Decaf iced latte, marked by straw color

Today's order arrived with the buzzer, and it looked amazing from the start. The menu items were so pretty like a painting that I happily snapped away.

Since it was late in the afternoon, I ordered decaf, and they marked it with a straw color. Even in September, iced is still the way to go — the iced latte was rich and had great body

The signature dessert: Hongrad Brownie

And for a dessert to pair with the latte, I chose the Hongrad Brownie, which is also Hongrad Mangpo Station Branch's signature dessert menu item. It already passes on looks alone, and now I have to taste it — it's almost too pretty to eat.

I thought I'd better take a bite before the ice cream melted, and the brownie is genuinely fudgy. Rich and dense, with chocolate chips throughout for extra texture, and it paired perfectly with the vanilla ice cream. Banana, blueberry, and the cherry on top as the finishing touch — two thumbs up.
