![]() ![]() It was packed with nuts and red beans which made for a great crunchy texture. ![]() The flavour of our Green Tea Bingsu ($15.90 single portion) was delicious. ![]() Though we were feeling reserved during our visit and opted for a single portion. Bingsu fans, rejoice! At Caffe Bene they serve up whopping double portions of this awesome icy treat in a variety of flavours. I really liked the malty, grainy flavour. We also opted for a Misugaru Latte (from $6.50) served hot, if you’re looking to ditch your coffee addiction this is definitely a healthier choice that might persuade you to make the switch. I don’t think I would have ever guessed this was made using sweet potato, the flavour is really rather subtle. I really enjoyed this drink, it was refreshing, smooth and sweet without being sickly. We tried the Sweet Potato Latte (from $6.50) and opted for the iced version, it can also be served hot if you’d rather. The drinks menu features some unusual additions as well as the expected coffee combinations. It was a healthy way to begin, even though I did quickly descend into calorie laden waffle territory. I liked the crunch of the julienne carrot and cucumber, and the dressing was light, fresh and enough to coat the entire bowl generously. What looked like a relatively dull bowl of soba was actually pretty tasty. We kicked things off with the Japanese Soba ($9.90) from the savoury counter. The menu is vast and varied, and of course features everyone’s favourite Korean export – Bingsu – alongside gelato, waffles and honey bread, to name but a few. The only feature you will spot in every single branch however is the famous Caffe Bene clock. It’s spacious, light and bright with plenty of comfy spaces for you to sit back and relax.ĭespite the fact there are now approximately 1,500 Caffe Bene’s globally, each one features a unique interior design ensuring it doesn’t feel like your average coffee chain. There are a few nods towards a more vintage feel, but it also maintains a cool, fun, natural European vibe. The first thing you notice about Caffe Bene is the decor. The name, if you translate it literally, means ‘good cafe’ in Italian. We recently dropped by to see exactly what all the fuss is about and to see if it lived up to it’s title, and the hype. Caffe Bene – the Korean coffeehouse giant – has finally landed in Singapore, at VivoCity to be precise. ![]()
