The Coffee Nation

It has been a while since I had an entry in my blog, so I just want to share with you people a place I recently "discovered" while waiting for a friend who wanted to meet up for coffee. For the record, the owners did not offer to compensate me for the publicity (or lack of it).



Located along Bali Lane, which can be equally inaccessible whether you drive or not. Not many bus services serve this area & it is not located inside a shopping center that is located above a MRT station. Parking is totally limited too.

What I like about this place is that a few graduates came together & wanted to have a place to hang out. Not too commercial like Coffee Bean & Tea leaf or Starbucks. It is homely yet suitable to meet people to discuss serious stuff.

It is quiet. Sometimes too quiet that you worry if the place is making enough money to stay afloat. You know the feeling when you find a really decent place to hang out & it closes down because it is not making enough money?

There is a nice corner with really comfortable sofas. At the other end of the 2nd storey near the stairs & toilet, there is another corner where you can sit on the floor & sip your coffee placed on a low coffee table. Light snacks like fries & wedges are available if the hunger pangs get to you.

The highlight of this place would be the free Wifi that is available as well as numerous power points to juice up your lappy if the need arises. A lot of though has been put into planning what the owners really want & also keeping up with modern times where people work away from their desks & laptop computers become more common place.

Prices are reasonable & service & prompt & polite. Prompt & attentive but never to intrusive.

This might be my new hangout as it is located near my workplace & it doesn't cost anywhere near an arm or leg to spend the hours if you have time to spare.

Last but not least, here is the official website of this really nice place.

Ja neh!!!
