Strangers' Reunion created many waves when it opened its doors early last year. With the coffee culture growing and the rise of the 'third wave' coffee movement in Singapore, many applauded the introduction of yet another specialty coffee joint to the scene. Fronted by Ryan Kieran Tan, two-time winner of the Singapore National Barista Championships and second runner-up at last year's World Latte Art Championships, and his brother, Dylan, who were both formerly from Papa Palheta, it is no secret that discerning coffee drinkers can look forward to a cuppa that is well-balanced with bold flavors when they drop by this cafe.Expect the usual serving styles of Flat Whites, Piccolo Lattes and Macchiatos for $3.90-$4.90 while the Strangers' signatures such as Magic (double ristretto + milk) and Schlong (double ristretto half long black) are $5.50 and $4.90 respectively, in cup sizes between 5oz and 6oz. Tea drinkers can opt for a pot of English Breakfast or Oolong for $7-$8.
Their best-seller is the Buttermilk Waffles which everyone orders when they come here. Served with either a choice of artisan greek yogurt, vanilla ice-cream or maple syrup with fresh fruits for $8.50, these waffles are worth every single calorie. Light and puffy with a rich doughy flavor that remained light and crisp right to the end. A definite must-try here!
We came here on a Monday afternoon and while the place was not insanely crowded, almost every table of this distressed rustic- looking cafe was taken. The healthy stream of customers on a weekday makes me think that getting a table here on a weekend will be even more challenging. But the good news is that Strangers' Reunion will be expanding its cafe size when it takes over the unit next door in the near future so look out for that! Meanwhile coffee lovers, enjoy the cosiness of this quaint space over a genuine good cup of coffee.Post
