Oriole Coffee + Bar (Closed)

Oriole Cafe at Somerset has been my favourite place in the somerset area for coffee, drinks, mains and even tea. It's a one-stop shop that is a jack of all trades (albeit master of none!), but that doesn't mean that their food & beverages are just mediocre. Believe me when I say that they have certain standards -I've tried this place for lunch, dinner as well as tea.Their current June 1for1 lunch promo is valid with every purchase of a beverage, and the complimentary dish will be the one of the

I'm always keeping a lookout for good places to have my pastas, I'm also always on my perpetual quest and food drinking expeditions for the best coffee too! I tried many cuppas, some are just beyond words and I just wish I could kick start every morning with such a wonderfully crafted caffeine quick fix. Wouldn't that be great? Then there are some I've tried, just couldn't steal my heart. I'm guessing they are just not my cup of coffee. No offense but it's just a matter of preference.One such pl

Down the streets of cafes, restaurants, bistros along town, this is perhaps one of the best coffee places you can find. Well, at least just for its coffee; there isn't much to boast of for its mains (at least for the ones I've tried).I didn't have a good impression of its main courses as I tried its prawn spaghetti sometime back and it was a disappointing shot. The pasta was too oily and the flavour got too 'jelat' soon after. I was hence abit hesitant going back there for brunch but was convinc

A dear friend of mine thought it was a good idea to get drunk on a Tuesday night. So we decided to chill out at the Oriole Cafe & Bar. My kinda drunk its caffeine drunk so that i can be sober and recall how my friend makes a fool of himself Anyway... Not only did he ordered a pint of Tiger, being the sweet tooth that he is, he ordered the sticky date pudding.That dish has more alcohol than that pint of Tiger. The alcohol content is soo strong in that lil one.Its really not to my liking. The sauc

Visited Oriole Cafe and Bar for dinner and a catch up session with friends. If you would like some peace and quiet, it's best to sit inside the cafe and it will insulate you from the music from the other bands performing at nearby bars. But if you would like to soak up the atmosphere and people watch, the outdoor seats are ideal. I decided to try their mains and ordered risotto garlic prawns ($25) which is essentially arborio rice soaked in prawn bisque and served wiht grilled garlic prawns, and

This cafe has become one of my favorite place to go for good coffee. The ambiance is so warm in the evening. I love how the lit all the candles everywhere in the Cafe. An ideal place for a date i have to say.This is one of their competition coffee, Chili Chocolate Mocha. Served with a cinnamon stick which can also be usea as a stirrer. I love how you can taste the 'spice' from the chilli but definitely not something everyone will enjoy. My friend find it too acidic for her own liking. Another o

It was a rainy afternoon, which was perfect for a cup of warm coffee, and some chocolate. So just before my chinese new year clothes shopping, I decided that I should visit Oriole.This was the first time I tried their signature Chilli Chocolate Mocha. The hot kick was timely in the cool rainy afternoon. It is pretty amazing how very unlikely ingredients (Chilli & Chocolate) can blend so well with each otherChocolate Fudge Cake. Rich chocolate cake here which you should share with a friend. I thi

oh my yum!So here sits a warm sticky date pudding and a huge scoop of vanilla ice cream in a moat of sticky caramel sauce accompanied by delicious rum soaked raisins.this was an awesome dessert choice.could you actually question that otherwise? the vanilla ice cream was thick and creamy and of course melty over the warm sticky date pudding.Everything fit like pieces to a jigsaw puzzle. A very yummy one.

We went there at about 2pm. Very nice and quiet place. This place is good for coffee (top Batista here!), but what about the food? I had to try for myself. This restaurant is too easy find, being located just beside Somerset MRT. You can choose to sit outdoors to enjoy the weather and chill, or choose to sit inside to soak in the coffee aroma.Cappucino. Tastes good. And I must say that it heart looks very good!Latte. Prawn Bruschetta. I am not really a fan of crunchy prawns, but this was good.

I've been to Oriole several times - once for dinner and once for drinks - but it never crossed my mind to give the desserts a try, until this particular evening.One of the desserts we chose was Honey Crumble Affogato ($7.50). This was a mishmash of espresso, bits of honeycomb crunch and vanilla ice cream. Coffee lovers would enjoy this one - the espresso was a real shot to the head and the honeycomb bits added that certain texture to the already soft mix of espresso and ice cream. Dessert #2 wa

The Mixed mushrooms soup ($9.80) is one of the best dishes to be served there. I have been to several restaurants where they have claimed their soup is made “in-house”; obviously they were not aware that consumers were allowed to purchase from external tooThe soup is very different from your traditional mushroom soup. Then again, most of the mushroom soup that you have been getting would most probably be processed. The soup is very light, as there is no cream.

I treated my daddy to this. It is a mocha drink and he love coffee. I like the way they present this coffee especially the design they drew on the coffee. It is not just a decoration. It also serves to make the coffee creamier. The mocha drink is nice. I had a sip of it. And, the milk design makes the coffee not very bitter. My dad loves this drink so if you love coffee like him, do try it out

Oriole Coffee launched its 3C’s Promotion: Coffee, Caramel and Chocolate. It’s a collection of drinks and desserts made from this particular trinity of sin. This special menu is only valid from May 14 to July 15, and will help take you to the next level of indulgence (and weighing scale too).I popped by their HQ outlet wedged between 313 Somerset and Pan Pac Service Apartments, the small outdoor street outside 313 Somerset where you can find many other al-fresco dining places and watering holes.

i went there for breakfast Ordered their chicken,it was overcooked was a little disappointing that it was not tender & juicy he smoked salmon scramble on thick toastthe soft toast just blended in with the egg & salmon a bit too much, resulting in each forkful being slightly mushy.& also food took ages to arrivewe waited for almost half an hour Overall i rate 7/10

WHOOO! Oriole Café & Bar for dinner Ordered st. louis pork ribs which was real good! The sauce is heavenly! For desserts, we had this chocolate fudge cake and one scoop of ice cream. Was a nice combination. The chocolate was so chocolatey, sinful but super awesome! Had a nice dinner, thank you Oriole Café
