We
actually found this place by coincidence as we were looking for a
place to catch up with group of friends and kids. As it is located
opposite Canadian International School, parking was a breeze during
the public holiday.
As
you enter the shop, you will see their display of cupcakes and menu.
Whatever you see there, it is all they have. You basically have to
place your order on the counter, pay and they will deliver to you.
Most of the seating is actually located at the back after the
counter. Very comfortable, with short table and chairs. Unfortunately
the lighting is quite dark, feels that not much effort was put in
decorating the place.
From
the name of the store, you know already what is their specialty. We
ordered Red Velvet ($3.50) and Blueberry Summer ($3.50). Both
cupcakes are moist, full of flavour and moist. The frosting only
cover half of the cupcakes and it is not too sweet so don't need to
worry that you kids will go hyper after too many cupcakes. At the
bottom of my blueberry summer cupcake, I was surprised to find some
fresh blueberries in it. While the cupcake is nice, we find that it
is lacking of the OMPHHHH factor.

For
their coffee, they use the coffee beans roasted by Nylon at Everton Park. Their latte ($4.50) is smooth, creamy and without much bitter
taste afterwards. Good balance between the coffee and milk. A good
latte indeed. For the tea, they use Gryphon tea @ $5.50 per pot. As
for the other cold drinks, we are told that they have run out of it.

Unlike their cupcakes, we find the service slow, unfriendly and 'lack of love'. When our group walk in, it seems they are not keen on serving their customers and prefer to have their shop empty. The cupcakes came at first, but our drink come a good 10 to 15 minutes later after we finish the cupcakes. Hopefully the management can address this matter.
Overall,
we find the cupcake and drinks here are good. With the combination of
less sugar and more flavour, it is a plus point for this shop. The
price is quite steep, however comparable to those in the market.
Cheers!!
