Universal Cafe

Such a snack institution. Can’t wait for dine in again. Fond memories of chilled conversations and tea time chats.

Gives food in 1.5hr and proceeds to blame me for not being patient, I ORDERED BREAD, BREAD! How do you even take 1.5hr to make bread, when I follow up for 3 time every 15 minutes they claim finish and will serve in 2 minutes but never came until I had to scream at one of the waiter( I am sorry but it was real too long)

Very old retro cafe popular for breakfast selling just breads and drinks. Cafe has no air conditioning as it’s an open space but it doesn’t get too hot inside. Plenty of seating with wooden chairs and marble tables. There are no menus so you would have to ask for recommendations. Staffs were friendly and service was quick. Heres what we ordered: ICED CARAMEL LATTE. Surprisingly delicious. Made with the traditional kopi but innovated to a modern drink. Came in a large glass, enough for 2 people to share. Price is also steep (around $7?) KAYA PEANUT BUTTER TOAST. The traditional toast with kaya spread and a slab of cold butter in the centre but with the addition of peanuts. The nuts really elevated the whole thing also giving it a savoury and nutty flavor. The bread is toasted perfectly and was soft in the centre. REDBEAN BUTTER TOAST. Tastes like a normal red bean bread but with the addition of a cold slab of butter in the centre. I am not a fan of red bean but the butter made it good. BLUEBERRY TOAST. A fluffy cream with blueberry jam. Not overly sweet and it brought back some childhood memories. Really innovative. CHEESE FRENCH TOAST. A regular french toast except the sugar is served separately and the centre is stuffed with sliced cheese. The separate sugar actually helped to adjust the amount of sweetness I want on the salty toast. It was very fluffy and old school. Overall, really nice cafe with delicious toasts. Breads are all toasted well and fluffy. Really enjoyed dining here. I can see why people love coming here for breakfast.

Never gonna miss this place when came to seria town. Very old school cafe , must try blueberry cheese, signature egg sandwich , french toast and their classic toast.
