Nice coffee spot in town and the burpple deal made the afternoon coffee even sweeter!
They also have dairy free alternative like soy or almond milk, available at no additional charge.
Service was impeccable too! Highly recommended and will be back :)
Ordered the Paprika Chicken and Cheesy Rendang dish and although the cafe was relatively empty, the dishes took ~25mins to arrive. It was also quite warm - it felt like a toaster inside!
The waiter came to explain that as the chicken is prepared from scratch, the waiting time is slightly longer. Apparently, they had reviews in their other concept (Citrus by the Pool) that their prepped chicken was tough and hence they decided to try with raw ingredients.
Well, although the wait was long, I have to admit the chicken was incredibly juicy and tender. The wedges were quite tough though. Probably should have baked it while preparing the chicken 😂.
My boyfriend had the Rendang dish and we found it underseasoned and bland. Quite disappointed ):
Overall, I feel that the cafe is pretty and they serve some neat dishes especially the customized salad bowls. Pity these are not on the Burpple deals. Their marble tables are very instaworthy and the decor is upscale and chic. Personally feel it might be better as a dessert cafe. Probably will be back if they have more dessert items but otherwise, I wouldn't go out of my way for this.
One of the few vegan ice cream cafes in Singapore and glad to discover it taste as good as it's dairy counterpart!
We ordered the brownie set which came with a sweet potato brownie, any scoop of ice cream (we picked cranberry snickledoodle) and 2 toppings (we chose toastes quinoa and chocolate granola).
The brownie was so good. The chocolate glace above it was warm and thick and oh-so-comforting... And the brownie itself is soft yet slightly rich and mushy due to the sweet potatoes. Really love the texture and consistency.
The ice cream was okay but I feel the flavors did not really stand out. But nonetheless, very happy that all these were dairy and lactose free!
Will definitely come back again and again :)
Got to know of this place through Food King and I totally see why they are foodking good.
The portions of poke were humongous haha very worthwhile! I ordered beef cubes, spicy salmon, tofu skin (which is actually inari!), edamame, chuka wakame and almond with brown rice.
The beef cubes were soft and tender whereas the salmon was so fresh and firm. The toppings were also fantastic - love the inari!!
However, they only have bar seats though ): wish they have lower seats haha but it doesn't hurt the overall experience - just a good to have.
Highly recommended :)

Was excited when I saw this on burpple as I'm a big fan of customized bowls but sadly, the ingredients were bland and dry.
I picked the Chicken Breast, Edamame, Sweet Potatoes, Brown Rice and Sunflower seeds as well as a hot and spicy dressing (on the side)
The chicken breast is dry and tasteless, Edamame lacks salt, sweet potatoes are dry (but how?? I have no idea) and the brown rice and sunflower seeds taste as they should be, nothing special. Given, the sauce is supposed to help season the bowl but I guess after trying bowls from TDC, I expected the individual ingredients to be seasoned. I'm glad I requested for the dressing on the side because the hot and spicy dressing taste foul (to me, at least).
So what I got in the end was a dry, albeit super healthy (I think) bowl. Not recommend.

Used the Burpple breakfast deal.
Although the deal mentioned spring blossom and garlic bread should be a set, the cashier charged us extra for the garlic bread ):
There were also miscommunication where initially the cashier denied that the breakfast deal could be used as it is only for weekdays morning but after repeatedly clarifying that the deal didn't mention it, she allowed us to use it.
Not a great start to the experience though.
Moving on to the food.
The breads we took were Spring Blossom, Garlic Bread and a Coffee loaf.
Just one word to describe them all: disappointing ):
The Garlic bread lacks flavor, the spring blossom is way too oily and the coffee loaf has no coffee taste at all. But I have to admit they were incredibly fluffy.
The drinks were sub-par too as the soy milk is quite an acquired taste while the milk tea lacks depth.
Very disappointed as I heard great reviews about this bakery but it didn't deliver. Or maybe my local taste buds ain't used to it 😰
Nonetheless, the ambience is good as the whole bakery feels very atas so I guess that's one redeeming factor. I won't be back though, that's for sure.

The dish is tasty and I must say the mentaiko here is done really well. However, the portion size for the burpple beyond set is really tiny. Feels more like an appetizer rather than a main. Decent food but unless they revise their portion size, not coming back.
