After having my dinner here at Citta Mall, I've been drawn to try out this Beans N Beans Korean cafe.

Been putting off for trying here for so long. Each and every time I hear myself saying the next time around, the next time around but never really got to it. Finally today, I decided by hook or by crook, I'll try it even if I'm gonna fill myself up with dinner first.

The place has a warm ambiance with bright lighting where you can spot from afar. It is by far probably the brightest outlet in the row that it's in. Being a typical proclaimed Korean Cafe, it has to sell Bingsu. But I wasn't there for Bingsu that day. I was on my mission to try their cheesecake which I had consistently tried pairing it with a Latte/Flat White on 2 other cafes.

Being there on a dinnertime, the few people that were there were just leaving for their dinner as I entered the cafe. I wasn't noticed by the person behind the counter where he was busy cleaning the coffee machine but immediately greeted me warmly when he noticed my presence. Since it was nearing Christmas, the cheesecake had a Merry Christmas sign stuck on top of it.

Beans N Beans cafe is a self service cafe where you're given a call bell that will light up and vibrate when your order is ready. It took quite a while until I managed to receive my order and that was when I noticed that it's because that he's been preparing 2 other orders alongside mine concurrently. So that means, I got my order the fastest among the 3 since I ordered last. That's damn long.

The cheesecake was nice and tasted typical. There's nothing fancy nor out of the ordinary in taste just that appearance-wise, there's a Merry Christmas sign on it. It's nice and soft though. Tastes above average and costs RM9.50. The only problem with it is that it's small in size. But being packed with cream cheese, it's much more filling than those cakes that are fluffy and airy.

The latte wasn't to my liking. It's the bitter type where the milk is unable to hide the powerful punch. It also contains way too much foam and is like a cappuccino.

The place is comfortable enough for me to chill and unwind and has quite ample amount of power outlets to charge your phone or plug your laptops and work long there.

Total Wallet Damage:
RM20.95. RM10.30 for the Latte and RM9.50 for the cheesecake. There's 6% GST imposed but no service charge. After all, it is self service.

Final Verdict:
5.5/10. I never do understand the difference in Korean cafes. To me, it's just normal cafes that serve Bingsu. But if it's coffee I'm after, I prefer the ones at Caffe Bene if I were to compare among Korean cafes. This one just don't impress me much. One day, I just gotta go try Bingsu even though it's not really my thing.
