“ Our Singaporean friends highly recommended this place for its Hokkaido cream puff. We visited on Tuesday afternoon around 3pm. The small cafe was full but we managed to get a table. - Hokkaido cream puff: heavenly DELICIOUS! The crust was super crispy. The star was the filling - YUMMMM! The cream was super creamy, milky & smooth. - Shiro Kuma shaved ice with strawberry syrup: it was a cute treat to beat hot Singaporean weather. Yes, it was pretty pricey for a shaved ice but I could taste that the syrup was truly homemade. The strawberry syrup was more like fresh thick strawberry puree - it was the perfect sweetness that complements the vanilla ice cream & the fresh fruits very well. I wish they gave more of the fresh fruits. I would come back for the cream puffs alone the next time I visited Singapore. ”

“ They are known for giant puff pastry, with a lot of custard in it. I haven't really gone there in such a long time, but seems like it's a good place to try it out. ”

“ *Coffee Snob Intro* When you're let go from a company the locations you frequent many many coffee shops. These wonderful roasteries provide the perfect balance of professional attitude, casual attire, and passionate delivery to aid you in your job search. I'm going to rate a bunch of coffee shops based on this metric and a few others and provide an overall rating for the experience. ---------------------------------- OVERALL: 4 stars Ambience: 4 Coffee: 4 Food: N/A (did not try) Meeting Place: 4 Working Space: 4 ---------------------------------- *Coffee Review* Baristart is a solid 4-star coffee venue ticking all the boxes! If you can handle the heat I suggest you sit outside at the slim table and enjoy the people watching in Tras Street which is an interesting distraction from your digital device ;) Inside is a very slick 'n' slim modern coffee shop which buzzes with activity. You order at the counter, take a buzzer, then wait for your coffee order to be ready back at the counter. This actually helps to keep that area free of a queue clutter --- and why are we all standing around waiting anyways when we have our stupid friend Nancy's endless insta stories to catch up on? [Note to Nancy: No one cares about your ugly cat Minxy!] If I come here to work I generally pick the spot at the high chairs, with the wall-garden, facing the front door. This maximises serenity and peripheral optics. The coffee has some solid options (usually fruity or nutty for the single origin aficionado's) and I almost always opt for the dark nutty single origin varieties as I like a dark 'n' rich roast - always sans milk. Otherwise I'll just opt for a soy latte. It's a good coffee, and definitely one of the best in the area. Also a solid place to meet for an interview or 1-to-1, as the sharp-looking surroundings should suit the business formality. NB: Tras Street itself has many shophouses which have a mixture of full-length French windows and half-length casement windows so you'll be taking photos.) ”

“ We are yelp elites from the San Francisco area so our love is made around hipster coffee shops and this place nailed it! The decor is so cute on the inside and there is plenty of seating and outlets for anyone wanting to study. The coffees are simple but very delicious. I wanted to go back everyday if I could i got the iced vanilla coffee! ”

“ Cute atmosphere (wishing there were more flexible seating options) but I brought my mom there for mother's day and the desserts were quite tasty. The latte art was adorable and the staffs were very friendly! ”

“ Hipster coffee shop known in Japan for their amazing latte art. They make everything from Hokkaido cows milk which is flown in. I was more impressed by their variety of coffee beans to be honest. The costa rican and ethiopian ones were stellar. Their affogato, well lets say its not like you're italian one, way way more ice cream, and not gelato, its a soft serve made from the aforementioned cow's milk. I'm not saying its not good, but its a affogato just in a manner of speech, I'd more call it soft serve with espresso! They have decent food options too, but its all about the coffee and milk! ”

“ Very good. Order poodle dessert. Hokkaido milk drink is good. Quick service. Good ambiance ”

“ 5 stars for the cream puff; it was so good, we went back the very next day for more. The expresso drinks were good, but the Hokkaido milk shines in the cream puff and less so in the coffee drinks (don't know about the tea-based drinks). Service was warm & professional. Barista is indeed an artist, check out that rose! They are sticklers about opening time, please respect that - don't enter before even if the door is unlocked & open; if the sign says closed, they're closed. ”
