The Café Cartel (Closed)

The atmosphere was quite cozy, I did like the place upon walking in.The ice cream was okay, good for a warm day, but I don't think it beats Ben and Jerry's! The nuts were a nice side with the ice cream, the little bit of crunch was great. I recommend their chocolate ice cream — creamy and who doesn't love chocolate?!

If you visit café cartel after 9pm, side dishes/desserts/cakes would be on 50% discount. great place for gathering and after food dessert with friends.NEVER TRY THE BEEF LASAGNA from the branch in Nex. The amount of salt they use for this dish seems free. salty to an extend that I cant even finish half of the dish. Bad one. meh. not worth a try.Service seems slow or rather, maybe due to the timing I visit(10+pm), the service attendance seems slacken. And took really their own sweet time to atten

One of my favourite dishes from cafe cartel is their carbonara. The carbonara saw is creamy and tasty especially after the egg yolk has been stirred in. The fragrance of the carbonara makes one unable to get enough of it. The bacon is savoury and blends together well with the sauce and the noodles. Delicious! One serving costs about $13. I will definitely be back for more.

This outlet is located near of one the exit at B1. You can easily miss it if you don't try looking for the signage. It is actually a pretty big outlet. Ordered the St Louis Pork Ribs to try. It is supposedly the award winning dish with their home-made sauce. One with honey glazed sauce and one with black pepper sauce. My Groupon order also came with a coconut banana split aka cocona split. A little disappointed with the service for a start as they forgot my sundae despite me telling them I've wa

I went back to cafe cartel with a groupon that comprise of Pork ribs, and coconut sundae. A bad thing about cafe cartel is that, the staffs are quite inattentive to customers, and its hard to catch their attention. I had the honey glazed ribs, which took quite a long time to come, by which I was starving! The ribs are up to their usual standard, quite well prepared. The coconut ice cream tasted very rich, and not for someone who is on a diet.

Even though there are quite many service staffs here, their service was abit slow and unattentive. Even order a cup of iced water will take them almost fifteen minutes to serve it to my table. I have ordered my all time favourite chicken cutlets, which are crispy on the outer layer and soft on the inner part. The mashed potato is also very smooth and soft in texture. The sauce used in this dish is also flavourful and not too salty. Very tasty, two thumbs up!

Cafe Cartel is one of my favourite breakfast place. I have been coming here for weekend breakfast ever since the stall opened in Hougang Mall and after it closed down and move to Serangoon NEX. It has been years and counting on. Throughout the years there were some changes to their breakfast and I really liked the addition of corroisants to their menu. The set cost from $6.95 to $7.95 with eggs, bacon and sausage with choice of corroisants, pancakes or french toasts. After they stopped their fre

Cafe Cartel has always been a favourite place to relax and chill, especially ifone manages to snare one of the comfy booth seats with sofas that enable one to sit back and put up one's feet. Sunday mornings are busy times when families stream in for their big value breakfasts but in the afternoon the pace is quieter. Dropped by for a late lunch of fish and chips $16.30++ but the portion was so big it is best shared by two or you wont have room for dinner. Huge fillet that is double the size of t

After a concert at Serangoon JC we were thinking of what to eat as it was late brunch. So Cafe Cartel it is. When i think of this place.. I had a good impression. The meals prepared there are very different. I went there for a date and clearly everything could be improved except the service. Firstly, the menu was improved and changed but being too colorful i get confused. The menu was ok as it provided a different array of various dishes.We shared meatballs in cheese served in a casserole bowl.

There are 6 of us and it was 12 noon. There was no waiting crowd and therefore the waitress could serve us quite promptly. There are set lunch and luxe sets so we ordered 2 set lunch and 2 luxe sets. The prices are reasonable and the photos on the menu look good. We ordered Monday Set Lunch A – Crispy Sesame-seeded fish fillet and chicken sausage with tartar sauceB – Pan fried spicy clams and bacon spaghettiPrice: $9.50 NETTThe set lunch is different for each day, with Set A – chicken and Set B

The Cafe Cartel serves breakfast sets with free flow of tea/coffee during weekends and public holidays, from about 8:30am till 11:30am. Upon order the meal, I was served a mini sweet bun, and my coffee is nowhere seen . I have to literally request for coffee. After a short while, coffee is served. It tastes Ok, and the staffs will go around refilling the drink when they see empty cup (not self-service like fast-food chain). I waited half an hour or so for my Ultimate delight ($7.50++), which inc

Very yummy food at reasonable price..Atmosphere quite good..But quite average/not up to standard service..Besides the service level that needs to be improve.. this is a great place for meals and get-together..The menu variety is quite attractive, there are lunch promo on weekdays..Spacious and modern interior, opens late .. about 11+am........................

I think for many, the main highlight for cafe cartel is the barbecued ribs. So I decide to go try it. When it was served, the meal looks impressive. The meat looks juicy. However, after the first bite, I immediately regret it. The meat is dry and hard to bite. This is especially so for the meat that is on the outside. Those in the middle are relatively ok. I like the sauce that came with the ribs though. But I won't try this again.

We happened to pass by this place and decided to go in for some desserts. They were prompt to serve us ice water and menu. The dessert menu was not very impressing, and the waffle ice cream looks the best among them. Undoubtedly, we ordered the waffle. The ice cream was smooth, not too sweet, and was a nice complement to the waffle. There was chocolate fudge on one waffle too.

My friends and I had a gathering at café cartel. I looked at their menu, my friend recommended me to the hot pasta. I decided to try their smoked duck cooked with tom yum sauce pasta. the smoked duck is really delicious. The meat is not very tender, it has some chewy factor which taste very delicious. The tom yum sauce however did not taste spicy. It taste a little like tomato sauce but somehow it taste really good. the macaroni is cooked really well, not overcooked and taste very chewy.
