The Coffee Academics (Scotts Square)

I don’t get the chance to eat such classy food very often but this was such a happy and well-spent meal. Some points to highlight, the bacon is coated with maple syrup and you can request for your eggs to be cooked in 3 ways (i.e. scrambled, poached or sunny-side up).

Definitely wouldn’t mind coming back to eat more of their food!

Gotten this Carbonara and Crab Meat Aglio Olio!

Personally, these two dishes compliment each other, as the carbonara might be a little sick after awhile , while the crab meat aglio olio is slightly spicy which helps to neutralise the overall taste!

Knew the coffee academics from their coffee in a cone! And their coffee still taste amazing! ❤️ Best part, bring your own cup and there is some discount 💋

Price: $24++ (for the crab meat aglio olio), $6++ (for flat white)
Satisfaction : 🤤 🤤 🤤

Great location - a bit of an oasis in the Orchard Road area. I don’t drink coffee, but am told it’s ok and the iced tea preparations are fairly innovative. The food is extremely average, or even below average. Service is limited to taking order and bringing the food and beverages to the table; otherwise it’s totally absent and a bit rough on the edges. If not for the 1-for-1 Entertainer offer, I wouldn’t bother coming here. These Academïcs are more Poly League than Ivy League.

The Academics Breakfast was alright, nothing fancy. Couldn’t go wrong with a classic order.

Avocado On Toast could be done better. It didn’t taste the best as the avocado seems a little warm when served. Also, upon reading similar reviews, it seems like the portion of the toast varies. Personally, the portion given was pretty small, with only a single toast. Could have made it a pair instead.

Overall it’s still a decent deal with the Burpple 1-for-1. Ambience is great nonetheless!

Sweet but not too coy, manuka latte is good for an afternoon pick me up.

Spicy chili crab meat pasta which packs a punch because of added chili padi but well worth it! Linginue was al Dente and dish haa generous serving of crab meat. Worth the price (and the heat!)
