Postboy Coffee

Had heard about the new Postboy Coffee that had recently opened within the grounds of Enabling Village — Enabling Village is situated within walking distance away from Redhill MRT Station, and has been seeing quite a number of interesting F&B additions of the late; this includes establishments like Mad Roaster's Slow Bar and Bailey & Patch Pet Cafe. Postboy Coffee is actually located in a newly-constructed building within the compounds of Enabling Village; they can be found in an area quite nearby both the aforementioned dining establishments, though it is located in a complex named the i'mable Collective Space. This is a retail-cum-gallery / studio-cum cafe space that showcases the creations of people with various disabilities, which allows them to be trained and up-skilled for potential employment in the future. Postboy Coffee fronts the entire space on its second floor, with quite a decently-sized dine-in area being dedicated for its operations. The working area of the cafe for its own staff is sectioned away with wooden panels; pretty much the same fittings used to partition each section of the space away from each other, though blue acrylic signages does indicate the existence of the establishment whilst also listing down the beverage menu that they have to serve. The seating space comprises of a mix of booth seats and proper dining furniture; there are more booth seats that makes use of side tables for dine-in seatings, though individual diners would find the small cubby holes near the counter seats with high chairs facing the windows being particularly cosy. The food menu at Postboy Coffee is fairly simple; the highlights would be the various renditions of Waffles that they have to serve up, though they also have a number of bakes which are stocked in the display case at the counter. Otherwise, Postboy Coffee does seem to emphasise largely on the beverages it serves; the beverage menu being sectioned into Coffee, Non-Coffee and Tea.

Skimming through the menu at Postboy Coffee, the Lemon Cloud’s Drip is an item that caught our attention whilst at it — perhaps considering how it is one of the few special concoctions that Postboy Coffee has to offer. The Lemon Cloud’s Drip is essentially an Einspanner-inspired beverage — one that comes served with black coffee that is beneath the lemon cream foam layer typical of the milk cap or “macchiato” layer that sits atop the beverage that one can find being served at bubble tea stalls around. Considering how the black coffee does carry a medium body with fruity notes, the lemon cream foam adds that rich and creamy touch whilst carrying a zingy and zesty note that makes it refreshing for the tastebuds — quite a interesting change from the usual where the lemon cream foam actually makes everything particularly easy to drink.

The Triple Chocolate Cookie was one out of two (2) cookies that are being offered during our trip made to Postboy Coffee on a weekday afternoon; the Triple Chocolate Cookie does come as a pretty thick and soft cookie — coming with a dark chocolate batter, it does also come with nibs of white chocolate within that provides a suitable level of sweetness to the cookie. Postboy Coffee does seem to be an establishment that is more than just their specialty coffee, waffles and bakes — apart from retailing their very own line-up of merchandise that includes stickers, postcards and t-shirts, it does seem that the establishment also retails postcards that one can write on and get it posted to them after the visit is made; a place where one can immerse in self-reflection over a cuppa. With the establishment being situated in a meaningful spot, Postboy Coffee integrates itself nicely within the space that it calls itself home to; would like to return another time to give their waffle items a try!
