Crema Roma Coffee experience... coconut and carob

On an outing closer to where we live, we were able to find an establishment that serves quite exotic variations of cold brew coffee. We arrived at Crema Roma Coffee with the intention of simply having something traditional, but upon seeing the menu we noticed that there were combinations that we had not known existed until that moment. Something that I have noticed and that I have mentioned in previous posts, is that the cold coffee that I have tried here in Peru, is usually very sweet, so it was not easy to make the decision, but we were already there and it was certainly an opportunity to try something different.

When we looked at the menu we found Cappuccinos that came with Lucuma, Whisky, Arequipe, Algarrobina, Coconut, Pisco, among other combinations that frankly were not to my liking. So we decided to order a coconut and an algarrobina, why these flavors, well, coconut seemed to be an interesting companion for coffee, we knew it would not have pieces of coconut, but we assumed it would be coconut milk and that did not seem like a bad idea. On the other hand, we chose carob because here in Peru they make spectacular ice creams with that flavor, so our minds thought it would be a good idea.

The truth is that minutes later our order arrived and curiosity was killing us, each of us tried it and I think there were mixed feelings from both of us. The coconut one had very little coffee flavor, maybe there was an error in the amounts of the ingredients at the time of preparation or simply the coconut flavor is invasive and generated that sensation, but regarding the sweetness it was quite balanced. On the other hand, the carob was quite sweet, but at least I felt firmly that I was drinking coffee, so the latter was a great success; however, I think that on another occasion I would ask for another type of coffee, perhaps the one with whiskey.

We accompanied these two drinks with a circular waffle which is cut in four parts with nutella and arequipe, and topped with strawberries and whipped cream. This one did not have any negative comments from us, it is just what you see, it tastes great and served perfectly to complement those two eccentric coffees.

The final balance was positive and could have been much better, expectations were quite high, but there are always risks when we order things we don't know or haven't tried before, so we can't complain. would I go back to this place? Probably yes, but I would order a different kind of drink. It was a pleasure to share my experience with all of you. Regards!
