La Ristrettos is hidden on the 8th floor of Novena Medical Centre. If you haven't been here, you probably wouldn't know that this cafe existed. This building is directly connected to Novena MRT Station and it's very easy to find (just take the exit towards square 2). Not to worry, there are lots of parking lots in this building.
It's a small and quiet cafe. Since this place is so secluded, there aren't a lot of customers especially during weekdays. This cafe is probably catered towards providing a nice and cozy environment for surgeons to take a break from their hectic schedules or to discuss some work over a nice cup of coffee. 3G reception is poor here, fortunately they provide free WiFi.
They is a big table placed in the centre (that can probably fit 10 people) and a long table top (with red plastic chairs) facing the garden.The interior is filled with wooden furniture, with fake bricks embedded onto the walls. Outdoor seats are also available in the garden for you to breathe in some fresh air. Besides, this cafe is tax-free - you could save a couple of bucks!
I ordered their Macchiato ($3.50). The coffee is smooth and tastes great. Could have been much better with some caramel to sweeten things up! I later found out that they are the sole distributor of Caffe Agust Beans which is an Italian coffee brand that is organic and certified 100% Fairtrade.
I love the presentation of the food here. Food is served in brightly coloured dishes on a nice wooden tray. I tried their Grande breakfast set ($14.00). You have 3 choices for the egg (either poached, scrambled or sunny side). Served together with mushrooms, sausage, salad and 2 slices of sourdough. Sausage and salad dressing was good. However, bacon was burnt and quite tough. Poached eggs were a disappointment - it's overcooked!
For coffee lovers, this is the place to go. Food is satisfactory, not good enough to keep me coming back. As for me, I think I'll only come back for their coffee, provided I'm around the area.
