Artisan Boulangerie Co - 118 Killiney - 118 Killiney Rd

Although that had run out if nearly everything again (limited kitchen runs?) I hat a really great (Kale Super food) salad today at ABC. And the tea was nice too.

Spacious. Nice coffee (uses Toby’s Estate cups, so presumably their coffee beans are from Toby’s estate?). Considering SG’s patisserie scene, decent dessert. I always drink their ABC juice whenever I want to detox after a heavy meal.

What a stylish Cafe right in the Centre of killiney road. Easy access, easy to locate. Beautiful!! Staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. I ordered the beef Burger, side salad, Cajun pasta and choco Frappuccino. Everything was nice and wonderfully presented. The prices are a bit high. I spent around $70 for 2. So this can be a splurge, not your regular cafe. Must try once.

I use to come here to have their brunch set. But today I wanted to try their main set. Very nice and thumbs up for both their Roasted chicken breast as well as the Pan seared salmon. I recommended you guys should try them. Their tiramisu was very soft, but a little disappointed as the base pastry was a little hard. No doubts that their coffees maintain the standards. I always enjoy their flat white.

Order Platform: Grab (Self Pick-Up) Food (5/5): Ordered a Quinoa and Avocado Salad (Grilled Chicken; top-up for Salmon) and Grilled Salmon Salad. The former felt less like a salad because it did not look like it had much greens, as compared to the latter (which had more leafy greens). Taste was great for both - loved it! Service (4/5): Not expecting to be served since we did not dine-in, so this rating is targeted at the Grab application instead. The self pick-up time is inaccurate (especially since the order was placed at noon on a weekend). Nonetheless a staff had prepared carriers for each in-app order, and the order slip was placed on top of the respective carriers (i.e. you can make sure your order went through / is in-progress while you hang around and wait). Others: The cutlery provided (not sure why knife was given since the dishes’ ingredients did not warrant its use, while spoon was not given) and tissue were of good quality (not your average / low-end ones) Overall (5/5): Exceeded my expectations overall, and thus would highly recommend (and would return again)! This recommendation is largely due to the price-point (see below for tip). Tip: Applied a 20% self pick-up on my order, on top of a 20% off with S$35.00 min - total of $12 was saved. Paid less than $12 for each salad - which I thought was decent, given the location and setting.

Instead of ABC, consider changing it to just one alphabet - Z i.e. this needs to sleep so that patrons would avoid patronizing it. A total disaster for the following: A. Spinach & avocado Panini sandwich - The salad was not fresh, barely drizzled with some balsamic vinaigrette. Panini lacked flavor in its stuffing it was more like spinach, avocado, tomatoes and cheese were forcefully put in there. Panini tasted horribly. B. Roasted Chicken Breast - No flavor in the potato wedges. Caramelized onions were awful. French beans which are a relatively easy ingredient to prepare were also distasteful and super oily. (It was enough to just blanch them.) Chicken - Hmm...As they say quantity doesn't equate to quality. This is absolutely true here. Chefs need to get their act together and change their mindset if they really want the F&B business to thrive especially when patrons have started coming out to dine. Else, it's better to just shut down for a few months, get a grip on preparing some good soul food. The place is only decent for a nice coffee/hot drink and to enjoy the woody interiors for a cozy chat. Else, nothing special that would entice one to head there when there are dozens of eateries with higher quality of food, service, ambience and overall dinning experience.

Went on a Sunday 9am and was able to get table easily. However, queue to order at the counter was quite long as it was moving real slowly. Tables start to be filled up by 10am. Wish they have a booking system. Really enjoyed the mocha here as am quite particular on my mocha usually, the accompanying almond croissant as part of breakfast set was very nice too. totally recommended.

Generous portion of food and really cozy vibe. Fries were crispy and the mushroom linguine smells and taste really authentic and flavourful. Great place to do some work and catch up with fiends!
