Food was pretty good and the menu had interesting dishes and drinks. We are avid matcha drinkers and glad to say that their matcha drinks were good too.
But we’d also like to commend the service of the staff - there was an issue with one of our dishes which we only found out after finishing it, and subsequently informed the staff. She was extremely apologetic and ensured we were compensated. It was very kind of them as we’ve had poor experiences elsewhere when staff did not even apologise for similar situations. So shoutout to the sweet Filipina staff who was so kind to us - thank you for the good experience! (:
The incredible service by our server Wei Lun prompted this review. His service was the star of the show and the food came a close second. It was a pleasant experience dining in the warm ambience. As quoted by him it was truly a "made with love, delivered with passion" experience.
By the same owners who opened june coffee (this is their first outlet!)
Overall the food was pretty solid for cafe food, would recommend the beef ragout rigatoni, pasta was perfectly al dente and the onsen egg was rly gooey and complements the sauce quite well.
Truffle tater tots was alright I quite like the truffle mayo but tbh something you can replicate at home.
The strawberry matcha was what we came for and tbh it’s the same as june, I would say tho they give quite a good amount of strawberry so it’s pretty good.
Overall this meal was ~$23 per person, around normal cafe price
Finally visited September Cafe after braving the long queues! The atmosphere and cozy surroundings were totally worth it. Enjoyed an iced matcha strawberry latte, iced espresso latte, and the classic Tiramisu. Loved the Tiramisu! The espresso was more on the milky side, and the matcha latte felt like strawberry milk—though I'm still debating if it was fresh strawberry or jam paste. 🍓🍵

Today 26 Mar, revisit .
Came back again for food and dessert.
Today tiramisu taste so dry.
Carb linguine has a fishy smell.
Overall still ok but …
Came here to try their sesame latte and Iced Vanilla latte. I must say is one of the better ones that I have ever tried before.
Did not wait long for the food even though it was full house inside. The entire place was pretty small with only 12 tables. But it do gives the cosy and relaxing vibes. A good place to chill but there is time limitation to stay.
A friendly note to those new comers intend to patronised this cafe. There is a QR code at the main entrance. You are expected to scan it and wait for your name to be called in.
Overall I have no issue with their foods. Tasty and the steak was done to what I have ordered.
Great food and drink, strawberry matcha was nice and sweet and the crab mantous were delicious although the portions were quite small for the price, but that may be due to expensive ingredients. Beef ragu was also not bad.
Service leaves much to be desired though, waitress had a miscommunication with the kitchen and threw away a half portion of the beef ragu that I had intended for takeaway. I feel like there should have been some form of compensation like a discount or a voucher offered for that mistake on their part but nothing was done.
Edit: After contacting their Insta, they offered a refund for the half portion of beef ragu, which is greatly appreciated, thank you!
Great place, food is great. Came here post gym for brunch, perfect vibe. Limited seats, didn’t have queue when I came down at 1130am on saturday but the queue afterwards was long. Food is pricey but it is located in cbd so it’s expected. No complains about the food. Tater Tots half portion is more than enough for 2 pax.
Tried the aburi scallops udon and crab linguine. The scallops were fresh and added flavour to the chewy udon noodles while the linguine came tossed in a light creamy sauce that complemented the sweet crab meat. Portion size felt fair, and the plating added a nice touch of finesse.
It is a terrible experience. I ordered a vegetarian meal but I ate a piece of meat in fried mushroom. When I asked the staff there, she said she would come to the chef to check. When she came back, she granted it is a mushroom. I have been vegetarian for 20 years and I know what mushroom tastes like. I highly doubted that so I wanted to see it again, but she already threw it😅 OK now I lost the evidence and I will never know the truth. I will never come to this restaurant. Be careful if you insist to eat here. Hope you won't eat something "weird".
a decent and lively cafe situated in the heartlands of chinatown!
upon our arrival, we had to grab a queue number since it was a public holiday, and a queue is inevitable. we waited around 30-40 mins before getting the cue that it was our turn.
as we entered the cafe, it was quite packed as expected, but i was surprised at how it was not super noisy and disrupting. after my friend and i placed our orders, it came pretty quickly. i would estimate around a good 10-15 mins!
we ordered iced black sesame latte, iced espresso latte, crab linguine and smoked salmon sammie. the drinks were well made, i could taste the bold sesame and espresso flavours! however, the crab linguine did not stand out to me that much, not a bad dish, just average.
overall, my experience here was a good one, fast service, cozy environment and smooth order process! i might be back if i'm ever in the area again :)
