There have been a variety of espresso institutions on the up and rising, and Hellu Coffee is one among them. Their location is true within the CBD, good for everybody to get their morning cup of espresso throughout rush hour.
You will discover the newly opened Hellu Coffee at Far East Square, close to the favored sandwich cease, Korio. Even although its exterior deceivingly unassuming, you possibly can pop your head by its entrance to say whats up. It is a hole-in-the-wall cafe for a straightforward catch-up with mates.
From the surface, the darkish wood panels that hugs the door entrance make the cafe look Japanese-inspired. As they’re nonetheless at present of their mushy launch, solely a portion of their menu will probably be obtainable. The remainder of it is going to be obtainable from 28 Jan 2023 onwards.
The complete frontage provides me quaint Japanese cafe vibes— peaceable and unassuming, identical to the way it appears. The small benches and tables set in conjunction with their cafe additionally acts as a make-shift office for many who have to ship out a fast e-mail.
I used to be wanting ahead to attempting out their espresso beans and pastries served at Hellu Coffee. Unfortunately, once I visited, their espresso machine was down. They nonetheless had all kinds of drinks obtainable so I settled with a Hot Matcha (S$7).
My beverage was served in a cute cup that I later discovered was handmade by the woman boss herself. She talked about that she made this in Thailand together with all her different ceramic cups obtainable at her cafe. There’s a saying that states that issues are “handmade with love”, and this love is proven in her drinks as nicely.
The luxurious high-grade powdered drink was very palatable and whisked right into a frothy suspension. Unlike some variations the place the matcha goes barely bitter after not giving it consideration, theirs remained flippantly candy and straightforward to drink.
This made me excited to check out their Signatures that might be obtainable as soon as they formally open. The attendant on the retailer went on to share with me about their Signature Creamus— a drink that I might liken to cheese bubble tea or cream bubble tea.
She describes it to have a decadent frothy layer on prime of your drink choice, turning up your typical espresso orders up a notch. From White Creamu (S$7.50) to Dirty Creamu (S$9.50), you get the perfect of each worlds whereas having fun with one other layer of added flavour.
For now, the pastry choice is proscribed to candy croffles solely, so I opted for the Dark Chocolate Croffles with sea salt (S$6). The hybrid pastry of a croissant and waffle really caught me off guard. The texture was barely extra chewy as in comparison with a typical flaky croissant, however not as dense as a waffle is, retaining an ideal in between of crispiness and flakiness.
For their savoury menu, they provide attention-grabbing inclusions comparable to Maple Bacon Croffle (S$7.9), and Spicy Tuna Croffle (S$7.90).
I can’t wait to check out what Hellu Coffee has to supply once they open up extra choices on their menu!
