"Rating a New Café"
Last weekend, Sarah visited a new café in her neighborhood. The café is small but cozy, with beautiful decorations and comfortable chairs. The staff was very friendly, and the menu had many options. Sarah ordered a latte and a slice of chocolate cake.
The latte was fantastic—hot and creamy, just the way she likes it. However, the chocolate cake was disappointing. It was too dry and not very sweet. Sarah decided to give the café a second chance and try other desserts next time.
Overall, she rated the café 4 out of 5 stars because of its atmosphere and friendly service.
