Today, we decided to get an iced quad shot oatmilk mocha from here and another place nearby and compare them.

Although we got our drink to go today, we like the ambiance. We have had mochas all over the US (including AK & HI) and in other countries that make them (some places don't), so we (and some of our friends) consider ourselves mocha connoisseurs. Iced Quad Oatmilk Mocha Turbo J: 6/10, lots of coffee, not much chocolate (prefer more), bitter, could use more sweetness N: 6/10, Strong coffee flavor (good), very (maybe too) bitter, barely any chocolate (not enough), too (syrupy) sweet Competitor J: 7/10, don't taste coffee (prefer to taste more), not bitter, could use 1 step up on chocolate, sweetness okay N: 6/10, needs more coffee flavor, needs more chocolate (taste it more than Turbo but no enough for me), still a little too sweet but not as syrupy, not bitter, don't like lid because of risk of coming loose/leaking I would come back but not weekly like I used to in 2020-21. What would make this a better mocha? IMHO, a quality unsweetened cocoa like Guittard Rouge, the ability to customize sweetness, and cooling the drink first in a cold cup before pouring over a bit more ice.

During my second visit, I opted for the banana muffin and it was just as delicious. The staff is also really friendly and coffee is made quick.

I'm not sure why the coffee taste was weak with a quad shot, but this did have more of a chocolate taste, although I prefer more. I also appreciated that although it was still too sweet for me, it didn't taste "syrupy." The lid is a bit of a hazard, as it kept popping off.

It was all younger college students but pretty quiet in there. The cashier was super nice. I got a cold brew with sweet cold foam. It was pretty good, not super strong, but not weak either. As you can see in the picture the cold foam kinda just mixed with the coffee, meaning it was probably frothed milk as opposed to frothed heavy cream. It still was good (I didn't detect much sweetness). Coming back I'd probably try a latte instead and see how the espresso is. They had a whole list of a TON of different syrup flavors which was cool!!
