Espressoul

This is one place that you can tell the staff really put their heart and soul into making every cup of coffee. There is a saying that the coffee turns out well if the barista puts soul into it and it is very appropriate for this stall, as all their coffee tastes so nice.
It was really interesting to see how the barista made the coffee as well, his movements were so fast but i could tell that it was pretty tedious just to get that cup of coffee with foam on it. I liked that sandwich as it had a nice crunch to it yet was still fluffy in the middle.
It came full of ingredients as well, and all were fresh. They have other pastries and cakes but i did not try them that day. I loved the tandoori chicken sandwich as it was mildly spiced but yet tasted so yummy and lovely when it is hot.

Espressoul is a coffee joint located near the Supreme Court — which makes it the perfect place for lawyers and trainee lawyers to rest their weary feet before heading to do more work. The baristas are friendly, and always make small talk with you — which might not exactly be the best thing for everyone (I know how grumpy some people can get before they have had their morning coffee) — but hey, it works for me. There’s a small alfresco sitting area, where you can have your morning cigarette with yummy latte. What more can you want from a coffee joint?

I’ve to admit I wasn’t the happiest customer when I first came here because they had a barista who didn’t know his coffee well. Well I’m not a pompous connoisseur but surely you need to know what is decaf coffee if you’re serving coffee?
But I did come back because the coffee is simply good! A great balance between bitter and creamy. The last time I came here, there was a different barista — a caucasian guy — they’ve probably replaced the previous clueless filipino.
Again, the coffee quality is consistent each time I order it. I’d sometimes get something to eat, either a sandwich or a salad. I once had raisins in my caesar salad (I hate raisins!) I had to pick it out and put it aside, I don’t think it’s supposed to be in there — this was done by the previous clueless staff. I’ve also had their tandoori chicken focaccia, my expectations were low but I was impressed!
They also serve beer and cider (including Brother’s toffee apple).
I absolutely love the name of this place — it is coffee with a touch of soul. It’s ironically a really peaceful place to unwind located quietly in a busy part of Singapore. It’s opposite parliament house and just beside Funan centre.
Final verdict: Soothing place to hide from the hustle and bustle outside, just don’t tell anybody about it.

First off — disclaimer: I drink a lot of coffee and frequent boutique coffee places but I’m no connoisseur. Located opposite Parliament House and really near the Supreme Courts was this café where I dashed in today for my caffeine fix. Having never heard of this place, I was quite surprised by the standard and quality of their coffee.
There were a few of regulars waiting for their orders which is a good sign. The barista worked expertly to get it all done speedily. My café latte to go tasted brilliant — it was strong, rich and creamy with just the right amount of milk. I’d venture to say it was one of the best cups of coffee I’ve had in Singapore for awhile. A regular latte costs $ 5.40, and I’m definitely heading back.
