Food was great, but they do need a major upgrade with their interiors and furniture. The ambience could have been lovely, but it just isn't possible with greying walls and cracked leather seats.
These guys serve excellent bread. Breakfast items are also fantastic here.
I love this neighborhood cafe. Interior looks great, perfect for brunch dates. We ordered the Big Apero Breakfast, Souffle Pancake and Porridge Waffle. I especially liked the home-made butter and jam waffle that comes with the meals. The Souffle Pancake, was ok, would order other items on the menu. For drinks, the 18 hr Cold Brew Latte was good! We did not like the 18 hour Cold Brew Soda. As it left a very weird combination of coffee and soda. Price is a bit expensive but all in all, a good dining experience. The staff were pleasant and attentive.
Excellent brunch, affordable prices. Got the mushroom asparagus tartine and banana souffle pancake, both really good! ......................
Great service and great food! I recommend getting a side of their mashed potatoes with [anything really]. The ambience is cozy and chic at the same time. Would definitely come back again!
You can park at the basement and it's free. Yey...😅 but it's all stairs if you want to get back up, so it would be wise to drop off your senior citizens before parking.
There are several stores you can go to but our target today is breakfast. Note that Rustan's Marketplace here is already open at 7:30am.
The place is clean and everything is properly arranged, from tables and chairs and table top utensils. The wait staff are friendly, accommodating and attentive. The kitchen tries it's best to get the orders out for each table, but there is a slow down as more patrons come in. Before we knew it all the tables were already occupied by 9am. They do have outside seating but the heat from summer makes everyone want to dine in the air conditioned cafe, save for the 2 foreigners who opted to enjoy their coffee al fresco.
They have freshly baked bread as early as 3am. I think I saw Sourdough, English Muffins, Croissants, and the Pan de Sal. I was surprised when I picked up a Pan de Sal to try it. It has some weight to it at a regular sized Pan de Sal. The crust was not hard and the bread was soft and moist. It was a literal "love at first bite" 😍 in fact, I had two more after my first inspite of having eaten half a muffin. 😅 I love good bread 😉
We shared the steak which was comparable to Mamou's and Wolfgang's at half the price. 👍👍 The hot chocolate is a little bitter but goes perfectly with their bread. I also loved their Duck Confit Arroz Caldo, their version of Chicken Arroz Caldo. The dish was perfectly balanced. Not too salty and you can taste every ingredient contributing to the symphony of flavors (whoa that was way too deep especially for me 🤣)
Overall, everything was good, from the service to the food so I'm not surprised why its regularly packed at most times of the day. I would definitely come back to try more of their dishes or to just chill. From the ease of parking (and it's free yey 🤣) and the different retail stores. It's already like a mini mall with free parking (yey 😅)
I liked the Spinach Cavatelli, not only did it taste good but it's definitely different from what you'd find elsewhere
The wild mushroom and asparagus was interesting... And I might try it again
Apero breakfast: while very very common, was pretty tasty!
On the other hand, I didn't really like the salads (to be fair, I'm not a healthy person), but I found the salads were mostly greens and barely had any taste! Not great value for money given the price
Slightly pricey but really good ingredients. Especially love the Truffled Pork and Smoke Roasted Chicken. The interiors and ambience are superb and staff are friendly too!
Excellent breakfast choices at Apero including many healthy choices.
I had a Black Cat Analog coffee which was full bodied with notes of sweetness and chocolate. My partner had iced Dirty Chai Latte - 'dirty' meaning with a shot of espresso- the espresso overwhelming any chai taste, in her opinion.
We started off with a Chia Pudding with granola and fresh fruit. Healthy and refreshing.
Next came Corned Beef Hash - sumptuous house cured corned beef chunks with crispy potato hash topped with a fried organic egg. Asparagus & Grana Padano Organic Eggs with fresh bread was healthy and tasty. This is baked in their firebrick.
I recommend the Corned beef hash and the eggs with grana padano cheese
Great place to have lunch or coffee around the White Plains area. Its conveniently located with ample parking and open air environment
Price is slightly on the pricey-side but you get quality ingredients
The Aircon is just a little warm during sunny days
Overall good experience
