Had the matcha latte at Coffee Bean and found it a little too sweet and overly milky for my liking, as the matcha flavour did not really stand out. I also ordered a slice of raspberry dark chocolate cake and a slice of chocolate thousand layers cake to share. The raspberry dark chocolate cake was delicious, with a nice raspberry filling that added a slight tang. On the other hand, the chocolate thousand layers cake was a disappointment. It was on the dry side and did not taste as rich or chocolaty as it looked. The staff were helpful and the service was fast.
If u want a quiet place to have coffee, so that u can do some work/ calls… and also like bright and airy cafe. This is the place. Coffee here is pretty standard among all Coffee Bean outlet. But while working, with a cuppa… u get some sunlight in an aircon environment too! Enjoy!
Studied here while waiting for my friend to join me and even bought a muffin for my friend who was joining me later. I wpuld like to emphasize that at any point in time, the place was NOT FULL HOUSE. However when my friend came the staff told us that my friend had to order a drink or more food from them to be allowed to stay. Felt that this was rather unreasonable as my friend had PAID ME IN ADVANCE and told me to HELP THEM ORDER FOOD FIRST while waiting. Hence we decided to wrap up our work and leave soon. However 5 minutes later the same staff came back again and started SCOLDING my friend about not having respect for him! This is so ridiculous and rude! He came and scolded my friend by saying that my friend was "not a customer" and accused my friend of "not having respect for him" and hence there was "no need for him to respect my friend". I have never come across such rudeness before. 1. My friend was indeed a paying customer as the muffin I had ordered earlier was paid for by them. 2. The staff had no right to scold my friend about having respect. He treated us as if we were primary school kids getting scolded by a teacher. We are not obliged to sit back and take a public scolding from you. 3. Just because someone isn't a customer, doesn't mean you don't have to respect them. So if a person is not a customer today, they cannot be a customer in the future? If a person does not patronize outlet A but patronizes outlet B, are they not a customer? 4. Since when was there a rule that said people cannot share food and order food in advance for people who are joining them later? So if a group of 5 people want to order, we cannot ask someone to order on our behalf? We must all queue up one by one? Extremely horrible experience. Will never be returning and will be discouraging other people around us from patronizing this outlet as well.
