I heard that this place was opened by the same people behind Tiong Bahru Bakery and served breakfast food, so I went down to try it out. It was hard to miss the cafe as it had a very unique entrance (with stairs) as compared to the other shops in the area. Being there around 10+ am in the morning, it was almost exclusively filled with Caucasians and we were directed to the left side with the long empty table.You can't go to "Coffee Roasters" without drinking their coffee, so I got a cup of latte
You can't go to "Coffee Roasters" without drinking their coffee, so I got a cup of latte and it was really smooth. It wasn't too bitter and I did not have to add any sugar, so I really loved it. Of course, the latte art was beautiful.
On to the main meal, I ordered the Common Man Full Breakfast. The eggs are organic and free-range and can be done in any style, so I went with poached. I felt that it wasn't really well done though as the yolk did not smoothly flow out upon breaking. On the other hand, my dad ordered the Organic Eggs Benedict (I wasn't too excited about ox cheeks) and his eggs were poached better than mine. The tomato salsa tasted kinda weird so I didn't use it in the end. I absolutely loved the hash brown and beans because they were something special. The hash brown was like a thin flat pancake and you could still see the potato in shreds. I loved the tomato-based sauce of the beans and felt they went well together. The rest were pretty standard: bacon, sausage, mushrooms.
The downside would be the prices - it costs almost 20 bucks for a dish. Even though the food was good, I didn't think it warranted such high prices. I'd prefer getting my breakfast from Tiong Bahru Bakery.Post
