Tea Loft

The café was finally reopened after being closed for a period of time for renovation. The outlet was painted in light blue and gold, trying to look old school English. The café offers the same menu as other Toast Box outlets. The Food Opera also reopened with new food stall outlets.
As the outlet was newly opened, the cashier was faced with problems such as unable to key in the products into the system. Credit cards and NETS machines were down too. The staff had to take orders manually and collect cash only for orders.
Golden Lava French Toast 黄金土司
Salted egg yolk custard sandwiched between two slices of golden-​brown French toast. Delectably crispy on the outside, yet fluffy on the side.
$ 4.40 with a cup of kopi or teh.
The toast was quite dense and difficult to slice through. It was the old school french toast type with thick fried egg coating the bread, not the commonly found thick toast with light coating type. The filling was the liu sha pau type, more like custard than salted egg yolk flavour. The tea was pre-​sweeten, and tasted just right.
Kaya Cake ($ 1.80)
The cake was old school type and looked yummy. But it was rather dry in texture, and one can barely taste the kaya in it.

This is the more atas coffee and tea joint under Toast Box hence the name Tea Loft. Everything is the same.
The menu is the same as Toast Box, not sure if the prices are higher than Toast Box though. There is no tea set menu here unlike other Toast Box branches where you can get a slice of cake and tea/​coffee for a lower set price.
The place tries to re-​create a Parisian café but I don’t think it works. After several years, you can see the color has faded and chips are appearing on the tables and chairs. There is not much maintenance here.
Fortunately most people come here for their kopi or teh fix which is still good. So it still gets a long line at times and a long wait for tables. Just don’t expect a comfortable luxe place here.
