Dropped by Baristart coffee cos we were hungry after our filming and we wanted somewhere nearby to eat. We were lucky we got a table soon without having to wait too long cos we spotted a queue forming outside when we exited. Baristart Coffee is known for its Hokkaido milk and hence the coffee here is a little more expensive than usual

Latte $6.70 (left) Espresso Tonic Float (with Milk soft serve) $9.50 (right)

That being said, I thought coffee was smooth, rounded and fragrant. I really like the Espresso tonic float too. The combination of coffee, tonic water and milk softserve was just too perfect, especially if you need a cold drink to cool down

Tonkatsu Sando $16.80

Breaded Pork Cutlet Sandwich with White Bread, Tonkatsu Sauce, Mustard Butter, Fries, Gharkins

Sando. I love Japanese sando. There is something delicious in these sandwiches. The sandos here are pretty decent. Simple white bread with a nice mustard butter sauce and nicely done tonkatsu sandwiched in between

Tamago Sando $12.80

Japanese Omelette Sandwich with White Bread, Mustard Mayo, Fries, Gherkins

The egg version was not bad either though I wish it can be a little bit runnier

Wafu Pasta $17.80

Japanese-style Soy Sauce Pasta w Spaghetti, Prawns, Bacon, Asparagus, Butter, Seaweed, Chilli

We really enjoyed the wafu pasta. It was fragrant, flavours were balanced with a generous portion of toppings

Seaweed Fries $12.80

Straight Cut Fries served with Seaweed Flakes & Wasabi Mayo

I was really disappointed with the fries. It was overdone and the seaweed taste was really faint

French Toast with Mixed Berries $14.80

Strawberries, Blueberries, Mixed Berries Compote, Cookie Crumble, Sliced Almond, Hokkaido Jersey Milk Soft Serve

Also tried the espresso tonic with coffee soft serve. I think we should just stick with milk

On hindsight, I regretted not ordering the maple and butter one. These berries were a little too sourish for me. It was so sour I separated them and didn’t touch the compote. The French toast itself was nicely done though. Crisp and soft with a nice texture. And I like they served with a side of soft serve

Cream Puff (Custard) $6

You have to give the cream puff a try too. Love the texture of the puff and the smooth custard which was not overly sweet. A takeaway idea for sweet treats!

Kuma Parfait $12.80

Chocolate ice cream, Vanilla icecream, Raspberry, Strawberry, Cookies, Chocolate Milk Pudding, Cream, Chocolate Cake Crumb, Crunch Caramel

Decided to give this insta-worthy parfait a try. Uh, I thought it was really cute and that’s about it. I didn’t really quite like it for I felt it was too much. After awhile, the flavours all tasted the same to me

Overall, I felt the coffee and food is not too bad and it reminded me of Hokkaido. If you need a place to eat and drink after your workout at Tanjong Pagar area, it’s a place that is worth considering
