Great meal!! Really love the smoked salmon and hash. They really nail it.
However the staff should be more careful with serving the food and take care of proper hygiene. The waitress’ nails were quite long and her nail was touching the salad while she was serving the food.
Also realise that her hand was at the brim while holding of the cup ( where we place our mouth area ). Don’t get me wrong! Her service is still good and she is fast.
However, all in all a good experience! Just need to take note :)) will come back again !

Items ordered: Academics Breakfast ($28), and Coffee w Fresh milk on the side (~$7.50)
Academics Breakfast:
Eggs with truffle slices were very fragrant and fluffy
I usually am not particularly fond of baked beans but Coffee Academics have stir fried the baked beans with onions and was actually pretty good.
Toast was thick and fluffy, good match with the runny scrambled eggs and sausage.
Sausage and Halloumi cheese were pretty mediocre on their own.
The candied bacon was very sweet, but did have its own charm so I was fairly happy with it.
Coffee with fresh milk: Found it cute that they served the milk in a small shot glass, I suppose I could have dumped the milk in the coffee and I drank them separately since I prefer black coffee. Their coffee was a tad bit sour in my opinion.
All in all, was a great ambience and experience, but pretty overpriced.

Food was average and definitely not worth the full price. Had the Academics Breakfast which costs $28, but the scrambled eggs were dry, the mushrooms were dry, the bacon was over cooked the the brioche toast old and dry. Baked beans out of a can.
Friend had the salmon hash brown option, and the hash brown was not bad.
Coffee was bad for a place that prides itself on its coffee.
Ambience is nice though.
Service was also appalling. We were not told of the 1.5h time limit and when the time was up, one of the waitresses rudely chased us out even though there were empty seats around and no queue. Our dishes were also served 10 minutes apart which is a bit odd for a cafe setting. Waiter cleared our food when we were still eating (fork was literally pierced into the food for the next bite..)
Overall, possibly worth a try with the 1 for 1, but definitely not worth the full price.

Located at second floor of Scott’s square. The place seemed to have good potential to be a solid coffee shop, especially with the on site roaster and wine on tab lol. However unfortunately my experience was not great.
I wanted a light snack to go along with my coffee. Ordered the passion fruit cruffin. It was cold and a bit stale. Then I waited for my coffee… and I waited… we asked waitress to check on our order… then I waited… my dates coffee came after twenty minutes… then I waited… then my coffee finally arrived after half hour.
So… probably won’t visit again. And certainly don’t recommend.

Had The Academics Breakfast, as pictured. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I didn't expect what was served. It wasn't bad by any means, but t wasn't $28 worth either. The Entertainer 1 for 1 offer made it more palatable.
Will not return nor recommend.

The food was okay. Had the breakfast burger and smoked salmon and hash.
Food was served fast, everything was okay except there were no more tater tots for the breakfast burger but was not informed until we asked when served. Nice ambiance and place to sit back and relax if there is no crowd.
The price point is on the higher side without the discounts. Will come back for more.

Had the savoury pancake and egg royale this time with a latte to share. The pancake is very filling since it’s not the soufflés style. Hence the serving is good for 2 persons. Enjoyed the latte here as always.

Decided to try out somewhere new for breakfast with my sis as we are both huge fans of brunch and breakfast sets. Food is great, but service really needs to improve. It was so bad until the point my sister said she rather finish eating than keep getting the attention of the service crew. There were about 20+ people in the cafe on a Monday morning at 10:30am but there was only one service crew on duty - definitely understaff. Come here for the food, but don’t expect customer service.
