Loysel’s Toy - The Coffee Crafters (Kampong Bugis)

I stumbled upon this very interesting cafe after watersports at Kallang River one evening. Everything was right, the location, the look of the building, the ambiance, the smell in the air, the delectable snacks and the people lounging around enjoying their moment of quiet reading.

Loysel's Toy is a one of its kind coffee hideout. Nestled next to picturesque Kallang River in a low white building surrounded by lush greenery of the park, drowning the air with aromatic coffee and baked muffins.

I chose a table just outside the cafe... Yes they do have air-con sitting inside the cafe however on a cool day like this, I rather enjoy some fresh air. Their coffee menu was a good mix of the regulars and some special extensive and interesting mixes... I mean these guys are the COFFEE CRAFTERS... and coffee is a serious business to them. Though I'm enticed by the thought of trying something dangerous, I've decided to go for my regular latte, which is a good balance of acidity and sweetness... I've of chosen a peanut butter muffin and I must say.. its perfectly nutty on the inside and the melted peanut butter cream on the top just gives it the oomph....

If you would like some nice aromatic beans or interested in having a professional coffee maker in your house... You could also find some there or enquire on their webpage... Oh yar.... They also do rental of bicycles for cycling around the Kallang riverside park.. and the bicycles look so not like the East Coast Park kind.. its more of a city bike and so leisurely luxurious :)

It is a great experience and prices are about Coffee Bean / Starbucks kind of price range. The setting is lovely and i think its a great place to hang out with friends or have some personal time. I appreciate joints like Loysel's Toy as there is really not many of such dwellings around in the urban city like ours. I look forward to much more time hanging here :) Oh Yar! By the way.. Really nice Logo... Like a stamp from some old toys... very nostalgic
