Heads up if you love croissants and pastries as OMC’s almond chocolate croissant can give Mother Dough’s a run for their money! OMC’s almond croissant is flat and dense. While not as fluffy or large as Mother Dough’s, it’s every bit as buttery rich, and pillowy soft on the inside. The aroma from the croissant is just heavenly, especially when it’s just fresh out from the oven. The interior is more cake-like than fibrous, but the texture is chewy and satisfying. In addition, there’s a dark chocolate-filled interior in this croissant plus chocolate chips on top. Almonds and chocolate are such a winning combination and this croissant is no exception. I’d gladly pay $5.50 for this croissant although it is slightly more expensive than Mother Dough’s.

Im surprised that hardly any reviews mention the baked goods at OMC, but these looked so good I had to try anyway (they look better on display - the staff suggested popping it in the oven as it was inedible without heating up although I was having it to go, and it got smooshed in the takeaway bag). While I agree that the brunch items like the Gashouse Eggs and French Toast are very good, consider giving the baked goods at OMC some love the next time you’re there!

Got this together with the ugly bun as a set for about $6. Pricier than a regular coffee shop or kopitiam, but still much cheaper than going out for breakfast at a cafe.

The yuan yang here isn’t too sweet, plus the ratio of coffee to tea and milk is just right such that none of the components overshadow the others. Not sure if the cafe has ties to Tiong Bahru Pau which is just a few shop units down, but I’m sure I’ll be coming back again :)

Have always been wanting to drop by this coffeeshop and quite glad that I actually made an actual visit despite how long it took me to check them out.

I often have UFO Buns for my Kaya Butter Toast for the food court around my area serves them, but the Kaya Butter UFO Bun here is certainly more appealing. Toasted to just the right timing, the bun still maintains its light, fluffy texture whilst being lightly crisp on the top (a lot of places end up with a stiff bread that requires more chew); inside, there is a good amount of both Kaya and Butter for that sweet-savoury balance.

Kopi is also worth commending here — very rich and aromatic, yet not overly sweet; almost the perfect cup of Nanyang Kopi that I would like to wake up to any day.
