking about it!

Babka

The babka has flaky layers, so tearing it apart was a lot of fun. haha

The babka and the cookie were each a different kind of dessert experience!
