EC Coffee & Bar @ Carpenter Street – A Hidden Gem for Coffee & Comfort Food ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Dropped by EC Coffee & Bar and left feeling like I’d just discovered my new go-to spot in town! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with just the right mix of cozy and chic — perfect for both a casual catch-up or a quiet solo meal.
I ordered a Latte, and wow — it came with beautifully done latte art that almost made me not want to drink it (almost 😏). Smooth, well-balanced, and aromatic — definitely one of the better lattes I’ve had around Carpenter Street.
For mains, I went with the medium-rare sirloin, and it was heaven on a plate. Juicy, tender, and cooked to perfection — each bite was melt-in-your-mouth goodness. It paired so well with the cozy café vibes that I almost forgot I was still in the city.
And then came dessert: their homemade chocolate cake. According to the young and sweet lady boss, lower in sugar (less sinful 😅) Rich, moist, and decadent without being overly sweet — the kind of cake that makes you pause mid-conversation just to savour the moment. Honestly, pure bliss 🍫✨.
Service was friendly, the pacing of food was just right, and everything felt thoughtfully done. Whether you’re here for a coffee break, a hearty meal, or just to indulge your sweet tooth, EC Coffee & Bar delivers big time.
⚠️Verdict: Heaven in every bite and sip. Highly recommend this spot to friends and loving couples — your secret dating space! Trust me, one visit won’t...

The rating was a solid 5 stars so I had high expectations. But when the coffee arrived mediocre, I was wondering why the ratings and my experience did not tally. I got my answer when the staff approached and asked us to leave a 5 star review for a free cheesecake. (The staff returned again later to ask if we have done the review yet, which we rejected.)
“EC” in their name stands for entrepreneur chick, and they are trying to compete in a sea of established F&B players. To be competitive, a flood of fake 5 star reviews won’t help, but honest constructive feedback.
The coffee seems to be overly extracted as it didn’t really have much of a flavour profile. For a place that has “coffee bar” in its name, I would have expected a whole lot better. The cinnamon french toast was also really dry and had a strange texture (like pound cake, when it should be more bread-like).
House-made mushroom soup was average but the bread that came with it was really good.
While the staff was friendly and helpful with my questions about food allergies, they would only speak in mandarin and could barely speak any english. 🥲 I think basic english proficiency should be the bare...
Read moreFrom the moment you step into EC COFFEE BAR, you’re greeted with the warm aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the welcoming smiles of the staff. This cozy little spot effortlessly combines a relaxing atmosphere with a menu that excites the taste buds.
The food is nothing short of spectacular. I tried their signature avocado toast, which was perfectly seasoned and topped with a poached egg cooked to perfection. Their pastries? Heavenly. The flaky croissants and melt-in-your-mouth brownies are simply irresistible.
But what truly sets EC COFFE apart is their coffee. I ordered a flat white, and it was the smoothest, creamiest cup I’ve ever had—clearly made with love and top-quality beans.
Service here is exceptional. The staff is attentive without being intrusive, and they genuinely care about your experience. Whether you’re catching up with friends or diving into a good book, Cafe Bliss offers the perfect ambiance.
Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a spot that feels like home while delivering culinary excellence. I’ll...
