I was dying to come to M&S cafe once I've heard it's opening, Ive long been a loyal customer for their food since school in England. So tonight I dragged my bf to come for dinner, but since there weren't any openrice reviews yet and no info of food choices on official site, WE WENT IN BLIND! The cafe is inside of M&S, right next to the food hall.I have this instant feeling of its setting and MUJI Cafe is alike. It's spacious and comfortable.Right inside the cafe, there's the buffet style cake ta
The cafe is inside of M&S, right next to the food hall. I have this instant feeling of its setting and MUJI Cafe is alike. It's spacious and comfortable. Right inside the cafe, there's the buffet style cake table.
it probably changes often, the cakes aren't on the menu.
From the top, anti-clockwise
Cappuccino cake $32
Carrot cake $32
Victoria sponge cake $28
lemon drizzle slice $32
Chocolate muffin $18
Lemon muffin $18 Blueberry muffin $18 This bakery good cabin was right next to the ordering counter, these are all ready to go.
bcos they dont have plastic packaginga but only paper bags, so ONLY bakery goods and the cakes are allowed for TAKEAWAYS Stuff in the fridge are also not on the menu.
Yogurts $32
Salad $72 / $92
Juice and fizzy drinks $1x-2x There are different styles of seatings, which this one I thought it look really fancy, but the table was too low to eat M&S certainly gains point in thoughtfulness, there's coat hangers, baby seats and children drawing paper and crayons. Also free wifi and uses fair trade coffee and tea.
We went at 7.30 pm, there were plenty of seats available, considering a Saturday evening, here certainly has not gathered the crowd (yet)
we picked up the menu on the counter, where salt and pepper, sugars, tableware and paper towels are also are. As seen, there ain't much choices, and most of them (and its ingredient) can be bought in the food hall. Fish n chips uses frozen M&S goods. Curry chicken is microwaved, which is sold $80 in food hall and $98 in cafe.🙈 Hot chocolate - medium $32
Just simple instant chocolate with cream, served with small piece of biscuit.
reminds me of cadbury hot cocoa, should be available in food hall Smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel $45
the bagel is from the food hall bakery, not reheated, quite stiff I reckon.
the salmon has 3 or 4 slices, not so salty.
bf has a craze with smoke salmon, we order if on menu Lasagne with salad $78
Mixed salad is alright, the dressing is pickle like
Lasagne is standard, layered with pasta sheet, meat sauce, cheese sauce
It is pretty standard, but I like it more with tomato flavour the sourness, and with more more cheese there isn't the supposed saltyness. 😤😤😤 Victoria sponge cake $28
Classic choice, picked it bcos wish to relive old school days. Sponge cakes stacked with strawberry jam and sweetened clotted cream, I guess it's what they use with scones as well.
the cake is heavy, not spongy, which is exactly like how school dining ladies made it(haha)😂
But I like how it is, traditional, sweet and fulfilling. just missing some thick vanilla custard👍
So in total, we ate $183 for two.
I'd say this meal and others on the menu is reasonably charged, except the "food hall favourite" items, a bit pricy.
I wonder what is included in the "afternoon tea set$178", waiting for others review!!!
would probably come back for some cake and a pot of tea $20 (free refill) and to chit chat, but as for food? I'd opt to buy from food hall and make at home.
Laters, baby.
