Coffee Club @ Holland Village is located right at the end of Lorong Mambong, the street that is the heart and soul of Holland Village. Having live in Holland when i was young, the street has since undergo many transformations, and i think most of the shops back then are not there anymore.
After reading Coffee Club’s website, i then realized that they had actually opened their first gourmet coffee house in Holland Village in 1991. But to be honest, i didn’t have any memories of Coffee Club back then.
Today Coffee Club has 21 outlets island-wide, and this is actually the first time i’m stepping into Coffee Club. Can you believe it? Well i been to Coffee Bean, Starbucks, but not Coffee Club.
And i have not went to The Coffee Connoisseur (TCC) before either, looks like a visit to TCC is on the cards.
The interior of the Coffee Club at Holland Village is relaxing, and looks great for a chill-out place. Thats exactly the reason that prompted my friend and i here.
There’s also al fresco area for those who like to stay out of the air-condition.
Iced Mocha ($6.90)
My friend had the iced mocha, like i mentioned previously in the Cedele post, i’m not a big fan of mocha, i rather spend the money on desserts, but my friend find the mocha to be all right.
Vienna Chocolate Cake ($5)
This, is what i’ll spend on my money on when i frequent coffee houses and cafes. Seriously i wont spend 6-7 bucks on a cup of coffee, partly because i don’t drink much coffee also. I love desserts, give me desserts everyday!
The Vienna Chocolate cake by its account, isn’t that great, there’s nothing special about the cake, well except its chocolate.
But to be fair, at 5 bucks a slice, it is really quite worth the money if you often have cravings for cakes, like me.
Total Bill was $14 for one mocha and one cake after the 17% you-know-what. The ambience of Coffee Club at Holland Village branch was excellent for a chill-out place, my friend and i were there chatting for about two hours, and there wasn’t much crowd around.
The menu for their main course looks tempting, in the dollar sense its quite reasonable. But i’m quite skeptical about the quality of the food in coffee houses. We’ll see how it goes then. Maybe when i’m low on budget, i’ll give their mains a try. Until then, chill-out!

With its own on-site coffee roasting facilities in its flagship gourmet coffee house at Holland Village, Coffee Club took the coffee culture by storm and set a new standard in the industry in 1991. However, even with 21 outlets today, this flagship outlet remains close to my heart, even as a non-coffee lover. I like the impeccable service and aromatic coffee there and recently, its newly launched menu gave me more enticement to visit this place. I gave the NEW Banana Butterscotch Latte ($6.20) a try and what you get is an interesting blend of a very rich and sweet latte that is of acquired taste. Don’t get me wrong, the coffee was still aromatic, but I find the butterscotch flavour too overwhelming and with the addition of the banana in it, the drink was just too sweet for my liking – perhaps someone with a sweeter tooth will appreciate it better!
The NEW Spice Chicken Wings ($8.50) marinated with lemon juice was a delight. So much so that we devoured it within minutes. The skin was well marinated and the savoury & sour combination was truly pleasurable. The only flaw was that the greens that accompanied with it was all dried and wrinkled, and the texture was too rough for consumption – the least I expected was some olive oil drizzled on it – as I found out later that they only served salad dressing to their specialty salad dishes.
Thankfully, the NEW dessert in town saved the night – Chocolate Delice ($7.00), consisting of bittersweet chocolate mousse with chocolate syrup drenched over it and vanilla ice cream on a base of crisp, flaky puff pastry accompanied by crunchy Valrhona rice crispies, this dessert is a winner in many ways. Presentation wise – it was brilliant, taste wise – the chocolate mousse is beyond description, one simply has to taste it to know what I mean. If one enjoys Bakerzin’s signatured Warm Chocolate Cake, then this cold dessert is the one for you!

Pros:
Situated in one corner of Holland V. Nicely decorated with tall glass panes though its over looking the HDB. Went there a couple of times before and services were quite good. Ordered Blackforest and its highly recommended though I forgot to ask them to remove the whipped cream. Rose bud tea is also one the nicest drink there. Finger food like wedges and its chicken wings also taste great.
Cons:
Rather cramped as the tables and chairs are placed near to each other.

I was heading down to this outlet with my friends for a chill. We were warmly greeted and welcomed by one of their pleasantly polite waitresses into the place. The service was rather slow. We chatted and had waited for around 25 minutes but our orders had not been served to us yet. And so we had to wait patiently. However, the waitress apologised to us when our orders were served to us one by one. Green apple and Mojito Mint Soda tastes great. But the ice coffee tastes rather bitter. Prices are rather reasonable as the environment is rather cosy.

Quietly tucked in a corner of Holland Village, we almost missed its existence!
Went for a chill out session for desserts and my friend mentioned that the place is cosy. But it seemed like the cosy part had been renovated away.
Service: Slow on a saturday night. Perhaps we were sitting on the 2nd floor. Luckily it is pretty packed still, and we still see servers walking around. Else we have to go downstairs to call them? Our Ice water was served like 15 to 20 mins after we ordered our stuff. But the waitress apologised. Dessert was even slower. We had fruits fondue and muddy chocolate cake. Well, they do not need to be cooked, but it still took very long! Anyway luckily we were engrossed in our chatting to notice the time!
Dessets: Portion was big. Value for money. Prices are affordable. Love the choco from the fondue! The muddy cake was BIG and we couldnt really finish the plate with 3 girls!

Went to this outlet of Coffee Club several times, but the last time wasn't a very pleasant one.
Perhaps due to their low table and the inexperience of the waitress, she spilled coffee (cold one, fortunately) on me while trying to place the coaster with one hand and balance the coffee on a tray with the other.
The coffee only managed to spill on my socks, but they could have done better than just offering me some serviette to clean myself. Shouldn't the drink be on the house?
And when the accident happened, the waitress was more concerned with cursing under her breath than apologising to us.
Overall, nice and quiet cafe except for this unpleasant experience.
