This is a coffee review as I think there's data here in why I didn't end up getting an espresso. The score is for the iced matcha though!
I went to an Hola Cafe in the lobby of an office building in Dallas, it seemed like the Downtown to me, but my friend said it was Uptown, LOL. The location is very nice, with nice places to sit, an easy restroom, and some neat Dallas history and sports memorabilia on the wall.
I just wanted an espresso but I always ask what roaster is being used since don't want to use one of my 2 (well sometimes 3) daily coffee doses on a mediocre espresso. The barista had no idea what roaster they used and wasn't especially friendly about it.
I saw some matcha on the counter and just ordered it iced. It was very refreshing and fairly flavorful (but already sweetened, which they didn't tell me).
Seems like a nice place to sit and catch a break or people watch, but not really a dedicated specialty coffee outpost, at least at the Uptown location.
Cupping Method:The iced matcha had a bit of sweetener in it, so I didn't add anymore.
