For those whom have been following on the happenings of the local F&B scene via social media often, one spot that has been popping out of the late would be that of Oaks Coffee Roasters. As one would probably have guessed it from its namesake, Oaks Coffee Roasters is an establishment that is brought to us by the same folks behind Oaks Coffee Co. at Upper Thomson Road — this would be their second outlet in which also houses their coffee roastery operations whilst also running as a dine-in cafe at the same time. Oaks Coffee Roasters is located at 619H Bukit Timah Road; this would be the very same shop unit that was previously occupied by Pocket by Flip Coffee Roasters before their move to Mercure Singapore On Stevens. The space at Oaks Coffee Roasters is smaller and less elaborate than that of the Upper Thomson outlet with the new location being more minimalistic with a slight industrial twist with its slightly raw look for its interior. The menu offered by Oaks Coffee Roasters does seem simpler than that of their first store at Upper Thomson; the food menu is being split into sections dedicated to From The Kitchen and In-House Bakes, though the main focus does seem to be on the beverages options that comprises of categories such as Coffee, Filter Selections, Signature Coffee Creations, Signature Matcha Series, Matcha, Organic Tea Selections and Others.

Most of what Oaks Coffee Roasters have to offer for their selection of hot food offerings does seem to centre around toasties, melts, open face toast and quiches. We found ourselves opting for the Triple Mushroom Spinach Pesto Quiche which is being listed under the From The Kitchen section of the menu which comes with elements such as that of housemade quiche crust, Shiitake mushrooms, Shimeiji mushrooms, King Oyster mushrooms, spinach, housemade pesto and mixed cheese based on the description of the dish on the menu. Slicing down the Triple Mushroom Spinach Pesto Quiche, we did find that the housemade quiche crust is rather well made; firm enough to support the heft of everything that is atop whilst not having absorbed all of the moisture from the fillings, yet light and buttery enough that made everything felt delightful and not too jelak. There is a hint of eggy-ness and creaminess within the quiche; all that with stringy, melted cheese that laces around the mix of mushrooms that provides varying contrasts of earthiness and bouncy textures while the spinach compliments that of the housemade pesto that provides a hint of sweet basil amidst that herb-y notes that one would typically expect out of pesto — a well-executed quiche that makes for a light meal for those whom are looking for something lighter than a toastie / melts offering during their visit to Oaks Coffee Roasters.
