Have heard much of this place.. i believe its one of the first few yuppie coffee place arnd arab street.. was quite hard to find.. tucked in a little corner.. but definitely worth it. When we arrived on saturday afternoon there were no seats for us so we had to leave our contact and walk around the area for abt half an hour. Place is quite small but i really like the decor.. old dark wooden table and the menu was designed to look abit 'aged'. Anyway of course we had to try the coffee.. was very
Have heard much of this place.. i believe its one of the first few yuppie coffee place arnd arab street.. was quite hard to find.. tucked in a little corner.. but definitely worth it. When we arrived on saturday afternoon there were no seats for us so we had to leave our contact and walk around the area for abt half an hour. Place is quite small but i really like the decor.. old dark wooden table and the menu was designed to look abit 'aged'. Anyway of course we had to try the coffee.. was very good! It reminds me of the one at highlander(sorry im a bit of a kopi-gui so i can tell the diff between robusta and arabica). I know the one at highlander uses both beans to give their coffee a very nicely complex taste.. similarly, the one at Maison has the same feeling, but ending with a more arabica touch, albeit abit more to the sour side. Still good. =)
The downside of visiting on the weekend is the menu is slightly mjore expensive. The weekday menu serves a meal set that comes with mains and free coffee/tea but the weekend one doesnt and the food is slightly more expensive. I took the eggs florentine-- poached eggs with a layer of spinach under and topped with bacon on english muffins; whereas angmokia took the eggs benedict with parma ham in between. Both dishes were drenched with hollandaise sauce..
it was very filling but still, its an 'atas' brunch so we paid arnd $50 together with gst..
Given that it has quite a small menu, i probably would not go back for food soon as there are a number of coffee/brunch places arnd the area to try.
