    ORDERED OCT 2023: 🥐  Taro (Purple Sweet Potato) croffle ($8.50) 🥛  Pandan signature cold drink ($7.00) REVIEW: Wanted to stop by, and see how Lemuse were going! 1. Very nice to see how they've taken on my feedback of adding in knives. My friend and I were able to split our croffle easily! 2. The taro cream was more generous, covering the whole croffle after their opening weekend 🤣. This was noted and much appreciated! 3. Pandan iced drink still very refreshing. I still want to come back and try their savoury croffle! The smoked salmon has caught my eye. ----- ORDERED AUG 2023: 🥐  Taro (Purple Sweet Potato) croffle ($8.50) 🥐  Pandan with toasted coconut croffle ($8.50) 🥛  Pandan signature cold drink ($7.00) Croffle* = Buttery croissant toasted in the waffle machine, providing a crunchy exterior and flaky interior I paid $11.70 for my portion. REVIEW: ❤️ The pandan signature cold drink was my favourite! Perfectly sweet, it pulled out the vanilla, coconut, grassy tones really well. The owner also recommended it with an espresso - and my friends really enjoyed this as well. It's my first time croffle and it was an interesting experience. ❌ I feel like pandan is quite a light flavour, so the buttery croissant flavour came on too strong. ✔️ However, taro was able to tame the buttery approach, so this became our favourite! ➖  The flaky interior somehow made it a little bit too chewy. If you're splitting with friends like we did, you'll need to do a bit of tug-of-war for your piece. Hopefully Lemuse provide a knife in the future, or a portion cutting service. Otherwise, have a whole one for yourself (like a croissant)!! ✔️ The service was extremely friendly and we had 10% off because we came during the opening weekend. The owner was friendly and so happy to talk us through the menu. We felt extremely welcomed! I'd be keen to come back and try a savoury croffle and see how the buttery croissant fits in. 🌞

    If you're looking for a place for a decent coffee made by a skilled barista after business hours, this is the spot. It has become one of my favorite places. But it's not just coffee they serve; the menu is delightful. The croffle they serve is incredible! The staff is always friendly, there's pleasant music, and the atmosphere is great. While the restaurant does have the option for dine-in, the food is always served in take-away packaging. This doesn't seem like a downside to me because you can easily enjoy the croffle, for example, with your hands, and other options like ice cream and pudding are easy to enjoy with disposable utensils. I highly recommend the pulled pork croffle sandwich; it's absolutely flavorful. Innovative, tasty, and reasonably priced. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

    An absolute must visit! Gorgeous vibe, incredible staff, and of course the food is divine. The salmon croffle is a favourite for me, but the real star of the show is the baked banana pudding (not pictured because it was devoured immediately) Definitely my new favourite place to grab a treat and study after class!

    Thought the croffle may be too crispy, but no, imagine a slightly crisped up pancake which had been warmed up, easy finger food. Chose the Smoked Salmon and Crème Fraiche with fresh dill and baby capers and Spanish onion. A Lox bagel without the bagel. Delicious. 10/10 Tried the Strawberry baked pudding that has fresh berries and broken biscuits in a mousse-y custard. Yum. The Coconut milkshake was refreshing, with just a touch of sweetness. Yes. Will be back.

    Loved this cafe! All the Asian inspired flavours and dishes are a great way to try new things that you wouldn’t usually eat. The pandan iced latte was the pick of the bunch for me. Definitely coming back again soon

    Great location for catching up over coffee & dessert. We tried both their savoury croffle and pudding, they were bombastic. They have varieties of unique drinks menu, we ticked the best two - the biscoff and pandan latte. More importantly for us, It's a kids friendly cafe with a very modern ambience. Definitely will come back to try out the other menus.

    A small cafe specialises in croffles with savoury and sweet options. They also have some breakfast wraps available for savoury options. As for sweets, they have a puddings available. I like the smoked salmon for the savoury and taro for the sweet.

    Really pleased with the place especially by the top service from the guy who owns it. He’s really polite, friendly and accomodating. The croffle was crunchy on the outside yet soft in the inside. The atmosphere is also quite modern, equipped with chic tables and lighting - would recommend for a friends hang spot.
