We ordered the carbonara and tonkatsu sando - this is my second time having this at Baristart, and I’m pleased to say that it tasted just as good this time round again! The portions may be just slightly smaller than other places, but they make up for it by tasting exceedingly divine.

The tonkatsu meat is tender and succulent, and well worth ordering; that’s coming from someone who doesn’t even usually like tonkatsu. The carbonara is creamy and a little thicker, but I would say this is the 2nd best carbonara in Singapore I’ve ever tasted (the first being the carbonara at Marmalade Pantry).

We also had the affogato and mango pudding, both of which were so good and had us scooping up at every last bit to ensure no wastage 😬

Prices at Baristart are a bit steep - to defray the costs, you can sign up as a member to get a 10% discount for the first time visit + a 10% discount on your birthday month. Would save this place for special occasions since it’s pricey but it’s certainly worth visiting!
