The Sweet Movement sits in a cozy little corner of Somme Road, a stone's throw away from City Square mall. It is under the same flagship of D.C Bakery (or Dessert Cup Bakery from Raffles City). They now serve petite bite-sized desserts accompanying great coffee, and the serene atmosphere and environment makes The Sweet Movement a great option for a lazy afternoon read. This hole-in-the-wall dessert cafe is a one-stop dessert haven to satiate my hunger pangs for sugar cravings... and I thought it
From time to time, they will change their decorations with sweet little notes. These quirky notes are usually quotes that would provoke your thoughts, providing inspiration if you need any.Do note that these bite-sized pieces are not actual sizes as it was for their pre-launch event. Do visit their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/TheSweetMovement?directed_target_id=0 for more details! You can also message their Facebook admin, although they do take quite awhile to reply because they are rather busy with managing both The Sweet Movement and Dessert Cup Bakery.
Still, I love the service in the place as the staff is very friendly and smiley.
Vanilla Milk Jam - SGD2.80 ea, SGD10 for 4 pcs This is a delicious crispy toast topped with their homemade vanilla milk jam. It is rich in flavour and sweet at all sides! The vanilla was strong and fragrant to my tasting, I felt like I was eating crispy vanilla ice-cream.
Milk Caramel Jam - SGD2.80 ea, SGD10 for 4 pcsSimilar to the vanilla jam, a daub of caramel is added to the toast. It was a tad too sweet for me, but my friends loved it! It was as crunchy as potato chips and I think it'll make a great replacement for popcorn in the movie theatres.
Left: Nutty Seasalt Caramel; Center & Left: White Chocolate muffins - SGD3.50Forget about molten gooey lava cakes. The muffins that The Sweet Movement delivers is a perfect decadent dessert! I just can't help but want more and more. This isn't the creamy sort of paste, but it sticks true in making their muffin base the focus. The decorations are just a bonus, but the warm moist texture is really fresh as they bake it fresh daily!
The coffee has a strong aroma and is very rich. I think it's quite a strong fix which may leave me a sleepless night if I drank it too late. The froth sits perfectly on the coffee essence, and they are quite good at their latte art too!
I would prefer their latte as compared to their cappuccino because of the rich smooth finish made by the coffee. The cappuccino, as expected, was too frothy to my liking! It'll make a lovely drink for OpenRicers who desire a creamy drink.The following are their standard muffins with various designs. Each muffin costs SGD3.50, which is the market price of most muffins in the desserts industry.
I thought all was equally tasty, but if I were to make a choice, I would choose the flower. This is because of their additional white chocolate... though the rest tasted quite similar too! I love the moist base, and I could eat all 4 of them in one go. It's highly addictive, these desserts, mind you! If you're heading to The Sweet Movement, don't forget the following:
1. Bring your camera, they have cute looking desserts and the lighting is quite good to take pictures.
2. Bring a book for a lazy afternoon off the urban district.
3. Bring lots of water and get yourself hydrated from the desserts and coffee!
4. Bring an umbrella in case it rains. This is because even though the cafe is sheltered, you may be drenched if the wind blows!
