I recently got a voucher to this place, and since i was in the area today, I decided take the opportunity to use it.Before i touch on the food, i must say that this place is the perfect hideout from all the hustle and bustle in the middle of town. Located just at the entrance of SomersetTripleOne (the builiding beside Scape Youth Park), Black Coffee Dessert Bar provides a peaceful setting for those who are seeking to escape the drowning crowd and noise outside.

Before i touch on the food, i must say that this place is the perfect hideout from all the hustle and bustle in the middle of town. Located just at the entrance of SomersetTripleOne (the builiding beside Scape Youth Park), Black Coffee Dessert Bar provides a peaceful setting for those who are seeking to escape the drowning crowd and noise outside. Great for quiet dates and client meetings (or any other situations in which you actually need to be heard).
It was happy hour (5-8pm Mon-Fri, 2 for $10 hosuepour) so me and company got ourselves a gin and whisky to unwind ourselves for the day. Being full from dinner, we decided to share a piece of carrot cake that the staff reccommended. That was before i eyes the red velvet cake on display, which i am going to save for my next visit. Nothing much to say about the alcohol because it's pretty much the same where ever we go. The cake sat well with us - moist and not too dense, with a fair amount of raisins and walnuts and, wait, was that pineapple chunks i thought i tasted?? My only critique would have to be about the texture, which i thought was a tad too coarse. Oh, and less mascarpone in my frosting please, but that's just a personal preference.
Other than that, the cafe also offers a range of drinks and solids, including an all-day breakfast menu. Prices lean toward the higher side, but service is also one above what you would get at your regular Starbucks of Coffee Bean stalls.
