Espresso 21 Cafe Restaurant

We came in for ice cream, i found it a bit sweet, but definitely would love to come back and try other dishes. The place looks very comfortable for dine in.

The location is so beautiful and their drinks tasted amazing. Its a little cute cafe ☺️ and the ambience is amazing. The servers were very friendly and nice. They also have great variety of hot and cold beverages.

I was walking down the street looking for a locan place to buy brunch from, and originally only noticed the sign for the soft serve they offer here in all honesty haha. Then I noticed a sign indicating that they also serve brunch, and that piqued my interest! I walked in and saw a table of people sharing brunch together, but the place was otherwise empty on a Thursday afternoon which makes sense since most people are working. I work at night which is why I am often found out and about when the vast majority is putting in their hours for their 9 to 5 shifts. I just wanted something to go so after quickly looking through their menu, I decided to order a sandwich. -[PROSCIUTTO PANINI] $19 🥪 I won't lie to you but this to me was just a prosciutto SANDWICH - although, I just looked it up and apparently as long as the bread used was toasted (it was), it can still be called a panini even if it wasn't pressed/grilled 🥪 The sandwich had a couple thin slices of prosciutto, lettuce, tomatoes, hardboiled eggs, and possibly a spread/sauce on it (not all the ingredients I listed match the menu description which is interesting 👀) 🥪 Also came with a side salad, and a few potato wedges Overall, I'd say for the price of the sandwich, I did expect the prosciutto to be more prominent in each bite, thus I would say this sandwich needed more slices of it for me to order it again. For a small business though, the ingredients used seemed to be pretty high quality! I'd drop by again, and give the other menu tirms a try next time 😊

I ordered a latte and bacon egg benedict. The latte came first. The latte art was pretty but the coffee didn't reach the temperature I liked. They didn't use English muffins for the egg benedict. Not sure what bread they used instead but it was hard. The eggs had a different cooking time. One is more runny than the other. The potato wedges were hard and I didn't finish them. The ambience was nice. Service was just alright.

We ordered an Egg Benedict and the food is in a pasta bowl. It make cutting the Benedict very hard. The presentation is not pleasing. In other restaurants we've been to, it is in a flat plate. We spoke to the waiter and he said he will talk to the chef about it. Let's see if they actually change the plate. My wife and friend came here last summer and the plate is not like that. It seems to me that they change chef/owner. The taste is different too. Before they make the change, I won't go again for sure.

The eggs benedict was good and I liked how there was a lot of sauce on the eggs. The sandwiches were just okay and I wish there was more filling in them since it felt like I was just eating bread.

Great place to have brunch/lunch! Their panini was flavourful and they had a good serving size. I went on a Thursday and the servers were very friendly, coming to check on us a couple times. The atmosphere was quite nice and aesthetic. I would also recommend their delicious ice cream, especially the ube flavour! Will definitely come back for some ice cream :)

The flat white and croissant were good. The place was pretty busy, so it took a while to get served. The staff were friendly enough. They have nice seating inside and out. They also sell cheesecake factory cheesecakes and iHalo Krunch ice cream. Also, they serve breakfast, sandwiches, salads, pasta, soup, amongst other things. I feel the price is slightly higher than I would want. Overall a nice cafe with lots of options.
