Department of Caffeine could have been only opened in the recent months, but it had already made its mark on the map by both coffee and brunch lovers alike. When we visited the cafe on a Sunday afternoon, it was already nearly fully occupied. We were lucky that there were still three two-seaters around.The Flat White had a nice aroma to it; it was pretty rich at the start but was also light enough in it’s body.

The Flat White had a nice aroma to it; it was pretty rich at the start but was also light enough in it’s body. Probably one of the better cups I ever had so far.
The Mushroom Medley was indeed a harmonious blend of sauteed mushrooms, brioche and egg. The sauteed mushrooms brought out much of the earthy flavour that made the otherwise plan brioche so savoury, and the egg had this runny yolk that looked like it was going to burst with a poke from the fork. If I could have anything for breakfast, this would be something that I would never get tired of.
The Brioche French Toast was a flipside from the savoury Mushroom Medley. It was something that was seemingly on the sweeter side. Served with bananas in between, the bread gave some sort of eggy yet sweet taste from the bananas which was quite unique. The choice of using Vanilla yoghurt instead of Vanilla ice-cream was a sound one; the yoghurt was able to take off some of the sweetness from the bananas and gave it a nice sour flavour to top onto the brioche. The toasted almonds was definitely fragrant and crispy and the blueberries were pretty fresh too.
The Honey Lavender Teacake surely did hit the expectations; the layer of honey on top provided this intense sweetness and there was also a heavy aroma from the Lavender on the cake. The cake was also light enough for an after-meal treat, though it could be a bit crumbly for some because certain parts fell off pretty easily. That being said though this cake is totally worth a try if you have made your visit there!For more photos and the full reviews, please visit: http://jiaksimipng.wordpress.com/2013/06/19/department-of-caffeine-duxton-road/
