Coffee

Finally tried @apartmentcoffee and I loved both the coffee and vibes at this chill cafe!

I had a simple Iced Latte ($6.50) which had strong aromatic notes and it was abit fruity even. Just the right amount of milk, this was an enjoyable cup! The ceramic cup given was also really pretty.

I like how they have a good number of art pieces around that added to the chill vibes they provided! Really does make you feel relaxed.

This is quite a popular cafe, so do note that they limit dining time to about an hour! This is still good for a short chill conversation with your loved ones, or short pause from your daily activities.

Will be back when I'm around in the area!

If you love your bakes, pastries and coffee, this is one cafe to go! @keongsaikbakery serves up delicious bakes and coffee in both traditional western forms so it should fit most tasting palettes!

For bakes, we got the Orh Nee Tart ($8.80) and Chocolate Indulgence ($8.80) that is both available 1 for 1 under #burpplebeyond and they were good! The Orh Nee Tart was satisfying as the paste had strong coconut flavours and was very smooth! There was so much paste on the tart which made it really rich 😍 just felt like the tart crust could have been fresher though!

The Chocolate Indulgence lived up to its name as it was decadent with its good quality chocolate flavours. Definitely very rich and perfect for chocolate lovers. We felt like the sponge cake was abit too dry too.

To accompany the bakes, their Iced Latte with Arabica beans ($6) is a good option. It was smooth, rich yet not too milky. The coffee notes were strong and the nutty profile was delightful!

Definitely a good place to just chill with your friends and loved ones 🥹

Most will be familiar with @aliceboulangeriesg 's quality desserts, but their range of speciality drinks are very much worth travelling half of Singapore for 😍

Their Alice Cream Coffee ($7.50) consists of milk, espresso and their speciality whipped cream. I must say, their rendition tastes the closest to the einspanner coffee I've had in South Korea, just that the coffee is slightly milder. The cream has a similar consistency, sweetness and richness! This is one beautiful dessert coffee to sip the afternoon away.

Alice's Iced Orange Espresso ($7.50) is for the people who love something more refreshing. Give it a little mix, and the orange juice adds a sweet tangy citrus flavour to the coffee, which is very much appreciated considering how hot Singapore weather is now! The cream on top just makes it slightly richer, which makes it such a wholesome drink! Squeeze the orange on the cream for added citrus flavour 😍

As for dessert, we got the Yuzu Apple Tart ($12) which was absolutely splendid. The tart crust itself was the winner for me, as it was so fresh and crisp, with a beautiful buttery flavour. The Yuzu flavours weren't too overpowering and not too sour either. With a great contrast of textures, this is one good dessert to share!

Can't wait to be back to try more of their drinks 😍

@up_____town is a quaint cafe with stylish designs and power plugs around for people to work in, this is one place you can consider to have your work done or a chill time with loved ones!

The Iced Latte ($6.50) came in a large volume, though I really wished they put less milk. The coffee itself was really aromatic with a very smooth nutty flavour and that was really pleasant! Will ask for less milk next time 😂

The Earl Grey Dirty ($9) was interesting, due to the blend of earl grey tea, coffee, cinnamon and biscoff crumbs. Indeed it was a party of flavours in my mouth, but sadly the coffee was overshadowed by all the other flavours. The Earl Grey definitely comes through strongly, followed by aromatics of the cinnamon and a subtle richness of the coffee. Earl Grey fans, this is for you!

With the cool vibes, I think I would still come back if I'm around the area. The large cup of Iced latte would last me through the work or conversations I'll have!

If you are looking for a quiet cafe to chill at, @clapcafe.sg is a good option 😍 It may be a little tricky to get to as it is hidden from the main road, but the coffee and ambience here makes it worthwhile 😍

The Iced Latte ($6) was one delicious cup of coffee, as not only it was strong, it wasn't sharp and was very fragrant with its nutty aroma. It had the right amount of ice and milk as well to give an extra richness.

This is one place I will come to hide from the main crowd and just have a good chill time with loved ones!

If you like some interesting coffee creations, @tomocafesg is one good place to go for. With a huge selection of both espresso and non-espresso drinks, we settled on an Iced Kuro Goma Coffee ($8) and an Iced Honeycomb Latte ($7).

The Iced Kuro Goma Coffee came in a beautiful form, with thick luxurious looking Goma cream on top of the latte. The cream itself was savoury and had aromatic rich flavours of black sesame. I loved how the savoury and nutty flavour of the cream complemented the bold aromatic flavour of the coffee so well! This is one coffee worth sipping for.

The Iced Honeycomb Latte was also delicious, as the subtle caramelised notes of the dalgona gave the coffee further depth! Do remember to take out some towards the middle of your drinking experience as it can get quite sweet towards the end 😂

Definitely coming back to try more coffee variations!

If you are looking for a good place to chill and relax, @theofficialtce_sg at Star Vista is one place to go to. The chill ambience coupled with decent coffee and a view of cute cats playing around right beside was exactly what I needed!

I had an Iced Latte ($6.50) and although it may look quite watery here, I'm glad that the coffee flavour was pretty aromatic and flavourful still. It was quite smooth and had a rounded flavour profile. Not bad of a cup!

Was around the area and chanced upon @fangkocoffee to grab a quick coffee fix! I'm glad to mention that the Iced Latte ($5.50) that we got was actually quite a big cup, definitely making the price really worth it for speciality coffee! The coffee was definitely of a strong dark roast, with a slight acidity. It was quite fragrant as well with the nutty notes, making this quite an enjoyable cup. With a chill ambience, this would make a good place to work or to have a good conversation with your friends if you are around the area! They have some interesting coffee variations that I will check out in future 😍

Right smack in the heart of the busy haji lane lies @coffeedonkee which offers mainly Japanese style filtered coffee and other variations.

As we prefer our coffee with milk, we ordered the Iced Latte ($7.50) and Iced Mocha ($8). The Iced Latte was indeed as creamy as it looked, but unfortunately the coffee flavour was not as strong as we liked and perhaps a little too milky. It was also rather difficult to taste the coffee notes within the Iced Mocha, but at least the chocolate used was rich and aromatic.

Though the place boasts a chill atmosphere, we do prefer a stronger coffee. Perhaps we ordered the wrong variations 😅

@newdelibakes is a popular pastry store known for their quality bakes, and I gotta say their coffee is pretty good as well!

We got the Iced Latte ($6) which had a beautiful dark brown colour and it tasted as good as it looked. It has a nice nutty fragrance and was not acidic at all. A very smooth cup, even the aftertaste was not too bitter. A great cup to pair their bakes!

Iced Mocha ($6) may not be part of the menu, but the owners were very kind to make one for us. It was very smooth as well, not grainy and complemented the aromatic coffee well. You can still taste the coffee too!

Great to know that there is great coffee and pastries near my house 😍

If you like your coffee, I highly recommend that you head over to Waved Coffee to have a little experience with science and coffee. Interestingly, they use electromagnetic waves to treat their coffee, which surprisingly produces a different flavour!

To have a full experience, you can get their coffee flight ($6.50), which is available both black and white. They will give you 2 small cups, 1 before the treatment and 1 after. You can choose from their selection of local blends, but we decided to go for their house blend. Their house blend is definitely a strong, aromatic one, and one significant difference I find from the EM wave treatment is that it does significantly make the bitterness of the coffee mellower, without removing their flavour notes.

Their Iced Mocha ($7.50) was splendid as well, as it was very smooth, rich and yet not surfeiting. Getting the homeground coffee blend was great for the mocha, due to its strong chocolate notes.

We tried some of their juices as well, and we loved them too! They were incredibly smooth and had a great blend of fruity flavours.

Definitely worth a visit, especially when the drinks are available 1 for 1 on #burpplebeyond !

Back at @runescoffee and I am happy to report that their standard is as good as always. I really believe this is one of the best cafes in Singapore, as it cheBack at @runescoffee and I am happy to report that their standard is as good as always. I really believe this is one of the best cafes in Singapore, as it checks all the boxes: beautiful aesthetics, relaxing atmosphere and best of all, good coffee.

I got myself an Iced White ($5.50) and I loved how it comes in a nice cup that actually helps the coffee to stay cold for a longer period of time. The coffee itself is very aromatic, boasting both nutty and chocolate notes altogether. It was very rich and stayed flavourful throughout the hour while I was there. The milk and ice ratio were also perfect.

I definitely see myself coming back here frequently, as long as I am around the area. Great for any occasion, you should pay a visit here one day!cks all the boxes: beautiful aesthetics, relaxing atmosphere and best of all, good coffee.
