Shop Reviews

We stumbled upon this coffee shop quite by accident after running an errand on a Saturday afternoon. The inviting aroma of freshly brewed coffee drifted out onto the corridor, pulling us inside. The owner mentioned it had been open for two and a half years, yet somehow this was my very first visit. At the counter, one look at the cheesecakes was enough to convince me to stay. The Banoffee was indulgent and well-balanced, but the Burnt Cheesecake stood out—silky, rich, and easily one of the better ones I’ve had in Singapore. To pair with it, we ordered a cappuccino and a mocha. Both were flavorful and well roasted, strong yet smooth, without the harsh bitterness that sometimes lingers. If you happen to visit on a Saturday beware that the café would be crowded, though the buzz of people only added to its kopitiam charm. What began as a chance detour became a lovely Saturday discovery worth returning to.

great spot in orchard for good cakes and coffee :) have been to piccolo by hei kim 3 times and have tried their honey layer cake, strawberry matcha cake as well as black sesame matcha cheesecake. the cakes available for the day will be displayed in the fridge near the counter and i love how they come up with really unique and good flavours! their cakes are generally >$10 but their slices are really huge. have tried their hot matcha and iced americano for the drinks and i would say that they are decent as well! only downside is the crowd these days 😅 might be difficult to find a seat during peak hours!

First time visit after reading the google reviews. The cafe is located in the far east plaza between the set of shops. Coffee - good coffee but not strong to my palatte. I requested less milk but not sure it was considered. Egg Toast- white eggs served on a thick piece of bread was fine. Requested for tabasco and service staff went blank and she checked with her colleague to understand what it is. No tabasco available Overall will try coffee again but not worth making effort

Highly recommend the Earl Grey Strawberry Cake!!! Went in to try their drinks but was really surprised about their cakes!!! Didn't see any recommendation for this cake, but it was really good. May be one of the best cake I have eaten. The Earl Grey and the Strawberry were well matched, the cake was soft, and was not too sweet. The sesame latte was really nutty and fragrant, though size was a little small. Around $20 for a slice of cake(really big though) and drink, pricey, but definitely worth trying. Cafe may look less aesthetic than others, but the food standard is on par and may even be higher than some cafes.

A nice place to get coffee. Coffee is not bad, price is standard not too pricey. Service is good. I got a white, taste is just right, sufficient coffee taste not blend and milk is just right

Nice little nook for serious coffee on a quiet early morning… on level 3 Far East plaza Pop in for a flat white seeing the good reviews. It’s a good cuppa.. well done. Lovely drips seem popular here. Great ambience, cozy space, shy owners. Bakes look great, will be back for more

hei kim cafe’s banoffee pie was a treat — light, fluffy filling with a firm chocolate tart base, every bite was delish🍫🍌 also had the black sesame latte; smooth & easy to drink, though i prefer a bolder goma cream flavour~ love the use of antique furnitures & cute vintage plates!

Stumbled upon this spot while wandering around FEP, drawn in by the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee. The cafe has a homely yet minimalist, cozy-industrial vibe that feels welcoming. I only tried the coffee this time (which was good) but noticed they also bake their own cakes instore, which I’ll definitely come back for. The staff were proactive and attentive, which made the experience even better. Would be great if they had a menu displayed outside though

banoffee cake — i was quite let down by this 😭 it’s 90% cream, with a chocolate tart at the bottom. i wish the cream had more flavour at least, and i couldn’t really appreciate the flavour of the tart as im not a fan of dark choco :”) honey cake — thank god i got this bc it really salvaged the whole experience for me 🤣 it was so yummy!!! buttery 🤭 it could’ve had a stronger honey taste but that’s okay, the texture and everything else was great sesame latte — i don’t like coffee and ordered this not knowing it had coffee in it 🥹 my past experiences ordering a sesame latte didn’t come with coffee…. luckily my friend likes coffee so it didn’t go to waste

Small cozy shop selling coffee and cakes. Came around 230pm and it was almost full. We asked for recommendation for the filtered coffee that is not so acidic. Love the recommended $7 Indonesia coffee that smells aromatic and tasted fruity and nutty. Also had the cheese cake which was creamy, eating small bites with the burnt top was super yummy. Would try again.
