I haven't. In fact... I haven't tried coffee at all. Those I've spoken to said it's very bitter, though.

[Not that Byleth minded bitter foods, but when given the choice of something sweet or something bitter, he would veer towards the sweet every time - and there were many sweet cakes left unsampled on this cafe's menu.]

But if it's your favourite cake, then I'll try it. Let's order some and share it.
