sawada
is
a
popular
west
loop
cafe,
and
for
a
great
reason!
i
came
here
on
a
sunday
morning
and
the
line
to
order
was
pretty
long--
it
was
nearly
out
the
door.
but
it
moved
pretty
fast
and
within
15
minutes,
i
got
my
order:
the
black
camo
latte
with
oat
milk.
i
absolutely
love
matcha,
so
i
was
excited
by
all
the
unique
matcha
options
on
the
menu
(which
i
have
yet
to
see
in
any
other
cafe).
the
black
camo
latte
features
roasted
matcha
(hojicha)
and
espresso,
which
made
an
excellent
combination,
though
the
roasted
matcha
taste
wasn't
super
strong
and
i
could
taste
more
of
the
espresso
than
matcha.
there
were
detectable
hints
of
cocoa
with
every
sip,
which
were
perfectly
subtle--sweet
without
overdoing
it.
overall
the
drink
was
warm,
flavorful,
and
satisfying.
next
time,
i'd
probably
order
the
normal
matcha
latte
for
a
stronger
matcha
flavor.
the
price
is
quite
steep
even
by
west
loop
standards--
i
paid
nearly
$8
for
the
drink,
so
i
recommend
the
place
as
a
treat
/
special
occasion,
rather
than
a
regular
destination.
otherwise,
the
cafe
interior
is
super
cute
and
has
a
large
cafeteria-style
seating
area
connected
to
green
street
smoked
meats.
it
also
has
a
beautiful
outdoor
seating
area.
the
inside
area
is
generally
pretty
loud,
so
it
might
not
be
an
ideal
place
to
do
work
or
read,
but
it's
definitely
a
great
place
to
meet
up
with
friends!
