Kaffe Bloom | The Greens
We visited Kaffe Bloom a few days back for an Asian dessert and coffee fix. Located on the parking level of Onyx Towers in The Greens, this quiet cafe hides inside the Asian supermarket 1004 Gourmet.
Read on to find out about everything we tried.
Mango Yuzu Bingsoo
My favorite of them all, this mango yuzu bingsoo had a refreshingly fruity flavor to it. This shaved ice dessert came topped with tea flavored cream, and the mango flavor was from the use of fruit based syrups.
Japanese Cheesecake
This was my next favorite! The Japanese cheesecake is undoubtedly the best kind of cheesecake I’ve ever had, simply because it’s not too sweet and comes with no cream. While this one wasn’t jiggly like you expect them to be, it scored a full 10 in terms of taste and texture. Must have.
Coffee Bun
The coffee bun is quite a delicacy in many Asian countries. While it was slightly sweet, the coffee flavor in this one is sure to hit the right chord with coffee lovers. The inside of the bun was super scrumptious and almost melted in our mouths.
Matcha & Houjicha Green Tea Rolls
Something known, something new, these green tea Swiss rolls were wrapped up beautifully with tea flavored cream within. The green one came with matcha green tea flavored cake, while the brown one was infused with houjicha tea. Interestingly this tea is like any other Japanese green tea. But while most tea varieties are steamed, Houjicha is roasted in a porcelain pot over charcoal which gives it a reddish brown tint.
Drinks
We tried 3 of their bestselling drinks: Thai Iced Tea, Yuzu Lemonade and Korean Plum Soda. These were all very refreshing. The Korean Plum Soda was slightly bitter in taste, but had a nice fruity flavor to it. The Yuzu Lemonda was my favorite. Just like any other lemonade it was chilled, tangy and fresh. The Thai iced tea was surprisingly good too. A dewy orange hue made it quite appealing in looks, and despite the milk density it was quite light.
