Got myself the earl grey lavender [$6.5]. The lavender is not as strong as the earl grey flavor, but both do not come out strongly either. It is not jelak and quite filling too, however some might find the flavor to be too weak. Nonetheless I will come back to try their other bakes and makes. The place is really quaint (somehow it is good they reduce the indoor capacity otherwise it may be so stuffy) and super aesthetic!

P.S. They encourage BYO to save on packaging, and also cash payment (possibly to reduce commission imposed on credit card payment fees). Support small business!
The cake sponge was moist and flavourful. The rose and raspberry flavours were fragrant and complement each other alone with the light cream as well.
The pear crumble has fragrant filling and a crisp crumble on the crust which gives it that extra crunch.
This was their birthday special and it's rarely available. I love how it has a combination of mild yet nutty genmaicha, sweet longan and thyme which added that special touch.
On the other hand, their lemon pistachio tea cake ($8) was a crowd favourite! The cake was moist with hints of pistachio, the lemon frosting tangy and sharp. It was well accompanied by pomegranate, which lent a touch of sweetness.
This chocolate tea cake ($6.50) was probably the one I enjoyed least! Although the layer of fudge on top was rich and dark, the cake felt a touch too dry and crumbly. The cake was also topped with dried flowers that caught me off guard - they were too bitter for my liking, and easily overwhelmed the chocolate.
