Costa at Vivo
Had a coffee break at Costa. The coffee isn’t great, but I like the decor here. Also St Marc’s was too crowded and I would have been majorly tempted by the parfaits.

Chanced Upon a New Coffee Place at Millennia Walk: Commune
I’m always happy to find a new coffee place as an alternative to the chain ones like Starbucks, which I now realize make really weak coffee. Nice quiet seating area too and I guess quiet as most people haven’t discovered … Continue reading

Expected Better from Hoshino Coffee
Every time I passed this new cafe the queue was so long I told myself to forget it. This time I braved the queue. In the end I found out that part of the reason the queue is so long … Continue reading

Arguing About Which Coffee Joint makes the Best Latte
B was insisting that Jewel makes the best coffee but I was saying that I preferred what I had at Forty Hands. But I had the iced latte at the latter, so it wasn’t a totally fair comparison. We returned … Continue reading

Liang Court: Tea at Dulcet & Studio Again
Think I’ll soon be a regular here. Love the cream puffs and it also happens to be their most popular item. The rose marble cake looked pretty but I found it too strong in terms of flavour. It was like … Continue reading

Smoothest Coffee at Jewel (1 Shenton Way)
The cafe latte required no sugar at all. It was smooth with low acidity and no trace of bitterness. B is not a coffee drinker and has declared this the best coffee he’s ever had. I can’t stop hearing him … Continue reading

Okada Coffee: Japanese Speciality Coffee Place at 100 AM
A new speciality Japanese coffee place at 100 AM mall (the former Amara Hotel Shopping Centre). I had the Guatemala Blue Lake which cost S$8.50 (pretty steep). Pleasant place to sit down for a coffee and we were greeted outside … Continue reading

Plaza Singapura: French Style Crepes at Canele
The pretty name tempted me – Flowers of the Sea. Keep telling myself not to overindulge and then I do it again. French style thin crepes are so hard to resist. This came with chocolate ice cream and nutella. A … Continue reading

Can’t Rave Enough About Maison Kayser
There may be a lot more cooler cafes opening but Maison Kayser is still number one to me and I hope the feeling does not change or the service deteriorate. I guess it’s because I feel so comfortable here and … Continue reading

The Coffee Daily – New Owners?
B informed me that he had read a feature in the newspapers and that The Coffee Daily had changed hands. When we visited I was wondering why the previous owners were not there. It’s quite sad to find out that … Continue reading

Felt Out of Place at the Currently Coolest Coffee Joint – Chye Seng Huat Hardware
Even though I knew I would not fit in at that place (being the old fogie that I am), I still craved to see it for myself and try the coffee. Businesses in Singapore come and go so fast that … Continue reading

My Second Visit to Paris Baguette Cafe
Hope you’ll join me again at White as Milk to read about it. Just for the record, the last time I wasn’t very impressed even though the place has been getting a lot of hype.

Brewed Coffee by the Fountain at Marina Bay Sands

Two Visits to Marmalade Pantry at ION (With My Cousin, & By Myself)
I had no interest to try out Marmalade Pantry, although I’ve strolled pass this cafe many a time. It just seemed so open, crowded and not so cosy, and I thought the pricing must be steep. But since my cousin … Continue reading

Yet to Try Kopi Luwak
I talked about this very rare coffee and why I haven’t tried it yet. Satisfied myself with a tiny latte instead.
Finally Checked out Tiong Bahru Bakery
The sea salt caramel laced pastry I had was interesting, but the bakery was just too packed for comfort when I was there. The same issue of seats being spaced too closely together and I’m someone who likes a bit … Continue reading

A Bit of a Tight Squeeze at Dean & Deluca Cafe
