Degree Celsius Cafe

Latte

Suppose to try their croissants but saw this interesting item available and grabbed this instead. Totally won’t regret getting it.

They will heat it up upon order and the cheese smell immediately come out from it.

A small cafe but with super high ceiling located at 9 Penang Road, the former location of Park Mall.

They opened pretty early from 7:30am during the weekdays and glad to see the people who working nearby would come here to grab a cup of coffee.

The Strawberry Matcha Latte is worth getting for those who don’t prefer coffee option. Come with super strong taste of matcha and mix well with the milk. The strawberry syrup at the bottom give a strong and balance sweet taste to the drink, one you stir it all.

a really decent cup of matcha latte!! it had the perfect balance of matcha and milk and didn’t get diluted even though i left it aside for quite some time. also love how they don’t charge extra for alternative milk options, which is great news for lactose intolerant people like me ☺️

This could be the tastiest and most value-for-money avo toast ($9.90 nett) 😍 in SG.
Place is minimalist. Clean, comfortable and simple with enough seats 👍🏻🎉

Was pretty bummed by how Degree Celsius Cafe is located pretty conveniently from the work place, but was previously only open in the day and only on weekdays, rendering it a spot that was impossible to visit unless special arrangements are to be made — so I was pretty glad that they had since extended their operating hours to weekends so that I could check them out.

Perhaps almost everyone else was checking out Edith Patisserie Cake Bar just several units away when we made our visit to Degree Celsius on a weekend brunch service — the cafe only have two other tables occupied during our visit. Hot food selection was fairly limited but the Smoked Salmon Toast was something that appealed to me that sounded a little bit more substantial compared to the croissant sandwiches they had to offers. Whilst some may argue over the “basic” nature of the item, the Smoked Salmon Toast at Degree Celsius Cafe is actually immensely satisfying — a surprisingly well-made rendition of a very easy-to-make offering that left a good impression. For one, I did enjoy how they have seemingly used the right sourdough toast here — one that comes light and fluffy with a slight tension for some bite for the inside, but a crisp crust that did not take too much effort to chew. Spreading the right amount of cream cheese on the toast, I enjoyed how the cream cheese was not particularly thick nor cloying; complimenting the savoury notes of the smoked salmon perfectly while the capers gave a tangy, earthy burst while the raw onions were zesty and provided a zing to cut through the heavier-tasting elements for the dish. Coming with the “standard” mix of “cafe greens”, the arugula came accompanied with cherry tomatoes with a slight drizzle of vinaigrette for the dressing — gave a more wholesome feel to the item.

Some may comment on how they are located on the wrong side of Dhoby Ghaut MRT Station but I would say that’s the charm — conveniently-located without being too buzzy; a respite from the crowd with simple cafe fare and decently-pulled cuppas that make it an unpretentious hangout that is peaceful and conducive to get some work done or have quality catch-ups with friends.
