Wicked Cafe

Wicked Café – I had been pushed/encouraged to try out Wicked Cafe due to a tik tok video. The sender wanted me to review it to see if it’s taste as good as it looks since she wasn’t in town to try it. I ordered the Instagram staple items – strawberry latte / peach tiramisu pot and sweet cheese garlic bun. I didn’t order the famous Tom and Jerry cheesecake since I wasn’t really looking for something too dense.  The decor and the creative creations of the baked goods were fantastic and clearly Instagram worthy. I can definitely see why so many people come to the spot to take photos! The urban and rustic vibe makes it very dreamy. So, what about taste? Overall, I didn’t find it to be anything particular that wow me. The garlic bun didn’t turn out as great as I liked it to be since it wasn’t garlicky enough for me. The sweetness of the cream cheese was a little overpowering for my liking. I would prefer a more subtle taste to it. The ig popular strawberry latte is just that – great for ig photos. The drink itself is simple enough to make. Strawberry puree with milk. When I see the word latte – I expected some sort of coffee with milk and Strawberry together with it. But there was absolutely no coffee in it. It should be renamed properly as it is. The taste isn’t bad but not impressive either. Perhaps make it sweeter and add some dry strawberrys on top to make it more unique and use brown sugar with a bit of lemon zest or lime to freshen the taste. As for the peach pot tiramisu I was expecting some sort of coffee flavour combined with the peaches. But I couldn’t taste much of the coffee within it. It tasted like a soft layered peach sponge cake. Overall, their creative baked goods and desserts are beautiful as their latte art as well. But when it comes to flavors – I definitely think there are other places that outshine it.
