Went to Maxi Coffee Bar’s new space at 6 Ann Siang Hill yesterday — the coffee bar had officially opened the doors of its new location just yesterday having moved from their previous spot at Emerald Gardens along Club Street.

Apart from serving up specialty coffee and a selection of bakes just like how they did at Club Street, Maxi Coffee Bar also now serves up a variety of food items on their menu for those who are looking for a substantial eat. The Kinda Ploughman’s caught my attention whilst skimming through the menu here — features components such as Onion Chutney, Mature Cheddar and Soft Egg on Sourdough. Simple as it sounds, but I absolutely love the flavour profile of this one — that immense sweetness of the onion chutney was almost like a marmalade on its own, which paired so well with the slight tanginess from the fermentation of the sourdough toast; the sourdough toast also being crusty with a good chew. The mature cheddar further balances out the sweetness while a light, savoury note, while the soft boiled egg provides a more wholesome feel to the entire dish. A rather simple open-faced sandwich that is pretty fuss-free, yet satisfying for a light breakfast.

Given how Maxi Coffee Bar was only open during the weekdays when it was still a hole-in-the-wall spot at Club Street, I am certainly glad that they are now open from Tuesday to Sunday which makes it an ideal weekend spot to hangout. Seating is still a tad limited, though definitely more than before — that being said, do be prepared to wait a little while for seats even on the weekend; they have since garnered quite a loyal fan base ever since the opening of their first space back then, and everyone seems excited about visiting their new space after their short hiatus to move to the new premises. Still, a spot worthy to add to the list for cafe-hoppers who have not yet done so; would be back to give the other food items a try in the future!
