The Coffee Academics, Raffles City - #12 The Coffee Academics

Wow the price for a slice of apple crumble and a brownie is crazy expensive and the service is terrible. Like $19.80 for a slice, they did discount 20% as it didn't come with soft serve ice cream. it's yummy but not worth the price.

It's a nice place to grab a cup of coffee and have some food on a weekday afternoon while catching up with friends. The food tasted what it should taste like and I find the fried cheese interesting. The lemon with it's peel removed was a little irritating though, as I ended up with lemon juice on my hands instead of lemon oils after squeezing.

? First time here at Coffee Academics on a weekday afternoon. Attracted by the good looking place that i thought it will be cozy.. however the experience was not as good as i hope it will be.? We waited for awhile at the entrance, a young girl was standing near cashier counter.. she saw us and turned away. ? Another server (not sure he is a malay or indian) came and brought us in. He was well mannered and pleasant.? We were given a seat right beside the entrance. ☕️The coffees were okay, not great and ain't bad. My mocha was quite sour ?.. which i really didnt enjoyed. My friend's coffee was just okay.? Staff tend to chat and joke loudly... we could hear their convo. Too noisy for us to chat over a cuppa, we left shortly and head off to another place instead ☹️ With the not so wow coffee, the standard of service and noise level.. i don't think I will be back..

Tried the breakfast burger and açai bowl at The Coffee Academics. The burger was tasty and had delicious sauce, along with generous portion of fries. Açai bowl was good but the restaurant didn’t note our request to remove pumpkin seeds. Service was subpar, staff took very long to seat us. They also served us one glass of water for a table of two throughout the whole meal. Only worth it since we used a Burpple deal but otherwise it would’ve been rather pricey.

We ordered the "make your own breakfast". The sourdough was extremely over toasted. Too hard, certain parts of the toast was charred. Scrambled eggs was oily. I gotta say they were quite generous with their smoked salmon. The maple bacon has no taste of maple syrup. The rosti wasn't a rosti but hash brown. Coffee was acceptable. The meal was pricey for the quality. Overall, I wouldn't come back for the food. May consider the coffee, but not my go-to coffee joint.

I had the Manuka coffee which was awesome. We also had some mains which i felt was slightly pricey; they have raised their prices from my last visit. The impossible burger which i had several times, no longer had the "wow" factor. Perhaps, because this time, the burger felt very dry. The grilled salmon was a safe choice of order but nothing unique to rave about. Personally, its the coffee that I would crave for. The service staff was generally attentive and responsive (above average).

My First visit to Coffee Academics was not a great one. The environment wise I think is cosy and nice but not my experience. Ordered their breakfast and I have to say if you are charging 28 dollars for such a breakfast , at least your items have to be in par with the price. The poached egg was not runny and overcook. The two bacon pieces are not individually fried and is stuck together. The rest of the dish has nothing to wow you about.... I do understand that is a holiday but the place is not that busy. I understand its my fault that I topple my coffee, and my friend went to get some tissue to help me but to leave the customer to finish the rest of the meal with the mess, this is the first time that I come across and the service staff pass by me 3 times... The coffee taste is average, not fantastic and ain't bad tasting. But with the price tag and the standard and service, I don't think I will be back. I proceed to hop over to tiong bahru cafe to continue my craving instead.

Had brunch here with wife. The coffee was my type suitable which suits my tastebud. Latte less milk! The items are of pricey side for cafe kinda of food but luckily the food turns out good! The portion are fine as well. The servicing staffs were friendly and quick. Will be visiting them soon again. Thank you
