    Edit: I’ve been going back for the past few weeks and they’ve been giving decent portions now. Food is great, definitely one of my favorite health food options in the area. Used to eat here quite often as the quality of food is good. When I went back to try it again recently, the food serving has become extremely small. I ordered the power bowl for $13.80 and chose chap chae for the base. The amount given to me was probably only half a rice bowl serving and the server had to intentionally spread out the base to cover the (already smaller than before) lunch box. Since I wanted to have a heavier lunch, I asked for more chap chae which was an additional $2 and to my horror, the additional $2 base only got me HALF of the initial serving. So in total, I couldn’t even get a full rice bowl serving of base for $15.80. I asked the server if I could have more base as it was really insufficient and I’ve even added $2 for extra base, and he said the $2 base is meant only for half the original serving. But he did give me a slight additional serving of chap chae after that. Really hope they can be reasonable with their food portions as the quality of food is still good.

    Food a bit too clean and not saucy enough for my liking

    I went in to grab a quick coffee this morning, as my usual café was busy. I was not impressed by the cup size and that too was left about 25% unfilled (who does that to a coffee?). The staff was friendly and Workspace Espresso Bar is neat place. Portion size is something they could improve upon. For now, I am returning back to my usual café next door.

    Writing to feedback on a cup of ice chocolate I bought from my office building in Fraser Tower. Bought an ice chocolate on 26 September with great disappointment that the ice chocolate taste more milk than I could taste the chocolate. I'm not sure if it were the usual standards of how your ice chocolate is made? Or purely is the lack of sop in this brunch? I spent a 6.5 excluding tax to receive this kind of taste, I have no choice but to go back to my office and add some more MILO powder to my ice chocolate from Cedele, while doing so, I'm asking myself why do I have to do this but in the same time I didn't want to waste the whole cup of drinks. Great disappointment. Please review your own brunch sop again.

    I was meeting someone in MBFC, and thought I'd try this new coffee place besides your usual Starbucks or CBTL. Quite like the decorations and how it's youthful and inviting on the outside, reminding me of Australian cafes and those in Bali. Unfortunately the interior of the cafe not as much. It's a little small and very echo-ey, and with the queues and chatters, coupled with the sounds of the coffee and grinder machines, makes the whole place very unconducive for meetings or working there. Would come here just to grab-and-go the next time, or if I'm desperate for a place to sit; if not, will not dine in next time.

    Best coffee and hot chocolate in MBFC. I come here every couple of days when I need to take a break. The staff are super friendly and always remember me and my order.

    I was biased towards the idea of this because it’s by Cedele, and I’m their number one fan. But at $12 for a barely filling salad, it’s frightfully expensive. There are better options around - either with tastier or bigger portions. I Guess this we pay a price for “asian/middle eastern food”.

    Portions are getting smaller and smaller. Its totally not worth for the price you pay. You may see the size of Salmon they are serving with $2.5 extra. Definitely not worth.

    Expresso is a bit more acidic than my liking.

  • 4/5 Sean M. 1 year ago on Google
    Has lost a bit of its charm but is always reliably good coffee and friendly staff

  • 4/5 Esther Yanglan W. 5 years ago on Google
    Love the food but slightly pricy for me. Avoid the crowd to go early before 1230pm.

    Nice place for a coffee catch up though it does get crowded at lunch time. Coffee is good.

    maybe i came at the wrong time but the bad coffee was no excuse it wasnt just bad, it was literally the worse $8.50 cup of coffee i ever had. Maybe the one who made the coffee was rushing and didnt realise he poured just coffee water over the ice and oat milk because it certainly wasnt a proper espresso shot in my coffee. Even by the looks of it, it did not look like an ice latte, just watered coffee over ice and milk. There were even grounds at the bottom of the cup. No honesty or pride in pulling a decent cup then dont charge so high. A good la marzocco machine with a good grinder and quality coffee beans, the only excuse for such a bad cup was the dishonesty of the barista who pulled my coffee and did not even bother to redo a new cup when it was obvious he made a mistake by throwing in watered coffee shot into my coffee
