Teadot at Serangoon NEX isn't really that new a cafe, but certainly noteworthy as a alternative u can turn to if you are in the vicinity. In fact, it's right opposite Starbucks at NEX and this cafe is really holding its own! Where Starbucks has its signature dark mahogany wood finishing, Teadot has opted for a lighter, more lively, but still wooden finishes as well.But what really counts is it's alternative drinks menu.

But what really counts is it's alternative drinks menu. As it's name might suggest, TeaDot focuses more on the tea aspect - you'll find a mix of Yuzu, Chai Tea, Green Tea variations among the menu. In response to Starbucks' Tall, Grande and Venti, you have a quirky Puny, Regular and Generous. $6.50-$7.50 gets you the biggest cup in the mix depending on flavour.
I had the Lonely Mocha Frappe, strangely named I thought, for loneliness for one of the furthest things from my mind when I tasted the drink. It's by no means gelat, but nice and smooth chocolatey notes were clear and there's the delightful wake up call of caffeine in the after taste.
To go along, a Green Tea Cake which was decidedly matcha. Alternating layers of green tea flavored mousse and sponge with a delightful chocolate twirl seated on top for effect.My initial assessment: TeaDot really hits the spot with its refreshing drink menu and it is definitely going places with a much more expansive cake and pastry list as well. Lonely Mocha Frappuchino has just taken too spot in my heart for local mocha drinks for attention to detail and that amazing flavour profile. Definitely a place to watch!
