I stopped by this branch of The Milkman and had the Cloud Catcher herbal tea while my friend had a cappuccino. Both drinks tasted good but quite average nothing that really stood out. What disappointed me most was the staff, who weren’t very friendly, which made the experience less enjoyable. On top of that, the prices felt a bit high for what we got. Overall, it was okay. I much preferred the other branch of The Milkman up the road the staff is way nicer!
