Hummingbirds Coffee Bar

It was a relieve to get out of the sun and into Hummingbird's cool and comfortable setting.
 


I had read about Hummingbirds on some other blogs before and after a persuasive recommendation from the G, i decided to drag the diplodocus and pay this coffee bar a visit.

Situated on the same row as Alexis Bistro, the shoplot is combined with Beatrice Looi's Boutique and Tailoring. The set up reminds one of being in a coffee bar somewhere off the Siene. Not to say i have been to Siene, but i guess its what it would look like. Thank you Hollywood!



Anyways, I decided to try the red velvet cake, which was jus out of the oven when we arrived and was sitting on the counter awaiting the cheese frosting. The cake was soft and not very sweet though it had a little too much flour.

Diplodocus decided to go with the rainbow cake, and though it looked very tempting(and magical!) the cake was too dense for her taste. It was also a lot sweeter than the red velvet.



We had iced chocolate and the summer breeze respectively. Nothing much to shout about on the chocolate, but the summer breeze made of lemon and cucumbers was a real cooler on such a hot day.
 

I do not know if I could recommend this place to friends but for a nice afternoon tea and to have a comfortable spot to hang out with the Toads and Big Sis, I wouldn’t mind visiting it again.
