This hole-in-the-wall at Joo Chiat serves some of the prettiest craft coffee beverages we’ve seen, especially when they’re neatly lined up at the bar counter with tasting cards. The good news is that they taste as good as they look and are chock-full of flavour. Not to mention, a great deal of effort goes into making them – from using a 50/50 Colombian and Brazilian house espresso blend, to employing skill-heavy techniques from molecular gastronomy, cocktail bars, and science labs.
The menu changes every season, but a perennial favourite is the Mont Blanc ($8.50). Now in its fourth edition and better than ever, the team have refined their cold brew recipe, using fully washed single origin Guatemalan beans and a vanilla bean-infused French cream, with touches of nutmeg and orange zest laced throughout the concoction.
