Flat white & Mocha at Tiong Bahru Bakery!
Two pretty cups of coffee at Tiong Bahru Bakery — a smooth flat white and a chocolaty mocha, both poured with rosetta-heart latte art. $13.65 for both.
Quick afternoon coffee stop at Tiong Bahru Bakery with the BB. Their coffee always looks as good as it tastes. ☕💛
Ordered:
- Flat white ($6+ish): smooth, glossy microfoam with a perfect rosetta heart pour. The espresso underneath was punchy but balanced, exactly how a flat white should be. A flat white is the milk-coffee for purists, more espresso and less foam than a latte, so the coffee flavour comes through stronger.
- Mocha ($7+ish): deeper and chocolaty, with the same beautiful heart latte art floating on top. Sweet but not cloying, more grown-up than your usual mocha, the chocolate playing against the espresso rather than burying it.
Total: $13.65 for the two cups.
Tiong Bahru Bakery is best known for its pastries (those kouign-amann are legendary), but the coffee holds its own, well-pulled and consistent, and the latte art is always on point. A lovely spot to slow down for a bit in the afternoon.
Overall: 4.1 / 5. Consistent, comforting, and pretty enough to photograph. The kind of cafe you keep coming back to even when the city is full of options. 😍👍🏼
