J.Co Coffee and Doughnuts


Can you just see that glossy doughnut has my name on it? It didn't have to wait too long to get eaten by the Coffee Concierge. The Coffee Concierge has been a major fan of the J.Co on Batam where he goes every once in a few months to help out at a school on a nearby island called Rempang. But the Coffee Concierge was always in too much of a hurry there to just buy dozens of doughnuts and get on the ferry back to Singapore. Now however that they've opened a branch in Singapore (at Singapore prices of course), there's time to sample their expresso.

The verdict on the coffee: sour and sour. It tasted awfully familiar actually from something I've drunk before possibly at one of the Food and Hotel Asia 2008 booths. Now there was an actual coffee taste but the predominant note was sour from start to end. Not that much of an after taste or smell. Decent crema. In all, this Coffee Concierge says stick to their doughnuts especially the heaven berry one and the chocolate filled ones. There's a queue but it was moving pretty quickly along so don't be daunted by that.

Price: S$3.20 (comes with a glossy doughnut)
Service: 2.5 beans
Flavour: 1 bean
