Loved the place, it has a nice ambiance and makes a great spot for catching up with friends. The pastries were delicious, and my iced Americano had a subtle sour note that added a bit of character. Overall, a wonderful cafe good coffee and pastries

As always, i will try to do my review as fair as i could.
FOOD/DRINKS (4/5)
I love on how they provide us with a plenty of beans selection, if you are a pour over lover. I ordered pour over manual brew on my visit. Unfortunately, they serve the coffee with a paper cup, which ruined the taste of the coffee itself. It would've been better if they also serve it with a ceramic cup for a dine-in guests. Other than coffee, they only serve you with pastries and no main course. But the pastries are really good in my opinion
SERVICE (4/5)
The staffs are doing their job really good, with no hassle. They really know on how to brew their coffee beans. But again, it would've been better if they can serve it with ceramic cup for a dine-in guests
ATMOSPHERE (4/5)
Since it is located really close to a busy orchard road, so it is a little bit noisy, but still in a moderate level where you can still talk comfortably. Seatings are also plenty, but sadly there's no seating that can support your back/lumbar.

Came here for a quick takeaway cuppa.
Ordered the ‘dark matter’ beans: Long Black. Good notes and quite robust in taste. …

10/10 one of the best coffee in Orchard area. I also love the easygoing Japanese garden vibe that allows for that balmy breeze to flow. It’s the perfect spot for quick respite after your shopping, and need a quiet space for caffeine boost.
I am loving the Dark Matter in house roast, very balanced, chocolatey flavor and aroma. It’s quite subtle, and soft and I had it as black coffee. My friend had the piccolo (and she enjoyed it though I think the roast could easily get lost with all the milk).
10/10 coffee
10/10 vibe, aesthetic
10/10 service (at 9am, could be dicey at peak maybe)
Will come back. Glad to find a good cup in Orchard givens there’s only a few of them (more chains than speciality coffee this side of town).

I ordered "Latte Large, having here". Somehow I ended up with Latte Iced. Maybe my spoken English was bad due to a blocked nose. But iced Latte S$7 tasted nice. Nice place to pass some time in the morning after my medical.
