COFFEE

My 1st impression of their melaka latte is nice, slightly sweet with a unique taste of gula melaka. That period is when they have soft opening.

However on my 2nd, 3rd visit don’t know why the coffee standard has dropped. One day the coffee too diluted with so much iced. Another day the coffee & gula melaka taste was not proper.

All in all, the pricing is reasonable $4.80 for a cup (hot/iced).

This place was a nice instagrammable spot. With a garden concept, it’s decorated with lush greeneries and hanging dried flowers. One section is a cafe, another is a salon.

Their salmon avocado bowl was highly recommended as the salmon quite fresh, paired with avocado chunks and healthy brown rice. That aside, I ordered dalgona coffee as it’s quite hype on the menu. To my disappointment, it’s way too sweet!! I couldn’t tolerate so I complaint to the waiter. She offered a new one with sugar, espresso, and milk in a separate cup. I accept the offer and tried for 2nd time, ohh.. the coffee itself already too sweet even without me putting the sugar! It’s not a pure espresso, apparently they’ve mixed it with something else.

My advice, don’t get Dalgona coffee and waste your money. Order a more healthy drink pair with a healthy bowl. You don’t want to get extra pounds by sipping a cup of overly sweet coffee, rite?

Just landed at Abu Dhabi Internasional Airport at midnight and I’m sleepy. Spotted the food & drinks here is extraordinary expensive. For a small cup of coffee AED 20+ (SGD 8) and a plain croissant AED 15 (SGD 6) wow...

The quality of the coffee is acceptable and the coffee tasted good. Their customers are mainly is ang moh and they offer power charging stations, CNN news and wifi.

Payment with USD at Abu Dhabi Internasional Airport is welcomed.

Undoubtedly this humble cafe won my heart with their signature Charms Latte $5.40. The latte is smooth, the blend of coffee & steamed milk is just perfect. Make your morning complete with muffin 🥧 or sandwich 🥪 add-on for $2.

I vote this as my most favorite coffee in Singapore 🇸🇬

The iced mocha $6.30 at Brawn & Brains is beyond mediocre. Bold, chocolatey and has a full body. Something that makes you come back again & again. The vibes is perfect for weekend. The only downside is cramped seating space.

Although this place more for dine-in or cocktails, the coffee served here is surprisingly good. It has body and intense in flavour.

Located at 4th floor of Orchard Central, the atmosphere is cozy. Perfect setting for catch up with friends & weekend dating. Definitely one of the most hip spot for youngsters at Somerset.

Located just beside Raffles Place MRT with glasshouse exterior; this place always has a soft spot for me. Sipping a good cup of coffee in the CBD bring my memory back then when I used to work in that area.

The ambience is great, the place is filled with working executives on weekdays for a short chit chat or business meeting.

The coffee and pastries goes along well and it’s also a good dine-in place for Saturday/Sunday brunch. Bring along your kindle, laptop or simply play with your phone. You can comfortably sit for hours.

This place impressed me with their fancy interior. Most of the furnitures is plated with gold colour and furnished with marble. What a perfect setting to take a pretty instagram picture.

The service is good and the most important the coffee is awesome. The iced mocha has a heavy body with lingering aftertaste; chocolatey and rich.

Though it’s a tad bit pricey but overall you pay for the cafe ambience & quality of the coffee. Coffee lovers, please mark this spot in your bucket list.
