Westies rejoice as more cafes will be opening at Faber Drive.
This is also where the newest hole-in-the-wall cafe, GLASS Roasters is located.
For those who are familiar with Gelato Labo at Jalan Besar , they will be also opening a second outlet next to GLASS Roasters in a few weeks’ time.
The joint collaboration between both GLASS Roasters and Gelato Labo will offer a menu different from the outlet at Cavan Road, probably somewhere along the line of coffee with gelato such as an affogato.
With a small dine-in area, the seats are arranged in a U-Shape structure that promotes interaction between the barista and the diners.
Currently in its soft launch phase with ongoing construction works to welcome Gelato Labo, there is a certain charm to the half- furnished interior.
Combining both rustic element with a clean, white tiled furnishing and matte blue seats, the small-cosy area can sit up to 8 persons at any one time.
The menu is short and concise for now, with only black ($4.50) and white ($5.80) on the menu.
Iced, Soy/ Oat milk and a Large cup with an additional espresso shot is charged at an extra $1.
As GLASS Roasters, both the hot and iced drinks are served in double-walled Bodum glass (literally reflected in the name of the cafe) instead of ceramics cups.
The hot drinks are 5oz each with single shot of espresso whereas large cups (additional $1) and Iced drinks (additional $1) are 8oz and consisted of double shots of espresso.
Using a single origin from Columbia, the coffee beans are roasted by the barista himself at Glyph Supply Co.
My cup of White ($5.80) was smooth and robust, not too acidic and well balanced.
The Iced White ($6.80) which contains double shots of espresso has a stronger caffeine kick compared to a regular cup of White.
I’m looking forward to the synergistic menu items between the upcoming Gelato Labo and GLASS Roasters that they can bring to the Westies.
