The title of the review seems kinda contradicting but aww sadly that is what I strongly feel after a visit to this much raved-about cafe. I would gladly return for their food but definitely not their coffee!! In fact, I would strongly recommend this place for dinner especially as its location at the Foothills makes the place a great chill-out place with all the greenery around.Went on a hot Saturday afternoon, that was the first mistake. The seatings here are mostly alfresco with limited indoor
Went on a hot Saturday afternoon, that was the first mistake. The seatings here are mostly alfresco with limited indoor seats. So I could really feel the warmth and humidity around but not to the extent that I was sweating away. Okay, second mistake, I did not make a reservation. It could have been a long wait but thank God, it was only me and my friend so we were given a table for two persons provided we leave within an hour before the party who had reserved it turned up.
Third mistake, I should not have ordered their coffee. I had the worst cappuccino I ever had (even the mediocre Starbucks can afford to serve even better coffee) while my friend was also unfortunate enough to have his worst Iced Long Black ever. However, on the other hand, having said all the above (perhaps it might have sounded a bit harsh ), I think their food was quite fabulous hehe
Had the Egg Benedict ($11) and it was really good! The poached eggs were done just nice like the way it should be. I was pretty impressed at how round the eggs looked haha.. I don't remember eating Egg Benedict of which its shape could stay so round and formed Did not stay for their cakes but heard it was really not bad,, but I honestly perhaps the pricing for the cakes is a bit at the steep side ><
Conclusion: Food is good, slightly pricey though. Go in the evening if you could not stand hot humid weather like me. And forget about their coffee indeed
