Yellow Cup Coffee follows the series of Third Wave Coffee Movement cafes that have opened around Singapore of the late, which aims to gather coffee enthusiasts together and educate patrons about coffee. According to the store manager, the reason behind the name was the definition of “yellow” on Wikipedia, which was the colour of gold. The owners wanted to serve the gold standard of coffee to their patrons.
In order to serve the gold standard of coffee, the owners invested in a La Marzocco STRADA machine, which is a top-of-the-line coffee machine that has automatic pressure profile that ensures the beans are not overextracted or underextracted for a rich aroma.
The only mains for the day were Croissant Scandinavian and Brioche Scandinavian. Both comes with Smoked Salmon. The Brioche Scandinavian ($9.00) came with vegetables in between, as well as Dijon Mustard spread. The smoked salmon was fresh, though the Brioche although toasted was rather soft and fluffy rather than crisp on the top. People whom dislike mustard should find the Dijon Mustard spread acceptable, for it was very mild in numbness. Usually garden salad would be served but due to Chinese New Year where suppliers are not open, it was replaced by Garlic Butter with cucumbers, which was pretty unique and flavourful.
The Croissant Scandinavian ($9.00) was largely similar to the Brioche Scandinavian as both contains almost the same ingredients, less the Dijon Mustard and replacing the Brioche with a Croissant. The Croissant was fluffy and flaky, and seemed less sickening to eat as it was not overly buttery.
With coffee coming out from such an expensive machine, we held high expectations for their coffee. The blend used that day was a mix from Tasmania, Ethiopia and Nicaragua, which is said to be bright and tangy. We loved how smooth the Flat White ($5.00) was; definitely the silkiest and richest that we ever had which was aromatic and creamy at the same time.
