Cold brew ($8.20) & Cappuccino ($5.50)!

Sunday cafe afternoon — cold brew $8.20 + cappuccino $5.50. Specialty cafe coffee pair.

We ordered:

• Cold brew — $8.20
• Cappuccino — $5.50

Total: $13.70 for both drinks.

The cold brew ($8.20) at upper-tier pricing suggests premium cold brew offering:

• Premium single-origin coffee beans
• 12-24 hour cold-water extraction
• Smooth low-acid concentrate
• Sometimes additional cold brew variants (nitro, signature blends)
• The proper third-wave specialty cafe execution

The cold brew characteristics:

• Lower acidity than hot-brewed coffee
• Naturally sweeter flavour
• Smooth body without bitterness
• Proper coffee bean character showcased

The cappuccino ($5.50) is the Italian coffee classic:

• Double espresso shot
• Steamed milk filling the cup
• Microfoam topped layer (1-2cm thick)
• Sometimes cocoa or cinnamon dusting
• The proper 1/3-1/3-1/3 espresso-milk-foam layer separation

The proper cappuccino characteristics:

• Visible layered structure
• Strong coffee character
• Velvety milk balance
• Latte art on foam surface
• Smaller serving size (150-180ml typical)

The cold brew + cappuccino pairing represents proper diverse coffee sampling:

• Cold extraction vs. hot extraction
• No-milk vs. milk-balanced
• Smooth-low-acid vs. classical espresso character
• Different temperature preferences

At $5.50-8.20 specialty cafe pricing tier, proper Singapore third-wave cafe range. The cold brew at $8.20 specifically suggests premium offering (regular cold brew typically $6-7).

Singapore specialty cafes running premium cold brew:

• Common Man Coffee Roasters
• Pacamara Boutique Coffee Roasters
• PPP Coffee (formerly Papa Palheta)
• Strangers’ Reunion
• Various artisanal third-wave cafes

The Sunday cafe afternoon coffee format is proper weekend wind-down ritual.

Overall: 4.6 / 5. 😋👍🏼 Solid specialty cafe cold brew + cappuccino. Would re-visit.
