Smitten Coffee and Tea Bar

After a satisfying lunch at Hummerstons, we took a slow walk to Smitten. I've always liked Robertson Quay. I've been there at night mostly and only a couple of times in the day. This time round, the afternoon breeze and tranquility refreshed my love for the place. There were still many people around but somehow, Robertson Quay just seemed more attractive and beautiful that day. So peaceful and serene. And The Star couldn't stop talking about how he wants to stay there next time hahaha.

Smitten, they are indeed daymakers. Well, they definitely made mine.




I like how Smitten looks


The cement tables, lightbulbs, walls and the hanging sacks hints of olden days. Simple yet inviting.




Cute cuppycakes


Macarons from Artisan Sweets








Iced Latte. Their coffee is pretty impressive but as coffee connoisseurs will probably say, good quality coffee is meant to be drank warm. Haha but it was still pretty good. The coffee was really strong and unique.


Hot chocolate! This is definitely one of the better hot chocolate I've tasted so far! The sad thing about it was it wasn't warm enough when it came to me.




Jars that look like flasks used in chemistry labs! Look at that twirly long metal thingy. It's actually a double headed fork and spoon and the wooden carrier is so cute and quirky! We love cute things like that haha.

Smitten does not have main courses or any sort of "proper" food now. They have macarons, cupcakes and cakes to go with your coffee, tea or chocolate. I think it's really impressive for them to run successfully on just these few items. But again, with such good quality coffee, it's no wonder that they're an attraction. Anyway, they will be launching their food menu soon! Can't wait to go back and try what they have to offer!

I like the feel of the cafe. Pretty chill. Although they do not have many seats indoors, they do have a couple of tables and chairs outdoors. And I feel that the long cement tables kind of makes it difficult for bigger groups to interact. It was okay for us because there were just two of us but if you have a bigger group, there's only one big table that yall can sit around indoors. The outdoor tables are round so they might be more ideal for groups of 3-5.

Anyhows, Smitten is a must to visit if you're a fervent coffee or tea lover!

Smitten yet?
