Not the first visit to FO.H Cafe, but I figured it would have been more productive for me to do my work here rather than have my cuppa ordered at Rabbit Owl Depot instead (which is still going to be from here anyway).
It's not the first time I have had a Flat White here (which is pulled from Allpress Espresso's Carmelo blend — it promises a nutty cuppa that is also well-executed here for its smooth and creamy), but it feels like the cup has gone wayyy bigger now for $4.50 (for a single shot) than when they had first started. Kudos to the barista though; was pretty impressed with how balanced it was especially given the weird sizing of the cup ...
Set in The Woodgrove (opposite NTUC Finest), this casual, hole-in-the-wall cafe is all set to bring great coffee to the Woodlands enclave — great news for Burpplers in the far north! Burpple Tastemaker Xing Wei Chua has given their coffee (made using Carmelo blend beans from Australia's Allpress Espresso) two thumbs up, so you can be assured of a great cuppa! Wake up on a lazy morning with the Flat White (from $4.50) or a Mocha Latte ($6). The coffee is what's worth the trip here but if you're peckish, you'll be glad to know that the tiny kitchen turns out a compact menu of simple eats like croissant sandwiches ($6.90), crustless quiches ($4.90, or $6.90 with a mixed green salad) and air-fried Truffle Fries ($8).
Avg Price: $10 per person

From FOH Cafe newly-opened within The Woodgrove at Woodlands just 20mins by foot away from me (finally!). Coffee is surprisingly good, brewed with the Carmelo Blend from Allpress Espresso in Australia. A very solid cuppa that is creamy and smooth with a nutty flavour profile and a medium body; even impressed with how good the frothing is done — the cuppa didn't even start bubbling up at all. Definitely the sort of cuppa I really wished for and now have in the neighborhood I often say "it has nothing interesting in there"!
