Omotesando Koffee is the one café I’m willing to splurge on for a really great cuppa.
It’s definitely on the more expensive side for coffee in Singapore compared to other chains, but it is so worth it.
This is the Ice Cappuccino with oat milk (as I’m lactose intolerant). I like their concept of an iced cappuccino because that isn’t very common and they actually blend the espresso and milk together to get this extra creamy drink. It’s topped with some cocoa powder and foam from the blending.
Before they had alternative options, I did try this drink with regular cow’s milk (because not even being intolerant to lactose could stop me from trying this in all of its original glory) and it tasted even creamier! They do recommend using cow’s milk for this as the blending creates more foam on top and the foam stays foamy longer.
This drink also only comes with 1 shot of espresso, which is enough for me, so the coffee taste isn’t too strong. I like their customer service because they always make it a point to let you know all the details of the drink you are ordering - eg. how many shots of espresso it contains, how an alternative milk may change the taste and look, and whether you want any sugar added in your drink.
I come back quite often as it’s conveniently located in the CBD, perfect for a post-lunch coffee treat but it’s more of a treat than my everyday coffee place.
My 100th post goes to this famous Japanese coffee joint! Their iced cappuccino is a sweet midday pick up. They blend the ice till it’s very fine so it tastes like a creamy coffee milkshake but somehow still manages to be really light on the palate. This was good but was more like a dessert than a coffee for me
Waited for around 5mins for this which is much shorter than I expected. Feel like drinking milkshake as the coffee and the milk is mixed pretty well together. But like what the barista mentioned before I order, I would go for double shot next time so to have a stronger flavour of coffee.

Kind of surprised 😲 by the way the bubbles were formed on top of the drink. Just need to be patient.

Went there not knowing how they did their coffee. Thought the bubble cap was made through some special milk technique or what (was so curious) but noooo they just blend the capp and somehow it bubbles on its own???? SUPER COOL.

Barista recommended drinking half of the coffee before mixing in the milk foam and cocoa powder ☕️ #omotesandokoffeesingapore #burpple
While I appreciate the service and precision that went into each cup, can't say I'd be willing to shell out $8 for their Double-shot Iced Cappuccino again. #OmotesandoKoffee #FindNewFood #shotoniphonex
Double Iced Cappuccino, Cafe Latte & Matcha Latte
Unfortunately nothing to shout about, my Matcha Latte from Omotesando was a tad too milky and lacked the distinctive bitter-sweetness of quality matcha. But ultimately the smooth concoction was worth a try to see what the hype was for.
