Was introduced to Dutch Colony Coffee a few weeks ago and I loved their coffee l. I was sure I had to come back for more and my work day afternoon proved to be a perfect opportunity to park myself here. The ambiance is nice, with ample sunlight, wifi and some power points.
The Coffee proved to be as outstanding as I remembered. But the Thai milk tea loaf was quite meh. The only resemblance to the Thai Milk Tea in Thailand is the sweetness of the loaf. The bake was lacking in flavour and did not have the nice tea aroma I was expecting. I'd skip this.

The subtle fragrance of the Thai milk tea in the cake plus the thickened milk tea sauce makes it a very interesting combination. Pair it with a cup of their coffee, made from their signature blend, grab a book, find a cosy space and you are all set for a fulfilling afternoon.
Address: 113, Frankel Avenue, Singapore 458230
Luckily for this Thai Milk Tea Loaf ($5) and a cuppa of Flat White ($5) which made crawl out of bed and enjoy the final day of the weekends. The best part, I need not travel far for it. Coffee was excellent as usual but I would wish for more of the milk tea sauce on the cake.

I've liked their Thai Milk Tea loaf since I first tried it earlier this year. A fragrant and moist tea cake topped with an assertively sweetened sauce and a simple crumble, this pairs really well with a cuppa black. Unfortunately several revisits taught me this first success may be accidental. The cake's annoyingly inconsistent, dry and tough on some days, flat and bland on others. If they could keep it consistent to my first visit I'd be their biggest fan.
The Thai Milk Tea Loaf taste a tad dry and I would prefer a stronger Thai milk tea flavour. It might be too sweet for some, especially when eating with the condensed milk frosting. As for the Malt Cake, it's something forgettable. Perhaps more malted milk balls will help to improve the flavour.
Feeling tired and lazy on this Sunday afternoon? Luckily for this Thai Milk Tea Loaf ($5) and a cuppa of Flat White ($5) which made crawl out of bed and enjoy the final day of the weekends. The best part, I need not travel far for it. Coffee was excellent as usual but I would wish for more of the milk tea sauce on the cake.
It's a high raved place about their coffee. Their usual beast was down today so I tried their hand brewed coffee (it's my first) and boy, I'm glad I tried it. I'll never look at coffee the same way ever again. It was so good! I also had the Thai milk tea loaf ($5), it was a little too sweet for my liking but not jelak of it. I'll definitely be back, their coffee game is damn strong. And if you like quaint, do try popping by on a weekday afternoon.
Throwback to a Sunday some weeks ago. In reality, I'm snuggled up in my comforter in bed catching up on the latest episodes of Masterchef AU – season 7 just started!
Anyway, does anyone know if Dutch Colony does their own bakes or if they're supplied from elsewhere?
Imagine a pound cake infused with heavily sweetened Thai milk tea. If you're in need a sugar/caffeine boost to drag you out of a mid-day slump, this ought to do the trick.
