BLACK&INK - 29 Swan Lake Ave

Friendly staff. Coffee was fresh. Cafe food was great! Went back again...baba coffee was sweet and aromatic!

Nice, chillax bistro at the end of shop houses along Swan Lake Avenue. This place offers a variety of food on their menu & a good promos for Heineken Draught Beer & Guinness Stout lovers. 6pints for $50 is really a good deal. We were there for desserts this time. The waffle was good with vanilla & coconut ice-cream. Just felt abit too sweet with the caramel & chocolate syrup deco. They might wanna put it at the side for those who has a sweeter tooth. We tried the Ugly muddy dessert with chocolate ice-cream. The cake was moist inside and was served warm. Chocolate lovers would love it till the end. Personally felt that the chocolate syrup dressing / decos should be lesser or at the side as the dessert itself with chocolate ice-cream is sweet enough. Food is well and reasonably priced. We will definitely come back again to try more of their dishes on the menu.

The ambiance was lovely for a cozy breakfast. The food was generally not bad. Especially love the mushroom soup! It would taste so much better if there are more gravy and cream for the laksa pasta and if the pizza is crispier!

Our second time visiting this cafe. We ordered the Char Bowl again because we remembered the first time was nice 10 months ago. Unfortunately this time round we are disappointed by the quality of the “meat” and the overall portion of the bowl. Even though it is supposed to be fatty char siew - the amount of meat is so little that we are practically chewing fat. With a price of $16.90 + service charge for a small portion of main serving , this is very poor value. I hope the owner Diana can take the review here seriously and make changes. For now we won’t be ordering again. This review would have been 3 stars food wise but we give 1 additional star to the helpful young staff that was attentive to us without us asking.

Went on a PH new year’s day for dinner, and got a seat immediately the moment we went in. Staff were attentive and service was good. Great food, nice ambience! Side dishes were all at $7 that day ?

The lavender infused latte was great and I enjoyed the salmon steak as it was pan seared to perfection. Scrambled eggs were great too and the What the Duck dish had a generous amount of duck meat. Would definitely swing by again for good food and a lovely coffee fix.

It was just a random Google to see what’s good around the area and this cafe pops up. There’s a good selection of food including light bites, rice bowls, and so on. The coffee was good. The place did get filled up quite fast during lunch time. There are available parking outside the restaurant. Is a bit out of the way and you need to drive to get there.

Great place to bring dogs to but will have to sit outdoors. Parking is relatively easy at the back around the playground area. Chicken wings and onions rings are really good. Service is attentive and the wait staff are always around to help.
