Percolate
Percolate cafe at Bedok after brunch at 216 hawker centre: the Thai black coco latte ($7.50) served in a coconut husk, the coco latte ($5.50) and a pandan kaya croissant ($4.50).
Visit to Percolate cafe after brunch at 216 Bedok Food & Hawker Centre (refer to previous post). It was full house upon reaching, a small and cosy neighbourhood cafe tucked in the Bedok North heartlands. 😋
Thai black coco latte ($7.50), something interesting on the menu, basically black coffee served in a coconut husk.
The coconut-husk serving is the gimmick that makes this one Instagram-worthy, and the coconut does lend a faint tropical aroma to the black coffee. It’s the kind of novelty drink that’s as much about the presentation as the caffeine.
Coco latte ($5.50), which belongs to the white coffee (milk-based) side of the menu, the smoother, creamier counterpart to the black version.
Pandan kaya croissant ($4.50), served after being heated up in a microwave. Felt that the croissant was so-so only, microwaving softens the layers so it loses that flaky, buttery crispness. Still prefer the ones from Tiong Bahru Bakery!
A cute little cafe for a relaxed coffee in the east, the coconut-husk lattes are worth a try for the novelty, though the pastries are skippable.
Address: 136 Bedok North Ave 3 #01-152, 460136
Hours: 9am-9:30pm
Overall: 3.8 / 5. 😋👍🏼 Fun coconut-husk coffee in a cosy heartland cafe, though the microwaved croissant let it down. Would pop by again for the drinks.
