Situated along the stretch of East Coast Road, one can easily spot this small cafe nearby the famous Prawn Mee stall. This cafe has been much raved about as one of the few precious cafe gems in the East. Haha it was no wonder that the place was packed then.The decorations and lightings give off a rustic ambience. There were huge bookshelves at one side of the wall holding books and some merchandise like KeepCups for purchase. Seatings are quite limited. But there are some carrel-kind of table se
The decorations and lightings give off a rustic ambience. There were huge bookshelves at one side of the wall holding books and some merchandise like KeepCups for purchase. Seatings are quite limited. But there are some carrel-kind of table seatings which would be ideal for chatting and gossiping with more privacy hehe
Ordered my favorite Egg Benedict with smoked salmon ($12). There is a choice of turkey ham instead too. The hollandaise sauce on top was too generous that it felt a bit gelat. But what really bothered me was my poached eggs were a bit too well done. It was not as runny as it should, the egg yolks were a bit too solid. I would love if the brioche were to be toasted.
Had affogato for dessert. It is heavenly to combine espresso with vanilla ice cream. But, for someone like me who is particular about eating only real good ice cream so that the calories are worth it haha, it was disappointing as the ice cream were like the standard of Walls ice cream.
Nevertheless coffee was great! Good coffee never fails to make me happy even if the food were just satisfactory hehe Ordered the Mud Espresso with cold milk ($5.50) and it was GOOD! Kinda cool that it was served in a glass container thingy instead of a normal glass.
There is quite a variety of food choices. There is no GST or service charge! I would definitely return to this place, preferable on a weekday so that I can sit there longer to chill Post
