Among all the franchises that has graced our 'little town' of Tawau, this one was by far the most anticipated one. I mean, there's even a fake rumor about them opening a branch here way back in 2017 but nothing came out of it until the end of last year. And arguably their presence at the main entrance to the T2 @ Apas area (directly facing the Pertama Commercial Complex aka Takada) has brought more patrons to the otherwise very quiet and brand spanking new commercial area.
Since they'd taken root at not one but 4 shop lots (just recently found out that the front and back sides of the same shop were actually seperate lots), you can expect a huge seating area for the local customers. Me and hubby dearest only dared to stepped into the place when we were sure that the 'new-store-hype' has died down a bit. We obviously ordered our faves the Dark Mocha and Chocolate Cream Chip frappuccinos. And both of us agreed that something seemed to be 'off' about our drinks. They seemed a bit diluted tasting than the usuals but we chalked it up to the 'setahun jagung' baristas. But we did enjoyed their Chocolate Lava Muffin (yup, never missed a chance to have one) and Hazelnut Chocolate Cake (plus the Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake that I've taken away - also currently in the running to be my all-time favorite). I will give them sometime before I revisit the shop again, just to see whether time can improve the quality of their drinks. After all, that's what the brand is mainly famous for right?
** Current status - Still in operation (as of July 2023)
