Had coffee and cake with hubby at 1 Caramel in 2009.Venue: On a weekend, nothing to look at, not much people going by. The display of cakes in shop was the only interesting view around the place.What we had: ala carte - 2 coffees, which were slightly more bitter than what we've had elsewhere. Banana pancakes (about $10) and choc pudding (about $10). We sat outside in the open and the ice-cream on the plates turned to a watery mess in a blink. Nothing worth mentioning about the food.

Venue: On a weekend, nothing to look at, not much people going by. The display of cakes in shop was the only interesting view around the place.
What we had: ala carte - 2 coffees, which were slightly more bitter than what we've had elsewhere. Banana pancakes (about $10) and choc pudding (about $10). We sat outside in the open and the ice-cream on the plates turned to a watery mess in a blink. Nothing worth mentioning about the food. As the pictures show, there's not much on the plates. The ice-cream balls on each plate were ungenerous, the taste nothing to remember, the presentation pretty boring.
Service: Took 25 minutes for the coffees and another 10 minutes for the food to arrive! Don't even think you're going to get your water refilled. It took 30 minutes for chlorinated tap water to be served in the first place! Did they make it all from scratch? We were the first people there at 12:30pm! We saw at least 4 staff hanging around. There was no apologies or explanation provided. Why is the service in Singapore so generally distracted and unmotivated?
Therefore, value: below average. To save time and money, better stick to the specialty cakes on display and NOT order ala carte due to the wait time. Then again, their cakes on display have had bad reviews too...
