The price of a small TCC latte is now $5.85 (when coffee bean increased theirs from $5.10 to $5.20 i already reduced my consumption by half). I thought i used to pay $5 plus for a slice of Big 'O' in NYDC (wasn't it, Meow?) and last weekend i choked on the cake when i saw $6.95 for a significantly reduced portion (defo smaller now) and that price is before all the plus plus plus. That's freaking $8 after all the pluses for a slice of cake and we are not even talking Hilton! Meow, I'm NOT going anymore.........I don't remember having a pay increment matching this kind of inflation rates!
But that night, i'm just too happy to have stumbled upon this place at Riverwalk, and I'm will make it my next chill out place. Reasons:
First, the pastries ARE nice.Second, the ambience is great, it's an Italian restaurant, not coffee joint, so got some standard.
Third the price of the the latte is very reasonable, below $5 and one full cup somemore.
And lastly, which is the most impotant of all.....................bwahahaha, the pastries goes at half-price after 9pm........wah, perfect for me!
I know this picture doesn't do the warm moist chocolate cake justice.....but it is indeed "ooh-la-la" complete with a scoop of cookies n cram ice-cream.......heavenly........!I also "ta-bao" a tiramisu home......before i even sink me teeth in it....i already know it's authentic....

Oh Provence has very nice breads. Another nice place for cakes is Canele at Robertson Walk. Check out website at http://www.lesamis.com.sg/webtop/canele/
But I don't remember how much is the coffee. :P
I agree though that coffee is Sg is overpriced. I had the nicest latte ever in Sydney and it only costs S$3.60. In a nice Italian cafe with superb food too.
Thanks WG, me and meow always go canele til they stop baking our (my) favourite cake. can't remember reason but quite dumb, so we don't go as much. also very few seatings, agree, so sometimes got to "dub toi" share table, so uncomfortable
