espressoLAB @ Bali Lane

Published by Beatrice

espressoLAB Bali Lane is now closed. But the same team who ran espressoLAB Bali Lane has set up Three Cups Coffee Co. I am sure the coffee quality still remains 🙂 Three Cups Coffee Co Address: #04-31, 1 Raffles Place, Singapore 048616 Phone: 6438 4108 Operating Hours: Mon – Fri: 8:00 am – 7:30 pm, Sat – Sun: 10:00 am – 6:00 pm Website: http://www.threecups.sg — espressoLAB Singapore is opened by a colleague-friend and his wife, on 14th July 2012, who are both passionate about life, coffee and food.  I visited them when they first opened, but they have recently renovated to a hipster feel that blends in the neighbourhood better (and rightly so since they are situated in hippy Kampung Glam and with grungy CAD just at the back), so we went back to check it out as promised! I am really proud they have come so far in 1.5 years and they have received 2 recent awards – 1) Gold Plate Awards 2012 by The Singapore Women’s Weekly – “Get your coffee fix” category, 2) Best …

Bravery Cafe @ Jalan Besar – New Cafe review

It’s a coffee trip so all reviews are on coffee. Overall – 8/10 Long black – much more acidic than regular long black but strong flavor. Flat white – Still short of my favorites like Nylons and Broers but still good! Mildly sweet, very slight nutty flavor despite being Meiji milk (usually only get this flavor with Greenfields milk).

Decently strong flavor although there is quite a lot of milk. Using Genovese beans. But personally would prefer it with less milk. They also serve water with mint leaves, lemon zest and cucumber. Good for palate cleansing …
