There is a lot to love about this cafe; the owners are a friendly couple who takes time to interact with each customer that passes through the door, and are passionate coffee lovers who know their stuff as well. What’s more exciting is that much of the cafe’s interior are designed by the owner, who is also in the sheet metal industry and most of the furnishings are built from scratch to suit their requirements.There are two types of blends served here; a Sumatran blend which is a sharper and mor
There are two types of blends served here; a Sumatran blend which is a sharper and more intensive blend and the Organic Fair Trade Honduras Blend, which is more buttery and nutty. For those who loves a slightly stronger taste for their Flat White ($3.50), it would be recommended for them to go for the Sumatran blend which has a stronger aftertaste.
Due to the small size of the kitchen, the items sold here are mainly sandwiches as only roast, grill and baking can be done. The Tuna Mayo Sarnie ($4.90) was pretty impressive. There was just enough tuna to the mayo used, which creates the flavour just right without having the cloying taste of sauces or the slightly fishy taste that tuna spreads may have. The cheese also had a light taste that compliments the ingredients well, and there was a healthy amount of vegetables added for the health-conscious. This could probably be one of the best options for those who are looking to eat clean; served with a side of chips.
The Earl Grey Cake ($3.50) was also pretty light and had a nice crispy crust on the top. The taste of tea was evident yet not overpowering, giving a very well balanced, aromatic flavour.
The Blueberry Lemon Slice ($4.00) looks similar to the Earl Grey Cake, but differs a lot in taste. It was zingy, but the Blueberry though fresh, can be a tad sour for some who have low tolerance for sourness.Brawn & Brains is not your typical cafe. What you are looking here is a cafe that has a lot of potential with a strong character and soul, which is something often forgotten in most cafes that have opened of the late. It's uniqueness shines through, which is definitely one of the factors that will bring me back again.
