Waited 5 minutes just to takeaway 4 pre-made pastries when they were only serving me at that time. - Even the customer after me got his coffee made faster than packing the pastries. I even remembered the customer - ordered smoothie but was rejected because they didn't have smoothie anymore, thought of what to buy, eventually paid his coffee takeaway and the coffee was prepared on the spot. - After the customer left, a crowd came and I went to the cashier and asked why is it taking so long. The cashier (also the barista) half-heartedly apologise saying that the staff is new (and nobody helped her at all?) - A crowd came and ordered pastries and another staff took over their packing and it was ready in just a few minutes?! But mine took damn bloody unacceptably long? Suggestion to management: using a string to tie may seem unique and special but if it takes so long to pack it, do consider alternative methods Food: The lemon tart was decent but it seems like there was too much lemon cream compared to the tart - The ratio seems a bit off for me. The red velvet cupcake's cream seems disintegrated and not cohesive (see pic). Too sweet for my liking that even my dad, whose taste buds are spoilt - he can only taste when the food is of extreme e.g. too spicy or sweet, finds it sweet. The blueberry loaf is really good - the soft texture, not too sweet, a great combination. One of the best sponge cake I have eaten. But I would not go again with that poor service and fairly below average taste for the other pastries I have tried.More
There's little to fault abt the food - cakes and pastries are great. Coffee too is done well. Similar to some of the comments below and synonymous to their Yong Siak branch, service needs improvement. When we were done with our meal and wanted to order more takeaway, the waiting staff at the counter was rude and curt in her answers almost seemingly cant wait to go home despite it being 4 in the afternoon. No thanks / pleasantries as she rudely shoved the box at us. Its a shame really, especially for customers like us who supported them even during Circuit Breaker. Today is probably our last visit.More
We stopped in for a brief dessert and coffee after having had lunch a little bit up the street. I had passed this location before and it looked great with breezy outdoor seating in front, so we grabbed a table and I went in to place our order - vanilla cupcake, red velvet cupcake, apple crumble tart and two small lattes. Firstly, my husband used wipes from my purse to wipe down our tables - mainly for our 7-yr-old - and the wipes were black afterwards, so tables hadn't been cleaned in a while, we suspect. Service was friendly and prompt, which was great, but what a disappointment with our food. To be fair, it was perfect-looking - but I'm a baker and these cupcakes tasted like nothing. So many places in SG make this mistake - pretty pastries, but completely void of taste. The vanilla cake was weak (and the place is called Plain Vanilla - so add vanilla!!) and the red velvet tasted as bland as the vanilla - no one would convince me it was a red velvet cupcake had I not seen it was dyed red. No rich chocolate taste, just blah. These things make a difference, so spending a bit more on quality ingredients goes a long way. Otherwise, the venue is pleasant with a relaxed weekend vibe.More
Has a great selection of awesome looking pastries from tarts to cupcakes that are equally tasty. Great place to chat with a nice pastry with coffeeMore
I’ve been coming here for coffee mostly, and only tried their Granola bowl w Greek yogurt. Their homemade granola is a combination of crunchy oats, toasted nuts, baked with honey. It goes perfectly well with yogurt, and is one of my best granola you will find in any cafes. They also serve light breakfast, healthy lunch sets and some pastries. Service isn’t that good though. Maybe they’re too busy most of the time so their staff can be kinda impatient.More
