Cafe Review on Rokeby

Dear Freaders*,

On a hot Sunday morning, I decide to visit Rokeby since Australian cafes is one of my heartthrobs.
I just love their casual setting and approachable ambience. :)

Rokeby is nestled in the neighbourhood of Jalan Riang (about 15 minutes walk from Serangoon MRT station).


Observation - Even their signboard is made of wood. I love wood (with the right colour and finishing) because it just gives me a warm, cosy and soothing poke in my heart. Aww ^^)

Look at the amicable and lovable staff smiling at my camera. :)

In love with their furniture & decor -
Lights, shelves, tables, chairs, cute beer bottles, coffee cups, signages

"There Will Be No Working During Drinking Hours" -
Makes SO MUCH sense in the hustle and bustle of city life

Magazines of various genres to entertain the guests ^^

Aussie 2-Way Waffles (Review: 4/5) 
Your tongue (and mind) will thank you for the bursts of flavours. This is pure indulgence!
Savoury waffles with sauteed granny smith apples and orange zest syrup on the side (infused with some bourbon & maple syrup I believe) and a perfectly cooked sausage.
For me, these soft, fluffy waffles (with a slightly crispy outlayer) are a true WINNER! 
The crunchy onions and smoky bacon are the surprise elements
in this delectable treat that gives you the perfect mouthfeel!
The infused savoury cheese flavour will also swim around in your mouth.
(I wish they can add a small block of butter in this dish - it will give it a slightly
oily and buttery coat on your tongue)

Eggs Blackstone (Review: 5/5) -
Smoky streaky bacons, perfectly poached eggs, tomato, wild rocket, creamy hollandaise sauce on a soft brioche toast.
This is this best brioche toast that I have ever eaten!

Flat White (2.5/5) & Long Black -
Notable acidic note, creamy texture, goes perfectly well with the crunchy almond biscuit.
The coffee aroma starts to stir up in my mouth after
 a couple of sips.

Home-made Tiramisu with Bailey's Irish Cream (Review: 4/5) -
Super soft, creamy, wet and a moderate amount of Bailey's makes this Tiramisu a memorable one.

And, don't forget to leave your feedback on Rokeby's webpage to enjoy a complimentary
artisan coffee! :))


I would definitely recommend this cafe to anyone who loves Australian cafe or an unforgettable Brunch experience. ^^

Cheers~
