May & Nana had been most helpful every time I visit Cedele at Paragon. Was even reminded every offer when I order . Redeem $5 and paid only $1 today for my flat white . Continue the good service as always. Thank you

1. Tried their scone (bread or scone?). At S$4.0 a piece and serve bare, without jam or butter. Focaccia roasted chicken with mozzarella (whatever), quite tasteless. Matcha latte quite watered down. With such small tables, reminded me I am in a kindergarten setting. Will need tremendous improvement.

I feel I have to share this experience. It might make a difference or it might not.
We came in for a quick snack. Around 4:40pm. Young lady behind the counter.
Me: Can I have a club sandwich and....
Server: (interjected) no club sandwich.
Me: how about BLT?
Server: no BLT, no bacon
(OK, now I am getting the picture, they have run out of bacon)
Me: Roast chicken and avo?
Server :yes
Me: And a salmon thin and 2 cappuccino pls.
Server: 32.40
Me: I started emptying some coins on the counter (which I got at the airport an hour ago)
Server pushed one of the coins back towards me.
Server:"this one not Singapore"
She was staring at me with a blank expression. It took me a few seconds to get what she was trying to tell me. Finally understood. By this time I was a bit flustered, so I just gave her a $50 note.
Server: you got new one?
Me: (totally lost, thinking the notes I got 4 years ago is no longer valid. I am looking at all the other notes in my hand, now what do I do?) You mean this cannot be used?
Wife : Isn't this still legal tender?
Server: (keeps on pointing to that note & waving her finger at it. I still didn't get it. Then she pointed to the other notes in my other hand. I gave her one and she took it without a word)
Me: what wrong with this one?
Server: (pointing to the corner of the offending note and the other note)
Me: Finally dawned on me that the offending note had a stain at the corner.
Throughout this whole exchange, she was totally expressionless that she came across totally rude. If this had occurred where I lived, I would have turned around and walked out. I would never have let anyone speak to me like that. Having got up at 5.30am and off the plane an hour ago, I wasn't thinking straight. Why can't she speak in full sentences, instead of pointing and waving her finger. How about :
"sorry we have run out of bacon so this & this & this is no longer available"
"I think you might have your coins mixed up because this is not a Singapore coin"
"do you mind giving me another note? I can see this one is stained and the bank may not accept it and I will get into trouble with my boss"
Is there a penalty in the school system for long windedness? (being facetious!)
I mean, I defo look non local, carrying a backpack with a water bottle.
If I was paranoid, I would swear she looked down on me because I looked like I've just come across from JB.
Oh, the food. I can't remember what mine taste like because I kept thinking of our interaction. But at least my my wife enjoyed hers.
By the way, I bought some Italian chocolates with the offending note. The server didn't even blinked. It was just a faint yellowish stain like spilled curry or something - no tear or holes, all pictures and text were visible.
Sometimes I wonder why some people choose to work in hospitality when they are not into it. Unemployment in Spore can't be that bad.

The place is quite small, some tables only have benches without backrests as options, which is not good. The coffees we ordered were very tasty and the blueberry cake was very tasty, it was warm, crispy, soft, juicy and well filled. Overall it was a good experience.

Very Disappointing Experience – Rude Staff and Bad Food
I had a very unpleasant experience at this café. First of all, the staff were incredibly rude. We walked in holding a clearly visible ice cream cone, and nobody said a word about outside food not being allowed. Only after we placed and paid for our order did they suddenly inform us that outside food was not permitted. At that point, we were put in a very awkward position – either throw away the ice cream we had just bought, or leave without enjoying the coffee we had already paid for. This felt very intentional and unkind.
Secondly, the food and coffee were honestly below average – the coffee was bitter and burnt, and the food lacked flavor and freshness. Combined with the poor service and unwelcoming atmosphere, it’s safe to say I won’t be coming back. Not recommended.

I am usually a fan of cedele and often catch up with friends here. But today it was a super disappointing experience. The bagel was stale, the toast was not toasted and the avocado was just sad, like it was leftover from last night. To top it all, the cashier lady produced 2 different invoices, both wrong. Finally returned cash. Not coming back

Just had the absolute worst bagel in my life. Absolutely rock hard and stale. Ordered a takeaway roast chicken and avocado. Served promptly but a real shame as the ingredients were quite good.

I used to really enjoy Cedele’s food/sandwiches but on my most recent visit I was so disappointed with what I ordered - beetroot avocado sandwich. There was only one bread option available so what I’d pictured or imagined (based on what I had a few months ago when the sandwich was served with a brioche bap), the avocado was almost nonexistent, the patty was thin and there was no more alfalfa sprouts but instead replaced with sad-looking lettuce.
The only saving grace was perhaps the coffee which was still palatable.

Tried the chocolate banana espresso cake & lemongrass tea. Chocolate Banana Espresso Cake not only SHRANK in size, but increased in price to $9.3 from $8.5/8.9 (can’t remember). Cake’s good though. But still disappointed in the small slice I was given.
Lemongrass tea was OK, but initially the cup I was given had UNWASHED coffee stains on it. Asked to change to a new cleaner cup & staff complied.
