Campos


Thanks to my friend YJ, she introduced me to Campos coffee shop. It's in Newtown and its mean to be a real famous coffee shop. Its also number 1 voted coffee shop in eatability website. (Eatability is a website which lists all restaurants and ranks them by peoples feedback.) They say that they make more than 100 coffees an hour and they are well known for its quality of all their coffees served. It seemed pretty quite from outside but once you go in its packed. Around 80% was take away customers so if you wait for few minutes, you will find some seats.


Campos don't sell Caramel latte so i had to have a normal latte and i usually have Caramel latte so i couldn't compare it with other Caramel lattes i have tried but the latte was very smooth and had a good clean ending taste. Usually, at Starbucks or Gloria jeans, i would taste more of milk than coffee but this place, you couldn't feel that mikly taste at all...just pure smooth taste of coffee.

I even wondered if this was how a coffee should've tasted like and all the coffees i've tasted before were all just a fake! ha ha


Overall, i would strongly recommend it to anyone who have not tasted Campos coffee.
Ratings:


4.5/5 for Coffee

3/5 for atmosphere

4/5 for service


Although there isn't too much service to be asked but i was impressed by how they remembered and served our coffees when there were other dozen of people waiting for the coffees and remembered the order.
Yesterday i tried a coffee shop where they used Campos coffee beans but it was no way near the taste from the one at Newtown, so try the one at Newtown.

Hey Mahoney....
Gosh your photos are making me even more homesick. The Brits drink their coffee so frothy...even a flat white is frothy...I don't understand!
Keep up with the posts..:)
