Brawn N Brains

Tucked in a nook of a corner in the old badminton hall along Guillemard Road is this small, quaint cafe which seats at most 20 (more than you'll have to sit on laps). One of those Indie, Hippie cafes with less hip. They have a small menu of made to order sandwiches and wraps, some desserts and a full menu of coffee. So we shall concentrate on the coffee (Because it is A posting).

Give me Coffee and nobody gets hurt

Coffee at BnB is good for those who do not like acidic coffee. Coffee profile: (Mexican, Single origin) Medium bodied, nutty and chocolaty. Milk is steamed to a good temperature that does not kill the coffee. The baristas are consistent and are able to consistently pull great shots (DUH) which is probably why this place is packed on weekends and moderately packed on weekdays (sorry guys, they don't take reservations). 

Notice the icing crusted croissant in the background (obviously not my main focus, but hell, since it is there...) Now, for pastry fans, this croissant is a must try. It is crispy on the outside and nicely flaky inside. The icing coating has a touch of lime zest and shredded mint leaves adding a fresh, tangy and tart taste to the buttery flaky goodness within. Perfect accompaniment for a cup of freshly brewed coffee. 

BnB offers two types of blends and have baristas who are more than able to advise you on which blend will go better for the order that you've placed. Do take into considerations personal preferences when asking for recommendations. 

Price: $3.50 for the cafe latte. 

Recommendation: At least try once.
