NO WOW NO SHOCKER marina mirage gold coast

I grabbed my piccolo served in an 8 oz cup and thought that must be a heavy paper cup.
I walked out of view before tasting.
I rarely sip my brew in front of an intentionally caring barista in case I spit it out all over them in disgust.
No need to embarrass either party.
My piccolo was a full 8 oz. I thought she understood.
I got a piccolo MILKSHAKE.
Robbed too!
Verbal charge was $3 thanks,
I handed over $5 and received $1.50 change.

Blend was confusing, buttery true, too much milk. Explanation of sustainable coffee is poor.
happy to pay for a poor experience in hope of evolving expectation.

WOW AWARD Veneziano

WOW AWARD

I found what I have always imagined possible.

My first visit included a sincere welcome. As the moments progressed I kept saying Wow.

3 grinders on the counter. 1 for decaf 1 for espresso and 1 for milk based drinks I guessed.

Feel free to look around they offered.

Roasting facility, cupping room and even a colouring in cubbyhole for kiddies to develop some latte art designs Im sure.

We exchanged names. Dynamic Dion, Magnificent May, Awesome Anthony, Perfectionist Pete and JP, which I am certain is an abbreviation of Just Pedantic. Good thing to be in coffee.

I encourage consumers to get fussy. It’s your money I say and a good Barista has the skills and understanding to satisfy your fussiest demands.

My second visit 2 days later to attend a free cupping session began with a sincere welcome again and by name. Wow

Spoilt rotten by owner Peter who spent hours offering tastes of some of the worlds finest brews. Amazed how he was happy to share his hard earned knowledge freely.

It is a completely transparent business, nothing to hide everything thing to be shared and rightfully with pride. Wow

One of the many highlights was cupping the Monsoon Malabar, which I have only been able to read about over 13 years. Then to have it as an espresso was a euphoric experience of senses. Wow wow wow my mind was saying.

Then the Sumatran Blue Batak.

The W on my keyboard is going to need replacing. WoW WoW

Anyone and everyone have to experience this. Even if you hate coffee.

The guys are taking our world of coffee to another level.

See I told you it was possible.
