So glad to have tried @nickel.sg recently, as their coffee and matcha drinks were simply fantastic 😍 to add on to that, their cafe is also really aesthetic!
The Iced Latte ($7) was a very smooth cup, and it was rich and aromatic. Chocolate and nutty notes were strong, and the milk amount was just nice. Definitely a wonderful blend that is worth sipping!
The Dirty Matcha ($8) was also a flavourful cup. The matcha powder used was of a high quality and hence it was intense and aromatic. The matcha itself was very nutty, almost to the point that it tastes slightly savoury. I actually like this kind of intense matcha and hence it worked out well for me! The Matcha was hand-wisked as well, so it was really smooth 😍 It did overpower the coffee notes quite a bit so maybe it's better to just order the Iced Matcha Latte instead!
Loved the touch of mini Madeleines as well. It was crispy and buttery, perfect with the drinks we got.
Definitely an aesthetic cafe that you should come try! Their desserts look good too!
Tried the popular @junecoffeesg recently and honestly based on the drinks we've had, we feel like it's overhyped 😅
The Iced Black Sesame Latte ($8) had a savoury black sesame cream that was fragrant at the start, but as you drink the coffee, the taste of the black sesame gets more and more subtle somehow. Coffee itself was decent, aromatic but nothing much to shout out about.
The Jasmine & Green Grape ($7.50) unfortunately fell short of expectations as the grapes used were sour and the flavour combination of the jasmine tea and sour grapes did not work out for us!
We queued for at least an hour as we had 4 people; they did not have many big tables so please take note! Just feel like you can get similar standards somewhere else without the queues...
If you are looking for good coffee in Novena, @love.joy.coffee got you your cuppa! Located near the food court in Velocity, we had great cups of coffee there that left our hearts full and belly satisfied.
Their Petit White ($4.50) was a small cup of single shot hot latte that was just so smooth and rich. The aromatic scent of the coffee was very inviting, and it had the right hazelnut and chocolate notes. Their Iced Latte ($6) was also a great refreshing cup, with just the right amount of strength and milk within. This is one cup I can sip away slowly definitely!
Can't wait to be back for another cup 😍
If you are looking for solid coffee in an aesthetic environment, look no further as @alchemist.sg had done it right. They have repurposed the old Khong Guan factory as their cafe, giving it a good mix of both retro and modern vibes!
I ordered the Iced Latte ($7) and it was such an enjoyable cup. It was not too acidic, yet strong enough with deep hazelnut and chocolate notes. It had the perfect amount of milk for the strength of coffee. I loved that it was smooth and rich, perfectly for a long sip throughout the afternoon.
If I'm around the area, I'm definitely coming back to Alchemist for a good coffee break!
With high ratings on Google, I felt like I needed to try @anhonestcup's coffee and I'm glad that I left happy without any regrets 😍
Their Iced Latte ($5.50) was an incredibly smooth cup. The coffee itself isn't sharp, but rather mellow yet rich. Nutty chocolate notes were observed and it had just the right amount of milk to pair the espresso shots! Felt like this was quite an affordable cup as well, especially when there's 10% off for healthcare and home team officers.
The ambience of the cafe was very cosy as well, though seating space can be quite limited. Definitely will be back to try their dirty!
If you like your coffee strong, this Dirty Code ($6) fits your palette just right. It came in a pretty sizeable glass, and the coffee itself was strong and aromatic. With quite heavy chocolate notes, it's almost like drinking a very rich mocha! I love how creamy and rich the whole cup was, hence an enjoyable glass to sip. Do note that it can be quite strong at the start as it's mostly the espresso shot you're drinking!
This is one popular cafe along Neil Road, so do prepare to queue abit. One cafe I would consider coming back for!
If you are looking for good coffee in the heart of town, @nicocafe.sg hits the spot with their quality coffee and aesthetic looks!
We got their Iced Latte ($5.90), and it was an enjoyable cup. The coffee was strong and aromatic, with rich chocolate notes hitting strong. It was quite a big cup, and stayed flavourful towards the end. Their Dirty Coffee ($7.90) was an interesting touch, as it was somewhat sweetened. Coffee notes were nuttier and richer here. Quite smooth as well!
I loved how the cafe has an open concept with beautifully decorated flowers. Definitely perfect if the weather isn't too hot, as you can just chill, have good conversations and do some people watching! I saw that their food items look real good as well, so will be trying them one day 😍
Recently went to Cafe Gui to get a quick coffee fix, but although it looked good, unfortunately it was decent at most 🥲
The Iced Latte ($6) was topped with milk foam, but sadly the coffee and milk ratio was off. The coffee flavour itself was faint though fragrant and there was just too much milk. I wished it tasted as good as it looked!
Their Signature Dalgona Honeycomb Coffee ($9.90) was also a disappointment, as although the coffee taste was more prominent in this one, the honeycomb tasted burnt. It was sweet but almost bitter! Really not worth the huge price tag as well 😅
Honestly would skip the coffee here 😶🌫️
One of the more popular cafes in the region, @asylumcoffeesg don't mess around with their coffee. I had their Iced Latte ($7.50) and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality cuppa I was having.
Although it was a smaller cup as compared to other cafes, the coffee was strong, yet very smooth and fragrant. Chocolate nutty notes were evident, and they put the right amount of milk for the coffee. Love how it was rich and creamy, all the way till the end. Very enjoyable!
Their cafe isn't big, but some outside seats were available. I saw many people getting their filter coffee and coffee beans itself, so this further emphasises how much people love the coffee here!
If you love your coffee, this is one place you ought to go. With numerous bean choices to choose from, @20gramscoffeesg offers quality coffee to sip the afternoon away!
We got a White Cold Brew ($8) and an Iced Milk Espresso ($7). The White Cold Brew is definitely a stronger brew, with chocolate notes coming through quite strongly. It was very rich and did not get diluted all the way till the end. The Iced Milk Espresso was more interesting, as the beans used here are more fruity and acidic. Sour notes are evident, and quite aromatic as well! However, I do feel like such fruity bean choices should be better drunk without milk.
Definitely a place for people who know their coffee! Most people there seem to drink their coffee black or filtered!
Had such a great experience at @bullockcart.coffee that day, with their cosy ambience, friendly conversations with the owners and delicious coffee.
Iced Yam Latte ($6.50) is uncommon and I'm glad that they have it. The yam taste isn't too artificial, wasn't too strong and complemented the coffee very well. You taste the rich notes of the coffee first, before getting a sweet earthy flavour of the yam. Doesn't get too diluted towards the end too!
If you are a coffee lover, I suggest asking for their Ethiopian beans for their Iced Latte ($5.50). It was strong, fragrant and the right amount of acidity. Definitely rich and enjoyable.
They don't really have seats with big tables here, so this place is a great place to just come and chill and have conversations with small parties. Definitely will be back for their quality coffee and friendly owners.
When I think of a good cup of Iced Latte, one of them has to be the Iced Magic ($6) from ae Coffee. With the right amount of milk, the fragrance of the coffee comes out strongly without being too sharp. I got the Heavyweight beans, which had the chocolate notes that were greatly appreciated.
Do note that there are no seats at this coffee stand, so it's probably takeaway only. If I were to work nearby, this is definitely a good coffee I will want to takeaway for some post lunch perk me up!
