Nice place to chill, still have many seats despite it being CNY day 2 and a long queue outside competitor Starbucks.
Service was good and patient, quite a stark difference from the reviews of rushed and rude service. I guess the pressure to turnaround the crowd could be different during peak periods?
Anyway we had the yuzu and chocolate cakes, both not bad.
The American and dark chocolate mocha was ok.
Overall ok place lah!

Coffee bean outlet located here is quiet, and the service is quite good. The younger staff helped on redeeming the rewards from the Coffee Bean member program.
The new matcha pistachio offering is lovely, with pistachio bits to add texture. It’s not overly sweet.
The free drink option is great, allowing me to choose from different types. It’s a great place to relax after a meal, especially during lunch when the ambiance is quieter.
