The battle between "The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf" and "The Coffee Connoisseur (TCC)"AS you all know.
Im a 'La kopi' Fanatic.
And i decided to give my point of view between two popular cafes that has been around for some time, fighting vigorously for each other's 'loyal' la kopi-ans (us).
First, TCC.
Most famous for their boutique concept cafes rather than the drinks,
this is one of the most places that have done their marketing well.
they have satisfied us visually, but failed to satisfy our thrist for a good cuppa of coffee. *Not to even mention the cakes.
I love the sofas, the set, Hate the drinks and the taste.
the drinks failed to impress 'mua' but would give thumbs up to this new addition called the 'Matcha Latte".
The green tea was soothing and blends well with the 'not-too-overwhelming' coffee.
their cakes recently dropped standards *wasnt tat good to begin with*
So yea, wouldn't recommend their cakes. esp for birthdays.
unless desperate. hee.
But they do a wise selection of main course though. but price wise... a bit off the budget.
But, Service wise. i'll give it a 8 over 10. prompt, very good customer service and quite iniative. =] uniform looks very unique as well...
OVerall: 3 out of 5
NExt, The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf.
Frankly, though i worked there as a barista before.
Im not a fan of their drinks.
It lacked the 'Kicks' *no depth in their coffee.
But its also beause its powder base that makes it one of the easiest coffee to drink around.
I recently fell in love with their pecan latte!
sweet, fragrant and mikly/ =]
just the coffee for me!
and their cakes,
S.O.L.I.D ar!
haha.
has texture, not too sweet, and has a good variety as well.
Their new Cranberry Michel is a must TRY!!!
their are very generous with the cranberries and i love fruits! esp with chocolates!
haha best thing is, its only $3.50 per slice. and it a HUGE slice i tell... haha.
very 'auntie' hor! i know i know...
but,
overall, service is one of the not so good ones among the cafes as well...
but there are a handful who makes your day! =]
