The shop is located not on the "main" Elgin Street, but the part connecting Elgin and Hollywood Road. The sign is not obvious, but the shop owners prefer this way so that they can enjoy meeting customers and making their food at their own pace (doesn't mean they're slow of course).
I ordered an American, a thick toast, and a salad, while my friend ordered Vietnamese coffee and All Day Breakfast (hash brown, eggs, sausages, salad, and baguette with pesto sauce).
Both cups of coffee were good. Smooth and not bitter.
The thick toast was nicely toasted. Even after 10 minutes, it remained crispy at the surface instead of soggy.
The salad was fresh and served with pieces of sweet mandarin orange.
Coffee Assembly is a place if you want a relaxing, cozy time. They've books and magazines for customers to read as well as board games. You also get to chat with the owners who accommodate all your choices.
I know I'll definitely go back very soon!
