The Aglio e Olio with Chargrilled Chicken I had choose delectable dish of Aglio e Olio served with chargrilled chicken and BBQ sauce. While the pasta was wonderfully seasoned, I would have loved for it to be even more drenched in olive oil, or even blanching the pasta in a reserved pasta water to achieve a richer, creamy consistency.
The Cinnamon Latte Seeking a comforting beverage to accompany my meal, I chose a hot Cinnamon Latte. Though perhaps not the most remarkable choice, I found the taste of the latte to be both enjoyable and satisfying, a perfect pairing for my pasta.
The Cafe Tucked away in a quiet upper level at commercial building in the town, this little cafe proved to be a true hidden gem. With minimal signage adorning its exterior, it offered a peaceful haven for those seeking a tranquil dining experience. Surprisingly, during my evening visit, I found myself to be the sole customer, providing an almost private atmosphere for dinner.
The Ambience What truly made my visit to the cafe stand out was the carefully curated ambience. The selection of Japanese bossa nova playing in the background created a soothing atmosphere, perfect for those who relish solitary dining experiences. The cafe's deliberate choice to maintain a quiet ambiance made for a truly tranquil and...
Read moreA story on how I found this cafe is actually quite funny. I had to bring an old-fashioned typewriter to be fixed in this area and spotted the cafe upon walking out. Poffee Hoffee is actually in my list for the longest time therefore it was more of a coincidence.
The cafe is simple, and exudes that homey atmosphere. Love the personal touch of the owner to this cafe but what surprised me the most is the fact that they also do pour over coffee.
◾Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake was the exact kind of simple and not-too-fancy cake that I was looking for. ◾Pour Over - I'd tried both their Ethiopian and Costa Rican single origin beans and they were fantastic. Just tell them your preference and they'll make recommendations. ◾Flat white got nod of approval from her. ◾Non-Coffee from fruit juice to kombucha will appease the cranky kids
Essentially a family-owned cafe business, they have a very beautiful resident cat that roaming around freely...
Read moreNot many cafes in TSG, so it was nice finding this quiet little "hidden" cafe with Studio Ghibli vibes.
During my first visit I had the v60 filtered coffee and it was a pretty cool experience as the barista briefed me through all the different beans and methodology. I also had a special yam tiramisu which was surprisingly, pretty damn good!
For my second visit I had the aglio olio and some pastries. The pasta options are good but if you're someone with a big appetite you might want to go for meal with rice instead.
Staff are friendly. Overall, cafe vibe is pretty chill too. It's a nice place to enjoy a meal or dessert with family or friends.
To my surprise they've actually been operating for over 3 years now (if I'm not mistaken) but never really heard much about them. Would definitely recommend more TSG patrons to check out Poffee Hoffee if they...
