Joe & Dough



Not long ago,I went to Joe & Dough [@ Kallang Leisure Park] for a lil' coffee break before my Mid-year Examinations (MYE) started.Back then,I didn't have the time to blog.I had spent a peaceful afternoon,sipping on coffee and thinking about my study schedule at Joe's.Of course,there was 'that' Instagram moment (if you know what I mean).I had an Iced Vanilla latte and a scone,while my mother tried their hot latte and lemon tart.

Food Rating:
The lattes: The iced one was refreshing for a hot day.It wasn't overly-sweet and the vanilla-coffee blend was nice.The hot latte had quite a lot of foam and came with a simple,well-made foam design.
-
The lemon tart: It's tangy,sweet and had a flavorful,lemony taste.
The tart crust was crisp and worked well with the lemon curd. (Must Try)
-
The scone:Not your average scone-where you'll get bored of the plain,sticky-chewy feel.The top was glazed and golden brown.When you cut it,it's not dry or crumbly.I loved the warm,soft and light taste.You can seriously eat it on its own without any jam,butter or heavy cream.
The scone had cranberries inside and I tasted traces of orange(?).
[If I remember correctly-but it could just be me.Should any of you 
try it and taste a bit of orange,let me know in the comments.]

The service was excellent.The cashier wasn't a pushover and polite.The atmosphere was cozy and warm.The wooden elements in the room suits the ambiance too.I loved the decorations too.
The shelf behind the barista area was so pretty.The shelf had a big chalkboard with drawings and descriptions of the whole coffee bean process.Pillows,books and small plants were also on the shelf.

The pricing might come across as pricey to some but I think it's usual for a cafe.It's around the same price as Starbucks.However,some of their coffees come in a small glass (kind of like a shot-glass) and paying $5-7 for it doesn't seem satisfying.All in all,I would definitely go back to Joe and Dough for reading,coffee breaks and chats.

I hope you enjoyed reading this post.Bye for now!
