I loved Gloria Jeans ever since I was a teenager and today, I'm afraid I still do; despite the sour experience I had during my last visit (previous Gloria jeans entry). I was proved wrong this time round during my Signature Iced Chocolate experience. I love how the prices for the drinks are so much cheaper than its coffee counterparts. The biggest (Venti) beverage at starbucks would have easily costed me $8 at starbucks. However, I paid around $2+ lesser here! I havn't had iced chocolate in over
I loved Gloria Jeans ever since I was a teenager and today, I'm afraid I still do; despite the sour experience I had during my last visit (previous Gloria jeans entry). I was proved wrong this time round during my Signature Iced Chocolate experience. I love how the prices for the drinks are so much cheaper than its coffee counterparts. The biggest (Venti) beverage at starbucks would have easily costed me $8 at starbucks. However, I paid around $2+ lesser here! I havn't had iced chocolate in over a decade hence I decided to go coffee free and boy, was I pleased. The drinks were made on the spot and the wait was within 5-7mins after payment. The iced chocolate tasted rich with no artificial sweetening or sugar of any kind. Just the way I liked it. There was a generous portion of whipped cream that the staff will swirl on top upon request. I loved it! and it tastes so much better then a couple of diluted iced chocolate places I knew of! 9/10
My boyfriend had a flavoured iced tea which I stole a sip off; I found it pretty refreshing as well 8/10 The portions of both large beverages was more than sufficient during an hour at the laid back café. We also tried an aussie favourite for dessert - Strawberry Lemington which was recommended by my significant other. It was a light fluffy pastry which had grated coconut on top! It looked really pretty and tasted just as good! It was not too sweet either hence definitely diet friendly! 9/10
The staff at the outlet were very friendly and cheerful which added to the experience. There's nothing like efficient staff to go with an excellent beverage to make one's day! This outlet was located within the mall in an open space. There were no barriers of any kind and was perfect for casual conversations or coffee dates seeing that 112 Katong can never get too crowded! Perfect to people watch or catch up on reading a book since it was not too noisy either (as long as you don't mind the sound of blenders running once in a while!) =D This has got to be my new favourite coffee spot!
P.s The cakes are pretty pricy though but would be sure to try one for old time's sake
