Reviews Toast Box

A perfect tea place for Pakistanis. Their flavour of milk tea is the closest I could find to our local taste. Prices are lower than other similar cafes. I loved their honey cake. Highly recommended for Pakistani folks.

During the lockdown, this place was the one place that still gave me a semblance of normality. You see, we stayed with my elderly parents near here during the lockdown, and it was a ghost town in that 2 months of work-from-home and whatever that went by. This shop was pretty much what we got for a coffee or meal. So it was pretty grim and walking here to pick up a coffee was a highlight for the day for me. They were opened and I was one of those poor fellas that stood in line and thanked them profusely for that cup of coffee, knowing how much it must have took for them to keep that place open as I am sure they were losing money with so little business at the time and even though it was just takeaways, it still gave me the comfort that there’s still hope and things aren’t all that bad. And sure enough, we got to Phase 2 which meant we can do more and things started picking up. Within this store, you could see customers coming back in and started enjoying a cup of coffee and toast. And I see it as I came here everyday to pick up that cup of coffee. It was a progression of how we picked ourselves back up and pieced our lives back together after quite the madness of panic buying and staying home for largely the whole year of 2020. It largely reflected our moods and documented the experiences that I went through. It was cathartic, to see people sitting down enjoying themselves and life started going back to as normal as we can be, even though we were plenty cautious at the beginning. I guess all that is said and done, it’s the small things that makes this world a better place, and I would like to thank Toast Box for keeping their stores opened, I don’t know how you did it, but it surely made a difference in my life over those months. Here’s to a better 2021, over a cup of coffee, and stay safe everyone.

Lovely toast box outlet with good decorations. Was there for casual meeting with my Singaporean friends. Always love their Milk Tea and Kaya Butter.
