[CLOSED] The Art Space Specialty Coffee by Artisan C.

This latte was perfect for someone with a sweet tooth. It was made well, easy to drink and not too bitter. Great imitation of creme Brûlée in drink form!

Surprised this place wasn't more packed.

First tried this during the tasting some time back at their grand opening last year, but having it again as I work on some assignments here. This is very much like having a dessert in your cuppa; a layered of torched sugar sits above your regular cup of latte so you could actually nibble on the sweet bits while sipping your cuppa for a sugary crunch. When it gets all too hard after it gets cooled down, stir it into the coffee simply to sweeten the coffee just like how you add sugar into any cuppa. Really smart, isn't it?

Kimchi burger it is ($10.90).
A combo of beef bulgogi, cheese and kimchi bursting with flavors. And not to mention those chips my oh my so delicious and addictive!

The Kimchi Croissant had too much mayo and dark sauce, making it excessively sweet while losing the kimchi's characteristic tang and spice. The crushed, dense, over-toasted croissant was the biggest turn-off though. A good croissant might've been a saver, but unfortunately...no.

I've had coffee at many cafes but this is the first time the barista personally came over to help me appreciate my cuppa better. Plus the barista is really pretty to boot! 😁 It's so nice how Artisan C Specialty Coffee, newly renamed as The Art Space Specialty Coffee by Artisan C, tries to bring its patrons a more fulfilling coffee experience by recommending beans and suggesting different ways to enjoy our coffee. On this occasion, I had the Dirty, which comprised of espresso and chilled milk ($6++). Following the barista's suggestions, I got to experience the robust and bitter espresso in my first sip, a fuller and creamier second sip and finally, a silky smooth gulp of coffee. It was fun albeit slightly awkward at first. 😂 The coffee's also excellent - nutty and not too acidic, the way I like it. While you are here, do have some savoury bites. I personally recommend their Signature Seoul Beef Burger ($10.90++), which was beef bulgogi sandwiched in a crisp and tasty bun, and came with a side of yummy honey butter fries. If you like a good spicy kick, have the Art Spice Burger ($10.90++), which is a Korean-inspired pork burger. Very tasty as well but a little too spicy for me! Last but not least, if you just want something light to munch on, the Kimchi Croissant (about $6 😐) is an odd combination that worked surprisingly well. Oh and Artisan C makes its own kimchi! Very impressive. 😌 Thank you Artisan C for hosting and Burpple for the invitation! ☕️
