Pacamara Boutique Coffee Roasters – YSK

Hey guys Kayden here! Today, I will be reviewing this little cafe tucked away in Marymount, Pacamara boutique coffee roaster! 

Ambiance:

This cafe was introduced to me by my marketing module course mate. After doing some research, I decided to give this cafe a try. Upon entering, I was quite disappointed by how most of the seats had shared long tables. Moreover, the so-called minimalist design seem more like a lack of design. In my opinion, Hvala @ Chijmes does a much better minimalist design than Pacamara. Do check them out and see if you agree with me.

Food:

These 2 items are what I ordered during my visit there. The ice-white cost $5.5 and the smores cake costs around $8.

I’m no expert of coffee but I could taste the quality in this particular cup. It tastes more refined than % arabica and the price is quite reasonable as well. One woe for environmentalists would be the use of plastic cups. In addition, why waste the money to print your logo on the cup when it is going to be throw after a single use?

Next, the smores cake turned out to be disappointing. The cake was rock hard which made it super difficult to cut and it tasted sickeningly sweet. This was made worse by the honeycomb chunks on top of the cake. Fearing that I might get diabetes, I did not manage to finish the cake… With trends going towards healthy living and going green, I couldn’t help but worry for this cafe.

Conclusion:

I’m not sure about the mains there but given the whole “minimalist” design and overly sweet cakes, I do not see myself going back there again. For those who are passing by, I would recommend going in to grab a coffee if you’re not too concerned about the use of plastic cups (:

That’s it for the review. Kayden signing out.
