Members only, but you can easily become a member by filling in this card upon purchase. No additional requirements. Chose this place for late lunch (group of 7) for convenience and the atmosphere. There was just us and another table at 2pm on a Saturday. The cafe was quite full by 4pm though. Service & Environment:Extremely chill. Whitewashed walls, tables set quite far apart, squishy sofa in one corner, large low-laying wooden armchairs in another. Nobody's gonna hurry you away after you finish

Service & Environment:
Extremely chill. Whitewashed walls, tables set quite far apart, squishy sofa in one corner, large low-laying wooden armchairs in another. Nobody's gonna hurry you away after you finish your meal. They will simply let you be. You could sit there for the whole day reading a book sipping a coffee or an iced tea and feel no pressure to leave.
Food:
Rather limited in choice compared to the Fringe Dairy (2/f of the same building, part of Fringe Club as well). It's all brunch items. Lots of egg options (free style), served with bread, spuds, greens. There's also a fish burger and chicken burger. Otherwise it's all eggs benny, all-day breakfast varietals.
I ordered a slimming veggie option (which prolly wasn't very slimming):
Slimming vegetarian $78?
- 6-grain toasted bread, 2 freestyle eggs, baked beans, spuds, tomatoes, broccoli cauliflower carrots, 3 pieces of baby asparagus.
The bread was quite delicious. Eggs were poorly done as the yolks were completely cooked (I asked for poached eggs). Not that I like runny yolks but yeah. Everything else pretty average, nothing fancy. The baby aspargus was disappointingly old and tough. I liked the toasted bread a LOT. I think they sourced it from elsewhere. Next time I might order scrambled eggs. Can't go too wrong there.
All-day breakfast $9x
Rashers, links, bread, 2 freestyle eggs (sunny side up here), tomatoes, greens, beans, spuds, tomatoes. I tried a bit of the links and didn't find them too tasty. oHwell. They're considerably yummier than the cheap "chicken sausages" they serve at cha chaan tengs and cafe de coral hahaa but still not up to the proper butcher's store stuffed sausage standard. Actually those Johnsonville brats readily available at any supermarket are reaaally good, could consider replacing these ones with them.
Carrot cake $25
Delicious piece of cake to end the meal. It was delicious. Not too sweet, no frosted cream cheese topping, perfect. It was almost as good as the one my helper makes at home. Alas it did remind me a bit of home. I must say, humble-looking but impressive. Would've been even better if it were a tad more moist!
Cappuccino (+$10 with meal, $28(?) a la carte)
Fair cuppa. I enjoyed it. Not too strong, but the coffee flavour was more prominnet than that of a Starbucks cappuccino hehhh if that reference point assists at all.
Conclusion:
Although the food's notsogreat I will probs be returning for...everything else, for example the relaxed atmosphere and spacious interior.
A happy and peaceful meetup with dear friends, despite the unrest in society these days. I pray that we will continue to make peace, relying on a higher power that unites us despite our divided earthly (political) views.
