We were walking around Curtis Park and made our way through this area, as soon as I saw the coffee shop I was excited to stop in.
The space is pretty big with a good amount of seating inside and outside. The team at Qisa was very friendly and welcoming and when I let them know it was my first time in they asked what I liked to drink. I let them know I drink everything and typically order a flat white or a specialty drink. I was ready for them to recommend the pistachio latte or rose latte but the person helping me seemed interested in trying their hand at a flat white and adding the Qisa house syrup to it. They seemed excited so I was happy to give it a try.
We saw posters for pink chai outside and my husband is a big chai fan so his order was easy. He opted for the iced version. We weren't sure what to expect and the menu says it's green tea, with milk, cardamom and pistachio. I'm not sure what turns it pink?
The drinks didn't take long and we were back on our walk in no time. The chai was fine, but my husband likes more flavor and spice. The pink chai had a light flavor.
The flat white was also ok, not the best I've ever had but I appreciated them giving it a try. I would definitely try them again though and go for a drink they're more known for.
Overall a very cute spot with plenty of space to hang out and study, work, or catch up with friends. read more
