White Heron Coffee - douceur, nuages & surprises sucrées ☁?🍵

J'ai goûté deux pointes de gâteaux : Earl Grey & Raisins verts & Châtaigne & Cassis. Visuellement, c'est déjà à couper le souffle- & en bouche, c'est encore mieux. Les shortcakes sont fluffy comme des nuages, aux saveurs à la fois délicates & étonnantes. Pas trop sucrés, juste ce qu'il faut. Je suis vite saturée par les desserts trop sucrés, alors que j'aurais volontiers mangé une troisième pointe de ceux-ci… 🍰💫

Côté boissons, j'ai savouré un matcha sakura & goûté un hojicha à la lavande. Les arômes sont bien présents sans être envahissants. Chaque gorgée est chaude & réconfortante. & le latte art? Magnifique - net, précis, apaisant à regarder.

Le décor est minimaliste, l'ambiance douce & calme : parfait pour étudier, lire ou discuter
.
Le service, attentionné & chaleureux.

Bref, tout était instagrammable… & surtout, au-delà de mes attentes.

White Heron Coffee - softness, clouds & sweet surprises ☁?🍵

I tried two slices of cake: Earl Grey & Green Grapes & Chestnut & Blackcurrant. Visually stunning - & the taste? Even better. The shortcakes are fluffy like clouds, with delicate yet surprising flavors. Not overly sweet, which I deeply appreciate. I usually get overwhelmed by sugar, but with these… I could've gone for a third slice. 🍰💫

As for drinks, I had the sakura matcha & tasted the lavender hojicha. The flavors are well-balanced - present without being overpowering. Every sip felt warm & comforting. & the latte art? Beautifully done - clean, precise, & a little visual hug.

The minimalist decor & soft ambiance make it the perfect spot to study, read, or quietly chat.

The service was friendly & kind.

All in all, everything was instagrammable… & honestly, beyond my expectations.

Giving 2 stars for the efforts only, their lavender donuts are tasteless, & the staff seems always busy, they won't even let you see how you prepare the coffee.

The desserts were so tasty! Lavender & chestnut hojicha donuts were great-the glaze on the lavender is on the sweet side but contains so much flavor. The cake is also light & spongy. Strongly recommend the hojicha latte as well.

got the blueberry lavender short cake & really liked it :) it was a little citrusy & the lavender wasn't too overpowering , it wasn't too sweet & with the blueberries it all balanced out beautifully 😛 The chai was just ok but it cut the sweetness which was nice lol

Good spot for work, calm & peaceful! Moving on to their cakes, we got three flavors, the black sesame, mango passion, & blueberry lavender cake. I'd say the cakes were not too sweet which is fine, but they were lacking in flavor, I couldn't feel any fruit flavor at all! The black sesame was better but not wow, also got ice chai which also tasted just like Cinnamon milk nothing more! 31$ was a bit too high, especially that the quality wasn't there, but would definitely come back for the ambience

The drinks are different & very good. Tried their hojicha lavender, matcha strawberry & regular latte. Blueberry & lavender shortcake was also pretty good. Plenty of seating spots. Would recommend!
