interesting concept for coffee with limited seating
coffee was well brewed and they have good equipment for such
the seating was limited and small, not the kind of place youd sit and read a book / do work at, more of a sip and go.
my concern / issue is that it is right beside a nail salon for mani pedi. thankfully there were no nail filing when i was there, but doubt itll be hygienic if there is nail dust floating whilst sipping your coffee

Visited a slow cup when it was previously tucked inside a nail bar at Robertson Walk, but they have since relocated to The Cathay. Despite its small space, it gives off warm, minimalistic, and relaxing vibes. It was quiet when I visited on a Sunday afternoon, making it a great spot for a slow weekend treat.
I had the Iced Einspanner Latte ($7.50) and Applewood Smoked Cheddar Biscuit ($6) as part of their $12 bundle, and it was the perfect pairing. The einspanner was beautifully balanced and rich. The fluffy whipped Okinawa molasses cream adds a nice sweetness but not overly so, making it one of the better versions I’ve tried.
The biscuit was fragrant, buttery, and savory with a distinct cheesy aroma, complemented nicely by the apple, chai, and sage jelly on the side that added just the right touch of sweetness. It’s a little dense, but still a satisfying and flavorful snack to go with coffee.

Discovered A Slow Cup at The Cathay and instantly loved the calm, cozy atmosphere, the perfect spot to unwind amidst the city buzz. Though small, the café feels warm and minimalist, ideal for a morning pick me up.
I had the Iced White and a cookie, both were excellent. The coffee was smooth and well-balanced with just the right hint of sweetness, while the cookie was rich, chocolate-y.
Service is relaxed but pleasant, and the overall vibe makes this a great little hideaway for anyone needing a quiet moment or a good cup of coffee.

was out on a very hot day an i d chanced upon this quaint and zen cafe in Cathay, so i decided to check it out and rest a little before continuing the long day ahead. this place truly lives up to its name. i ordered a drink for my intended quick break. but this place is soooo cozy with friendly and helpful staff that i decided to take it slow with a slow cup instead of rushing off like i'd initially intended to. definitely would recommend this cosy place to anyone looking for rest place in the midst of shopping and rushing in between places. why rush anywhere if you can just take a slow cup and forget about the mad rush in life?

Among the best coffee options in the area. Their tea is also nice (I tried their oolong). The service could be improved as when I went staff came across a bit bored.
