So many restaurants and cafes, so little time to visit them all. Out of so many choices, I set my eyes on Havla because it is located at the quaint heritage area, the matcha theme and the novelty of vegan desserts.
The place is minimalistic, classy, modern and has lots of zen influences. There are also lots of spaces between each table. So I feel really calm and refreshed when stepping into this unique space. The desserts are good too, and the tea is refreshing to the palate and the mind. In fact, this is place is heaven sent for lactose intolerant individuals.
Since I'm here for the matcha, of course I will order an item that has matcha. But I also want something different instead of pure matcha or matcha ice-cream only. So I decide on Warabi Mochi with °2 Matcha Gelato. °2 Matcha Gelato is the more intense version of matcha and I love it. The taste is more intense, yet still smooth and not acidic. Warabi mochi is soft, chewy and refreshing in taste, complementing the creamy ice-cream well. By the way, the ice-cream still tastes very creamy despite being vegan.
I love this.
The ambience makes this cafe a really great place to relax, hang out with friends or loved ones while enjoying some yummy healthy desserts and good matcha or tea. Since I'm mildly lactose intolerant, this is really an awesome choice for me to enjoy some good creamy desserts.
