Drips Bakery Cafe @ Tiong Bahru

IMG_4663

If you have been following my blog, you would probably know that I have been down at Tiong Bahru market & food centre to check out some of the stalls as I was planning for a hawker trail at Tiong Bahru market & food centre. In one of the trips, I decided to check out the cafe culture that is booming in the area. Initially I wanted to go to either Forty Hands or Tiong Bahru Bakery but both places were full. Disappointment was short lived when I turned the corner onto Tiong Road and found Drips Bakery Cafe.

Blackberry Almond Tart 4/5

Many reviews have mentioned about the tarts at Drips Bakery Cafe. Since my girlfriend and I were still quite full from lunch, we ordered a slice of Blackberry Almond Tart ($7.50) to share. The crumbly pastry base was really enjoyable. The fruity topping, almond cream and pastry base were layered in a nice textural balanced proportion. What we did not enjoy is the seedy bites we can find in the blackberry toppings.

Mocha 4/5

With that many cafes setting up at Tiong Bahru area, I thought the name "Little Melbourne" is rather appropriate for the buzz in the area. I love my coffee and drink like 3-4 cups a day. However I admit I do not know how to differentiate coffee and I look forward to attending coffee workshop to widen by knowledge in coffee appreciation.

Latte 4/5

Anyway I ordered by usual Cafee Latte ($4.80) while my girlfriend had the Mocha ($5.50). We felt that the barista made quite a decent cup of coffee. Drips Bakery Cafe is a nice cozy place to laze the afternoon sipping a cup of aromatic coffee and enjoying their popular tarts. All prices are nett too!
