Cafe Crema in Singapore, is a Cafe that served handcrafted coffee & sandwiches. In line with the current trend of 3rd wave coffee movement in Singapore, Cafe Crema source it beans from the local roaster Highlander. This information does not come voluntarily, but continuous gentle probing and tongue twisting by Chubby Botak Koala, finally able to 'fish' it out.
Taking a break from my first shift guiding our guests through Cloud Forest, I decided that I need a cuppa. It seems the name and greenish background of this Cafe just attract me. I decided to order a latte ($6) and Chocolate Croissant.
The décor of this place is very au natural. Surrounded by the lavish greenery of Gardens by The Bay, cool air-conditioning and some relaxing couch, this is a definitely the place to take a break and enjoy the cuppa. I have to compliment Cafe Crema on their effort in providing the information from the origin of their coffee beans to the black liquid gold full of caffeine in the cup. Do check out their website for more information on their coffee beans.
The latte presented with a four layer of Rosetta latte art. First sip, it has a beautiful consistent creamy texture to it. I am not a coffee expert, but I always enjoy the well balance roast from Highlander. What a good way to perk me up. Although the coffee here is good, it is missing the OMPH factor, in comparison to other Cafe that use the same bean.
The chocolate croissant is just average. It has a good thin buttery layers to it, but the central part was slightly soggy.
Service is all right, but you probably need to be on self service type. They deliver the coffee and the croissant, but you need to get you own cutlery, serviette, etc.Overall, this is definitely a good place to recharge before / after your visit to Gardens By The Bay. On top of the handcrafted coffee, they also serve breakfast, soup & salad, sandwich and other lunch menu (check out their website for the menu). I even see some teenagers using this place to hang out and study. Thanks for serving the good coffee guys. Cheers!!
