Was introduced to Butler sometime in 2019 and thought they had a really cute logo and also knew about their coffee cart service for hire then. Fast forward few years later in 2024, when I was scouting for a coffee cart to hire for a party, I naturally shortlisted Butler amongst a few other options. I went with Butler in the end because the drinks menu was preferred and they had iced options available (very important for our climate and because my event was in the middle of the day). I’m also a big fan of their laid-back hipster, clean, minimalist aesthetic (coffee cups stamped with my customised logo!!) :) Communication with Alicia was very smooth via email, with her speedy replies and patience in answering my queries. The 2 staff that came down on the party day were also very friendly. My venue is outdoors (but with ample shelter for the cart of course) so they braved the humidity (it drizzled on and off that day) and were super professional. It was a very pleasant experience and I’ll definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a coffee cart for their event :) 10/10 will also choose them again for my future events!!

Lovely stop for coffee and some breads. No blasting of music and quiet while we visited in the afternoon. The simple Ham & cheese toast was a little too salty for my liking but who knows? It might be what you love! Tuna with cheese and egg… that is a first for me. Try it and decide. Pretty unique taste for me. Love it? Like it? Or meh… you decide!

We were around the area and chanced upon this lovely coffee place. I didn’t think much of it at first; it was just another day of grabbing an essential cup of joe. I ordered an iced black and my husband got a hot white — we were deep in our conversation when I took a sip of my iced black; I had to pause, because the taste of the coffee caught my attention. How could just an iced black coffee taste this good? The curious child in me couldn’t resist asking the owner (Alicia) a series of unending (noob) questions. We then went to the cafe for two consecutive days. Needless to say, this has now become our newly-discovered favourite coffee joint! Thank you Alicia for the great hospitality and we are looking forward to the coffee workshop!
