A Trip to Toby's Roaster

By Chaayen

I wouldn't consider myself much of a coffee connoisseur, but I do love my coffee. I was pretty thrilled to hear that Toby's Estate would be reopening. This is its Singapore flagshop and I looked forward to its new looks and flavours available. Toby's Estate offers a range of diverse beans to choose from. It is also at this place I was introduced to the Freezus menu - using high-end frozen coffee beans. 
Generally, I do struggle with choosing the type of beans I would like to try because of my lack of familiarity. It is great that the menu came with a flavor wheel that has description  of different taste which serves as a good guide for layman. Apart from the beautiful interior, what stood out for me was the staff's and barista's passion of what they do. 

I was also introduced to their new Flavour - the Savour Pandan Waffle Coffee. With their coffee workshop, I was able to better appreciate the taste of the Latte and it sparked my interest in brewing. (Feels rather scientific by the way.) I even bought a packet home so that we can experiment with. This was possibly the best taste class I have been to as I came home knowing a lot more about my coffees. 
Can't wait to be back to try out the other items on the menu. If you are keen on specialty coffee, this is really the place to be in. The ambience is awesome and the staff are hospitable. Do try the all-new interactive Filter and Espresso Bars, Toby’s new canned Not Hot Coffee range (SG$5.30 each) which offers refreshing cold coffees in three tempting flavors: Oat Milk Latte, Cold Brew Black, and 'SproTonic. For the food menu, the hot favorites are Brekkie of Champions to the Surf & Turf Tower, Toby’s French Toast and the Smoked Salmon & Herb Cream Cheese Sandwich. :)
