Spotted along the sidewalk of Robertson Quay, Toby's Estate is one nice little cafe to spend a relaxed of afternoon, with a cup of latte, reading a book or clicking away on your laptop.
From the outside, I wouldn't be able to tell it's a cafe and "Toby's Estate" does not suggest much about what it sells too. I walked past this store about 4 5 times before and it never got onto my list of cafes until I read about it on the net.
I love this cafe, though it's a little pricey.
The full length glass windows and doors, coupled with the lightings gave a bright interior to the cafe. The whole place looked spacious and warm.
They had a long table across the centre of the cafe, something hardly seen in local cafes and restaurants. In Singapore, we are rather individualistic and we don't like to share our conversations with strangers, so even I felt a little awkward sitting there with my friend Grace, and we tried to leave seats in between us and our neighbouring patrons.
For those who like to have their own little space to do their work, they have seats looking over the Singapore river.
Authentic decorations.
Their ultra cool high tech coffee machine.
The Food
Grace got herself a Bacon Quiche. It was a salty and savoury tasting pie looking food. $8 for this small thing, I felt the pinch for her. The taste wasn't too bad though~
I bought a Cafe Latte, priced at $5. The size was alright, and the pretty cafe art made the price worth. It was rather light tasting and was just a perfect blend, though I felt there could be more fragrance to top it off.
I was a little hungry so i bought myself a Chocolate Concha which tasted quite nice. The outer bread layer was fragrant and the chocolate wasn't too sweet. However, I couldn't get over the price of $6.
The Menu
The good news, GST is inclusive in the price and there's no service charge!
The Friend
Generally, the ambience in this cafe is good, and the bright lighting makes it a really conducive place to study, read a book or surf the net (yes, free wifi!). It is worth a 2nd visit as its coffee is affordable and the interior is nice and sleek.
