coffee drinkers in singapore are spoiled for choice. whether you’re in the mood for traditional coffee such as old town or ya kun, or western coffee like tcc or starbucks, a coffee joint is always nearby where you can get a cup of joe.
for many coffee lovers, mccafé is probably not within your preferred list of coffee joints. after all, mcdonald’s is known more for the fast food. when it comes to coffee and coffee alone, there are certainly many larger and more established café chains.
but here’s one thing about mccafé: they always try. a nice cup of coffee can be perfected by a touch of art. look how prettily they have done up my mochaccino!

at mccafé, each cup of coffee is adorned with beautiful art that totally outclasses the plainly frothed coffee at other cafés. in fact, i don’t recall having seen any barista at any of the better known cafés whipping up such pretty coffee art. the only other place i can think of is bakerzin when they drew me a pretty heart in my mocha — and they’re not even a coffee joint!
that’s not all. there are even nifty little surprises as you finish more and more of your drink.
“coffee + armchair = happy me!”
cute symbols that form equations can be seen on the interior of the cup. the equations differ from cup to cup too!
and that’s a smiley created from cocoa powder! this is the cup of mochaccino from the first time i ever visited a mccafé outlet. that was back in 2003, when the first mccafé outlet in singapore opened at great world city. even back then, they had already taken steps to dress up their coffee for customers.
i love it when restaurants go that extra mile (just as i condemn restaurants that try to make a quick buck out of their customers).
on top of that, the coffee here costs a lot less than other cafés while not compromising on the taste (at least for the mocha). having little touches of detail like this may not seem significant, but this is what would distinguish one coffee joint out of the sea of many. it sure has created a lasting impression in me.
have you witnessed any other forms of coffee art lately? drop me a note below!

mac realli did some xtra thots for their customers. =)
It sure has won your heart. :)
Indeed it has. Too many restaurants worry more about their profit margin than satisfying their customers. So when one actually shows that it cares, I find this highly commendable and worth blogging about :)
It’s gorgeous! I wouldn’t even want to drink it (nah, I probably would)… well, maybe after taking a picture like you did could I then drink it.
Yup, yup. Some food and drinks are too pretty to be eaten or drank just like that. Taking a picture before chowing down would do them some justice!
P.S. Our names are almost identical!
Cute coffees! I’d have been amused too! :D
i adore the himalayan tea latte from mcafe.. it reallie is the real deal!
Thanks for the recommendation. Gotta try that for myself sometime!
I like the chairs at the McCafe outlet at Builders Centre Parkway Parade. Does anyone know where I could buy a few please?
BTW, McCafe coffee is great!
