On the way to a different café, I stumbled upon Chef’s Palette. From the outside Chef’s Palette has all the markings of an inner-city hipster bar, only it’s NOT! I was intrigued and as if he read my mind, my husband offered to have our afternoon coffee here instead of the other café that we initially planned. Soothing Jazz music, exposed brick wall, dimly lit lightings and leather couch interior with vintage wooden tables giving this place a romantic yet rustic and tavern slash whisky bar kind of ambience. A glass counter at the café’s entrance is filled with an array of desserts, cakes, pies, slices and other sweet delicacies. To my delight, the Blueberry Cheesecake we had was absolutely yum! Creamy and light without being overly sweet. We also had Apple Slice which was good but not a stand-out. The Green Tea Tiramisu Jar was light with a lovely strong green tea flavour. But it was the Champagne Watermelon Cake that steals the spotlight. It was fresh and light and fluffy and everything you want a delicious cake to be. I happened to take away the cake, because I already ate too much of their desserts and I enjoyed it at home with a glass of French Sparkling Rosé, heavenly! Their coffee was not bad either, I genuinely enjoyed my Chef’s Palette Dutch(Iced) Coffee, it was their signature black coffee served with ice. I did not try their savoury menu, but their desserts definitely better than some cafes and dessert bars I’ve been to. And the staff were genuinely lovely. I can definitely see myself coming back here and create new memories over coffee and a dessert or two.
