The Broers Cafe

Nestled in a little corner near City Square Mall, stands a newly open cafe established by two former baristas. I've worked with one of them before and was amazed by his pride and passion for his brew. His enthusiastic relations with the customers is commendable too. I've heard about his dream of opening his own cafe with the experience he gained at the former cafe.

Now, after years of searching and countless hours burnt establishing his dreams, he and his partner finally opened The Broers Cafe. It may not sit at a convenient location but for all the coffee lovers, you should check out the cafe.

The minimalist decor made the cafe a cozy corner for people to enjoy their cuppa. The high stool along the bar is a splendid concept for the two "Brothers" to interact with their customers about anything. The two are quite a chatterbox and their topics are quite versatile, a good way to keep the customers engaged. The other sitting area is quite spacious too, perfect to cater for events. Though sadly The Broers Cafe had just started operations, they have yet to set up a Wifi connection. Maybe it's a good way to stray off those laptop-welding/endless-studying table hoggers like those in most cafes. They can be quite a nuisance.

How about the main objective of a cafe, the coffee beverages? The Broers Cafe serves basic espresso beverages and simple blended beverages. By far, I've tried the espresso beverage, a cappuccino and also a sip of the americano. Boy, did I missed that espresso shot pulled from a manual espresso machine. The intensity of the shot with the creaminess of the steamed milk have been greatly missed. I can no longer have that manually pulled shot at my "usual" joint and the Broers provided the ancient legacy. The art of espresso have been revived. Others may have them but not many could provide that elegant intensity. Well done Broers!

Lastly, the food offering maybe minimal but it does look appetizing. I've tried a slice of the tiramisu and it was splendid. The moist and creaminess of the cake is easy to the palette and it definitely compliment the beverages. I will definitely try the others on my next visits.

The Broers Cafe is definitely young but the essence of a great cafe experience is excellent. They maybe out of the way but it's worth the travel. Do check out the updates at TheBroersCafe.sg and their Facebook for the location.
