綠靈火 Cake -
This cake is advertised to be of mainly Green Apple taste, unfortunately wasn't detectable at all. Most parts of the cake is also too dense. The 'caramelised' marshmallow bits were surprisingly too soft. 6/10
Cappucino -
The cake disappointed - but the coffee I ordered did not!
My last Espresso was ok to good, slightly too thin and the blend wasn't entirely Espresso orientated. The cappucino I got however was above-average. Mainly of a chocolatey flavour with hints of hazelnut, it was slightly overly-roasty and singular dimensional. Yet, this was made very well by the Barista technique wise. The finish lasts approximately 2-3 seconds.
For some reason it reminds me of Cafe Corridor's coffee, if you gave them to me 'blind-folded' I wouldn't be able to tell the difference, except Corridor's is slightly more bitter on average. Believe it or not, Bonfire's version tastes closer to Cafe Corridor, than Coffee Assembly is to Corridor (despite using the exact blend) if Felix isn't there! Probably a machine set up and barista issue. 7 /10
****************
SUMMARY - A Great Barista makes your coffee here, in fact it surprised me that its better than more professional shop. The cake was a slight letdown, the coffee blend was ho-hum. Service was top notch, really friendly.
