The interior of the shop was well lit, with a clean modern look which was quite inviting.
After arrival, I confirmed my reservations and made my orders with the cashier. Spotted the latte art barista working on a Hello Kitty 3D latte art drink ~ nice!
Maybe because the cafe is still fairly new and going through the teething stage, the service was sort of under my expectations. Staff looked very flustered (even though the cafe was only about 25% filled), and even though I said to serve the waffles after my drinks were ready, they somehow did not register my request and decided to serve me my waffles before the drinks were ready. Hmm….
I ordered the Taro Latte with 3D Hello Kitty latte art ($4.20), Mocha ($4.50) and a waffle with ice-cream ($6.00).
The Taro Latte is great option for non-coffee drinkers. The drink does feels a little sweet towards the end, but overall the taste was decent and I could taste the taro. The kawaii Hello Kitty latte art was definitely icing on the cake, made the whole drinking experience so much more fun!
Mocha was of decent standard as commented by my hubby who was with me. Also glad to note that the prices for the drinks were quite affordable by cafe standards. The usual coffee drinks seem to come with nil (zero) latte arts, like this mocha that was served to us.
The waffle was a huge disappointment. The outsides were not at all crispy, it was sort of soft and limp when served. The vanilla ice cream was also nothing much to shout about. I will not be ordering this again the next round.
I will probably be coming back to this cafe again, only because the 3D latte art is way too cute. I do also like it that they have non-coffee options since I am not a coffee drinker, so the taro latte choice is good!
Important reminder : the 3D and 2D latte art drinks have to be pre-ordered via reservations. Check the schedule on their Facebook page and call them ahead to book.
Check Brew Maison’s facebook page (here) on the latte art artist’s timings and make a booking with them. Be very clear about your booking!
I had told them that I had 2 persons (me and plus 1) coming, one 3D latte art and the other 2D. They only got one of my reservations (thankfully the 3D latte art Hello Kitty) and missed out the other, so do be upfront and state clearly your orders.
