Had the camp symmetry, which had a smooth white chocolate pudding base with truffle infused cookie crumbs on top. Really good. The buttery tart, fragrant on it's own, with the sweetness of the chocolate... Exquisite! Also had the pecan pie which had a nutty toffee like base which I liked too! Would love to try more of their flavours! The mocha wasn't too nice, a bit bitter and lacked the aroma of coffee. Iced chocolate drink was alright, not too milky nor powdery.
Small shop that can seat a maximum of 10 people selling whoopie pies! This version is really two layers of dense sponge cake with cream on top and between the cake. While I didn't shout 'whoopie!' after my first bite, it's still pretty good. The cake wasn't dry though a tad stale. It really gives cupcakes a run for their money. The cookies and cream was rather plain. I liked the red velvet more but it could have a stronger chocolate taste. $4.90 with a scoop of ice cream!
Balance of sweetness and nuttiness was perfect! Nuts tasted fresh. The tart itself is good, not too crumbly but doesn't bring much to the dessert.
The alcohol content is light here, present only in the lychees. Not sure if the rose bud had to do with it, but the whip cream had a flowery fragrance to it, didn't particularly like that. The cake is light and airy, but I probably won't get this again.
Unique up-cycled furniture, mismatched chairs, wooden tables and one-of-a-kind standing lamps give newly opened Aeiou nothing but character. Currently in their soft launch phase and set to officially open on 11 Jan, don't let the lack of a full menu deter you from checking this cafe out pronto. With adorably quaint furniture and an unbelievably laid-back vibe, this is one perfect place to stop by for an iced avocado coffee or simple black brew served in a repurposed vodka bottle. Novelty right there,
Doi Chaang Coffee brings their renown organic and fairtrade coffee to Singapore. "Doi chaang" translates to "Elephant Mountain", so named after the shapes of the hills behind the village in Chiang Rai where the coffee is cultivated. Setting up their flagship outlet at Rochester Mall, this cafe serves a variety of coffee and non-coffee based beverages, as well as a range of mille crepe cakes which come in flavours such as Tiramisu, French Vanilla and Strawberries Yogurt. The Matcha and Azuki Mille Crepe Cake and Ice Doi Chaang are recommended.
Barely a week old and located in the previous space of 7th Cylinder at Jalan Pisang, The Lab SG has already gotten our attention! Burppler Mancini Tan is thoroughly impressed and insists this is one new cafe worth visiting. He says, 'Their liege waffles with mixed berry compote and apple crisps are fantastic and pretty different from the normal Belgium waffles. Definitely coming back to try out their mains'. They experiment. A Lot. So expect innovative menu items like taro latte and apple pie tea, as well as hearty mains like the Heisenberger.
Set up by a Korean family, Nabé Bakery Cafe's popularity has led to the opening of a second outlet at Solaris Mont Kiara. From fancy cakes to biscuits to muffins and breads, this typical Korean bakery mainly uses ingredients imported from Korea. Try their cheesecake - it's fluffy and light, so you won't feel weighed down after. On top of baked goods, they serve coffee, pasta, and patbingsu - essentially the Korean version of Ice Kacang. Toppings can include fresh fruit, mochi, crushed oreo pieces, azuki beans and syrup, espresso or condensed milk, depending on which patbingsu you order!
Step into The Bread Shop and you'll be greeted by an array of baked goods, ranging from individual quiches to custard almond buns. As the first bakery in Malaysia to offer the Kouign Amann, they've done it just right. Buttery, flaky and crispy with a caramelised exterior, it's a pastry that you really want to treat yourself to. Make sure to get it when it's fresh out of the oven! Other popular items include the Banana Scotch, a pastry filled with banana and topped with caramel, and the Cinnamon Swirl.
Tommy Le Baker is a hidden gem specialising in baking authentic French breads. As a purist with an emphasis on the fermentation process of bread-making, Tommy ensures that the loaves he sells in his tiny bakery are top-notch. They're kneaded, shaped and baked on-site using quality ingredients. Specialties include their traditional French baguette and sourdough, which are truly some of the best you'll find in KL. Apart from bread, they sell quiches, tarts and sandwiches. Seating space is limited, but you can always grab loaves/pastries to go!
Helmed by pastry chef Mei Wan Tan and restauranteur Marcus Low, The Kitchen Table boasts Mod American cuisine. It's the perfect marriage; operating as a bakery in the day and serving up sharing plates in the evening. The Raspberry Coconut Crack Slices are a zestier, lighter take on Momofuku Milk Bar's crack pie - they're supposed to be as good as crack. Their Fudgy Brownies and Chocolate Chip Cookies are particularly good as well! If you're not in a rush, enjoy a slice of a tin cake with coffee or tea in this bright, clean, airy space. It's almost as if everything is good here - even their rustic sourdough.
The Klatch is located on the second story of a shophouse along Princep Street. It may be a little tricky to find, but once found, you're in for a good cuppa made with beans from Tiong Hoe Specialty Coffee, and a time of quiet in a laid back environment. Great for reading, work (they have free wifi!), and times of quiet reflection.
