The owner Yokoyama-san was the Japan barista champion for 2 years running, and second in the World Latte Art Championship in 2004. Needless to say, he makes a superb coffee! Ask for the New Zealand special for a picture of a sheep in your latte...

I'll have to investigate that further... The milkshake aspect to a coffee , as mentioned above (ala the white chocolate creation), may be rather sacrilegious to those serious coffee hags out there. Yet I've noticed that every new generic beverage to come out of the starbucks-clones has some milkshake aspect to it (hazelnut madness, super sesame slurp, chunky chocolatte etc). The focus on a plain, working-man's latte in the above competition brings hope to me and others who would like to see a change from super sweet junk drinks to superior, well-roasted crema delights.
