[Cafe Hopping in Singapore] Cups N Canvas
It's time for some nice breakfast/brunch to start off your weekend morning!
This time round I visited Cups and Canvas. Centrally located just after Orchard near the Selegie area, this is the cosy cafe to be in especially if
you are into the arts. The café also hosts art painting sessions and so if you
are interested in this kind of art jamming café, do consider dropping
by.
We were
there in on one weekend morning for breakfast and there was already a crowd
gathered in the café. Wow Singaporeans do wake up early huh? Or perhaps they are tourists from nearby budget hotels ^^
Immediately
upon setting foot into the café, I fell in love with the settings and the atmosphere of the café. Laid back and tastefully decorated by the
colorful paintings, this café exude a lively happy vibe. I love
the artsy feel of Cups and Canvas.
The ordering area.
Ordering is self-service and payment is done on the spot. Food will be delivered to you thereafter. No service charge.
More lovely paintings around to keep you in an uplifted mood.
The cafe has a wide variety of painting and drawing classes for children and adults, usually held on this side of the cafe. When there are no classes, this side will be opened up for customers.
Here’s our
order:
Sweet
Potato Latte $4.80.
I have not expected and was pleasantly surprised when the
Sweet Poato Latte turned out to be purple in color. The only time I have ever
tasted Sweet Potato Latte was in Korea where the cafes there served this drink
and theirs has always been brown in color and much like any coffee.
So I was
like “WOW! So Pretty!!” Especially with the latte art on it, I was smitten by
this pretty violet. Taste? It was superb
and by far the best Sweet Potato Latte I ever had. First time that I actually
tasted sweet potato chewy bits, pureed with steam milk. Caffeine free, this drink was thick and aromatic and tasted just like sweet potato.
I have
to say theirs tasted better than Korea’s version.
I adore
Salmon and so without hesitation, ordered the Chef's Special- Smoked Salmon Sandwich $13.90.
Turns out
to be good! The bread was light and crispy and was spread with salmon, mayonnaise
sauce, lettuces, onions, capers-spread and greens. Love the sandwich!! Simple and yummy.
All Day Breakfast: Eggs Ben-Addict $14.90.
Packed with homemade Hollandaise Sause ( the yellowish sauce you see is an emulsion of egg yolk and liquid butter), honey ham, poached egg,bagel, tomato and greens.

Looks yummy. Taste not bad but abit too bland. We suspected the chef forgot to add in salt :) but we managed to add in our own spices.
Cafe is closed every Monday.
