Clean, minimalist, and a new addition to the coffee culture at Aperia Mall, it's located beside Ya Kun and stares into the heart of Starbucks and McDonald’s.
Like many, I was curious and drawn by the 99-cent promotion. I'd say go for the iced coffee and other drinks, like Matcha.
I tried my luck and picked the ones with latte art from their app. I saw how the coffee was prepared. It's no different from the machines in an office or hotel – the one-press-button kind.
The lid was a very nicely designed plastic cap with a few movable parts. The design on the cup was nice and modern. The cup was thin, and the coffee was piping hot, so be careful.
Now, let’s get down to the coffee. No latte art – not that it's going to make the taste any better, but I thought I would get what I ordered.
The Arabic beans lacked aroma and were overpowered by the air bubbles from the milk, which was limp and light. I gave it a second and third shot, but I was unable to extract any flavours from this cup. I was unable to finish the last quarter of the drink.
For the first 99 cents, it was a good experience. But in the future, I think you're better off getting coffee from any of the friendly stores in the area.

I was at Luckin Coffee Aperia Mall on a Sunday afternoon for coffee and chatting. I was alarmed by three other ladies sitting beside us; only one of whom ordered a coffee, while the other two were doing facial cleansing for one another. There was a bucket of filthy water, used cotton wool, and tissue strewn on the table just beside us. They then took out cream, lotion, or spray to apply, and weird fragrances filled the air, driving us to the next level. I politely approached the counter staff for assistance on the matter, as their actions had gravely affected fellow patrons. To my astonishment, the staff returned to inform me that she had spoken over the phone to their Store Manager and had been instructed that I had to take the matter into my own hands (within Luckin Coffee premises) as they would not intervene. Unbelievable management! Horrible! Absolutely no customer service to begin with! So, anyone feel free to barbecue, get a nail manicure, etc., at Luckin Coffee, as their management cannot intervene! Worst coffee experience ever!

Very fast and efficient service. All ordering and payment are done through the app, which also offers promo codes and discounts. Specifically for this store, the pickup was fast, and it has ample seating. There's also huge counter space, and if you order in advance, your drink will be ready in minutes.

It's in Aperia Mall and has indoor seating, so the air-conditioning is quite cool compared to other restaurants. This brand is from China and offers quite high-quality coffee. They have a self-order machine, which makes ordering quite easy. Their drinks are the best.

The Americano and Cappuccino we had for a coffee break were good. Service was relatively fast. Orders can be placed by downloading the app on-site (scan the QR code). Nice ambience.
