Coffee shop recommended by my colleague beause they carried the coffee bean that I was looking for - Antigua, Guatemala (安提瓜花神).  This bean is mildly roasted and very smooth to the taste.

Coming to this coffee shop has been quite a hectic journey, as it is located between two MRT stops, and 2 huge blocks in.  In other words, lots of walking under the hot hot summer weather.  My first trip there was a fail because I went on a Sunday, and they are closed on Sundays.  My second trip there wasn't smooth either; I forgot my wallet.  Nonetheless, I found a way to get cash, and was able to try out their meal & coffee despite all the dreading mishaps.

 

The cafe is busy on a weekday noon, filled with employees in that area.  The cafe is well lit with wooden table, that served a suitable environment for quick grab, or an informal casual business lunch. 

Coffee is brewed using french press, and the sandwich tasted very homemade.  The sandwich, given that it's home-style aka I-can-make-it-myself-too, is a bit pricey at $240.  Coffee however, is great.

 

I recommend coming here just for the coffee and not for the sandwiches.
