The Coffee Showcase is a small cafe/bistro serving western food and drinks. They also have cakes and other desserts like chocolate fondue. Terence ordered an american cheesecake and root beer float while Wanjun ordered a coffee alfredo(its basically a affogato) and I ordered a coffee float.
First came the cheesecake. The presentation was pretty nice, but I guess sometimes it doesn't really matter cause it ends up in your stomach anyway! But some people can be quite particular about this kinda thing though. Cake was pretty good. Your standard heavy and rich cheese cake.
The coffee alfredo is their shops version of an affogato which is basically an espresso shot with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Theirs is served with mövenpick ice cream which is quite yummy. The coffee float as show below is somewhat similar, just that it's a double shot of espresso with a scoop of mövenpick ice cream, and is served cold whereas the alfredo is hot. Their coffee is good, not too bitter without sugar and it's got a pretty good aroma. If I'm not wrong they use Illy brand coffee which is a pretty good brand for brewed coffee.
Not sure how Terence's root beer float tasted but I'm sure thats pretty standard anywhere you go. Though we were only there for drinks but we saw some teens eating, looked pretty appetizing and portions were of decent size. The average prices of drinks are about $3.50 and food is abt $6. Chocolate fondue is $8. This is a cheaper alternative to coffee bean or starbucks, but the coffee served is just as good or even better!The Coffee Showcase
