Loysel's Toy @ 66 Kampong Bugis

Happy weekends people and a very good day to you all. We apologize for our semi hiatus due to examinations and work but we’re back for another lovely café post!
We have took the poll into considerations and we have decided to do some shout out for independent bakers selling their own cakes and such, Reviews on some art festival or theatrical show and maybe find some places of interest to chill and have a picnic, stay tuned for these updates and reviews. Finally, we fervently thank you all for your support in our blog!


So here we go! Loysel’s toy!
Preferably, alight at Lavender Station and walk for a rough 10 mintues to this cafe! :)

We have been to this café for quite a couple of times and the ambience here is simply spectacular!
Though I have to admit that the distance is rather a hassle but nevertheless it would be worth the travel.
They have a very tiny interior but there are loads of tables and chairs surrounding this café so I can ensure you that there are plenty of seats around for you to choose from. Basically on a normal weekday the café would not be as crowded as compared to a weekend but the seats outside isn’t that bad, despite it always being sunny its really windy here as well!

What I may suggest that you might want to come early in the morning like around 10am or so for their breakfast menu! It’s really worth every penny! Also I would like to mention that they have different menus on weekends and weekdays, personally I find the weekend menu much tastier. xD

Pancakes with Gula Melaka & Butter-  $6


Strawberry rhubarb cake ! Costs around $3.50( Can't recall)

Some nutella cake which costs around $4 (Can't recall)

Soy milk Mocha - $6(-$1 if you want to use regular milk )

Other than pancakes and pastries they do sell american breakfast like bacons with sausages and 
eggs on the side. Salads,sandwiches so on and so forth are available here too for a decent price!



(Oh yes there are bike rentals here in collaboration with Life cycle)
$7/hr
$12/2hrs
$22/4hrs

Greeted by a nice ambience


There are seats available as well at the side of the cafe!

Also the seats behind

(A closer inspection)


Personally its a nice place, with great coffee and definitely great people as well!
This place is definitely family friendly and we really don't mind coming back for more.
It has been the umpteenth time we visit the place but despite the friendly service and striking convos with the
customers, I rarely see the staff smile. Haha yes! Cheerios mate! Maybe we always come on a busy 
day, maybe that's why they all see so glum. Nonetheless a great cafe indeed! :)

HERE ARE SOME DETAILS YA!



(Price range $8-$15)

Rider's Café @ 51 Fairways Drive.

G'DAY, MATE! 

A big *wave* to all viewers! 
We installed a poll system on the left-hand side of our blog, kindly spare some time to vote so that we can make your stay here a better one. Only 7 more days to vote! For those who voted, thank you for your precious time and we will definitely look into it after the poll period ends. Do keep a look out for updates through our Twitter/Facebook profile. :)


You guys would have heard of the newest addition to the Café family - The Cat Café! 
If you're not really a cat lover, why not try out The Riders Café? (^_^) 


Rider's is located in the heart of Bukit Timah as well as being in the most unexpected place. Common misunderstanding: 'Rider's Café' is somewhere you can ride a horse and have breakfast/lunch - No, it is not! Sorry to disappoint anyone who is looking forward to that. The Rider's Café is located next to a Riding School, that will probably be one of the reason for it's signage. However, despite not being able to ride a horse (boohooohoooo, !) , you still can admire the beauty of the horses from the Café.


Rider's serves breakfast, lunch and dinner at specific timings, do check out the menu at their website stated at the bottom of this post.  
We went for both breakfast and dinner. However, we were not able to capture much photos of the food there. So here's a Burrito ordered at Rider's. 




For people who are looking forward to having pancakes for breakfast. This is my face when i realize there is no pancakes available on the weekends.
 *PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT PANCAKES ON THE WEEKENDS IF YOU DO NOT WANNA END UP LOOKING LIKE ME IN THIS PHOTO >*
Yes, i like pancakes.
   

Other than the food there, the route to Rider's is a rather long trip. Be prepared with your most comfortable shoes if you're going there by bus and on foot (Which is what we recommend.). However, if you're a person who dislikes walking, please dial +65 6555 8888 for cab booking. If you own a vehicle, make full use of it.


We hope you have a safe journey there as well as a lovely experience looking for it!

L'etoile Cafe @ 160 Owen Road

Hey there hello! It has been our 3rd time or the 4th time we have been here and from time to time this cafe never fails to bring a smile to our faces, so yes we have decided to do a review on this awesome café. L'etoile Café!

To get to this café you can alight at the nearby MRT, Farrer Park. From there you would have to walk approximately 5-10min on a straight path and then a left turn. After doing so, TADAAAAAA, you can see this 2 level café from a distance J
When you step in you will be exposed to the lovely interior of this café. Trust me it’s a real lovely café J So here’s the food we bought! :D
(Toast with Egg Benedict)
(Cheese Fries)

 (Crepes with chocolate syrup) (Aglio olio)
(Flavoured teas at $5.90 per pot)  
(Latte)




I have to say though, their toast is really tasty. Even though it’s just toast with some eggs on the side and some weirdo sauce spread all over it is really simple yet tasty! :D

Oh and don’t forget to try their fries and crepes! It’s really worth the money, ok maybe not so but 8 Bucks for this amount of fries, and 6 bucks for crepes this tasty? I find it kind of a lucky strike as compared to the other cafes :D
And while you’re eating or drinking you can just admire the lovely interior of this café J

It gets really crowded on the weekends especially during lunch time, but on other days it is kind of empty and if you’re lucky enough, you might be able to get some seats on the 2nd level!



*And not to forget we invited a few friends over to check this café out as well so these was what they had to say

Khairy: The cafe has a lovely ambiance and view. Their food and drinks were ravishing especially their fries.
I also like how their cafe combined a modern and old theme!
Qayyum: The place is really nice and classy but if you're low on budget this cafe might be a little problem.
Johan: It was my first time being in a place like this,all I can say is, that it was nice and it's a quiet place for relaxing.

Personally we had a splendid time having lunch here while catching up. I would recommend this cafe for families as well as the ambiance here is really comfy and nice. Not forgetting their food of course.
Cheerios!

Daily Scoop @ Jalan Merah Saga

Hello there, fellow Café Hoppers!

We sincerely apologize for not being active in handling this blog. However, we have a perfect valid reason for this. *teehee!* Well, our examinations are around the corner – yes, examinations… AGAIN! So do bear with us and continue looking out for new updates through our Twitter or Facebook profile. Alright Mate, back to business! A


Let's start off with today's main question. 

'Who doesn't like waffles with ice cream?' 

Certainly not me! Thus, for today's post, i will be introducing to you my favorite ice cream shop. 


THE DAILY SCOOP
The Daily Scoop creates all sorts of flavors, they have 40 flavors and counting! However, not all 40 flavors are in store at one shot. Therefore, if you have a flavor in mind, don't hesitate to inform the friendly staffs there about it! 
                                                                                                              


Not much of a sweet-tooth and looking for something sour to savor on?

You will definitely love the LEMON SHERBET like I do! You could also ask for waffles along with it, its rather cheap despite its appearance. It just costs around 6++ with two flavours of ice cream! :)




Well, this is just me trying not to ruin the smooth surface of my ice cream. Eventually and NOT surprisingly, it still ends up in my tummy. Hmmmmmmm....



Not only they have a wide range of ice creams, coffee,smoothies and waffles are also available here!
(Sorry for the empty cup photo though! Blame Khairil, he drank it! Grrrrrr.)

So this is how empty it can be at times. However, you wouldn't be so lucky all the time! ;)



This marks the end of my post! 
I hope you guys will search for this lovely place which is really worth the time! We can't ensure that you will share the exact experience as us but we hope that you'll have a lovely one in any way.
