State Of Affairs - 183 Upper Thomson Rd

Another new cafe in the Thomson area! The coffee is great! Loving the different food options that they are serving! Standard brunch food is really over saturated! Cauliflower is a great start!

Friendly people, the place is nicely decorated. You can feel that the food is carefully prepared, lots of caramelization and overlaps of flavor, that was a surprising aspect to us, I think because the vibe of the place is unassuming. Great for a morning coffee or a nice quiet breakfast. We will definitely be back.

Amazing coffee and beef brisket croquette! It’s located slightly further from the cafe stretch but it is worth the walk. The coffee is smooth and well-balanced, one of the best I’ve tried. The menu is limited but the croquette was extremely delicious. Will definitely be back!

Industrial and quaint place! Coffee was good. Love the glasswares as well. Food was just ok. A bit more horseradish in the cream would give it a bit of kick. Since it’s still in its soft launch phase, hopefully they manage to iron out the kinks and streamline their operations.

Excellent coffee and pear tart! I'm not usually a coffee drinker but their coffee was very pleasant and drinkable. Pear tart was very well balanced. Worth every cent! They also have a 10% discount for healthcare workers! Will be back to try their other menu items.

I ordered the black honey signature coffee and it was really interesting! It’s filtered coffee, soda water and a wedge of lemon in it! I wanted to order the pear tart to go with the coffee but it was sold out already and I reached the cafe at around 2:15pm. So I guess you might want to go earlier since they open early in the morning at 8am. Since there’s no pear tart, I ordered the eggplant and it’s the first time I ordered a savory to pair with my coffee. The eggplant was juicy and tender and it goes well with the miso and tofu sauce provided! The time I reach the cafe it’s was almost full but we manage to get a seat at the coffee bar (high table with high chairs). At around 3pm the crowd was quite thin. Do note that they closes at 4pm and that there are sitting area on the second level. Overall, it’s a nice place to chill over coffee and food. I did ask them if they would change their food menu and what they told me is that they might consider changing their food menu maybe the end of the year.

My first choice out of all the cafes around Thomson. Love everything about this place. Coffee is ridiculously great, nice minimalist decor, chill and friendly crew. Not the usual mainstream food menu but that’s why it stands out. My favorites are the croquettes, avo bowl and Cali steak. Will be back for more!

Unassuming, friendly, and boasting some really good bites. This industrial-themed cafe is worth your visit. The pulled beef brisket croquettes are tasty and filling. The grilled cheese and tomato soup is just the comfort food you need, they did justice on this classic. One tiny note is that the mocha cafe is a little on the chocolatey side, would love to have a more amped coffee taste, but that's just preference in the end. Overall, worth the try and will definitely be back to try the rest of their menu.
