Baristart Coffee Singapore (Tras Street)

Came for the cream puffs and they didn’t disappoint at all! They were stuffed upon order so no soggy cream puffs here. The Hokkaido cream filling was truly spot on. Portion is best for sharing as their cream puffs are humongous. Their coffee was of course delicious and paired well with the cream puffs. Service was great too, was seated right away upon coming in the cafe.

Perfect place for a lunch. Can get crowded especially Sunday afternoon, so they have a function to join the wait list before you arrive, which can be quite useful. Coffee is really good and the food is tasty. You can order all the items using the QR code. The items are coming in no specific order, you might receive your food dishes before you get your coffee sometimes. We really enjoyed milk aged wagyu bowl and crab pasta.

I personally am not a coffee person/didnt order coffee, so I cant give a review on this. Other reviews stated about the puffs which i regret not trying, will update my review if I'm ever in the area and will try the puffs. My review is based on the food that I ordered. The pesto pasta was passable, nothing special , prawns were small. Overall not worth for its price. The menchi katsu beef burger, overall was actually not bad and tasty. However, the fries was not the best... not that is not salted or not cooked properly, is just the taste of the potato/texture... could be their fries supplier tbh. The burger was v tasty and juicy but a bit too oily for my liking but overall, recommended! The one that cost a star imo was the tatter tots.... it had such a horrible after taste that both my partner and I could not stand it and wasnt able to finish it. Do not order this. Maybe just skip all the potatoes in this place.

Their cream puff is decent. It’s nice to order when you’re there, but not something I’d purposely head down to get. The coffee in their coffee cream puff is actually quite decadent. Do note that there’s a minimum one person one order rule at this cafe 😊

Server was very patient when we asked for recommendations of food choices, even went the extra mile to introduce some drinks to pair with our foods. DEFINITELY GIVE THEIR CREAM PUFF A TRY, I'M TELLING U IT'S GOOD! Good for sharing with 3-4ppl, each with a bite sized piece. I got them to-go. Awesome place and good food that matches the price we paid. Kudos!

I wasn’t expecting to find a very delicious wagyu don at a cafe! Hokkaido milk aged wagyu flank with goma abura shio kombu- Hokkaido nanatsuboshi rice, chives and yuzu whipped cream. Best of all, it’s served with shiro miso soup. All for just $27.80! My friend was also quite impressed with her Wafu Pasta ($19.80). It came with huge prawns, chunks of bacon and Japanese dashi soy sauce. It’s on the oilier side and a tad spicy, but overall very appetising. Both of us ordered Iced Ume Lemonade ($7.50), which was slightly acidic with the distinct fruity and salty note.

If you haven’t tried this yet, you’re seriously missing out. This cream puff is hands down my favourite in Singapore. The pastry is incredibly crisp with a golden, nutty crust that gives the perfect crunch with every bite. Inside, it’s generously filled with smooth, rich cream that’s not overly sweet — just perfectly balanced. Pair it with an iced coffee and it’s pure happiness on a plate.

Tried this cafe after lunch for desserts and coffee. Saw they have nice bo bo cha cha cream puff for this period of time. It is very good and have taste of bo bo cha cha. Coffee is good too. There are lots of options to choose from for food and drinks. Definitely good options for coffee and dessert after lunch or over weekend drop by for tea time.

Our Singaporean friends highly recommended this place for its Hokkaido cream puff. We visited on Tuesday afternoon around 3pm. The small cafe was full but we managed to get a table. - Hokkaido cream puff: heavenly DELICIOUS! The crust was super crispy. The star was the filling - YUMMMM! The cream was super creamy, milky & smooth. - Shiro Kuma shaved ice with strawberry syrup: it was a cute treat to beat hot Singaporean weather. Yes, it was pretty pricey for a shaved ice but I could taste that the syrup was truly homemade. The strawberry syrup was more like fresh thick strawberry puree - it was the perfect sweetness that complements the vanilla ice cream & the fresh fruits very well. I wish they gave more of the fresh fruits. I would come back for the cream puffs alone the next time I visited Singapore.

*Coffee Snob Intro* When you're let go from a company the locations you frequent many many coffee shops. These wonderful roasteries provide the perfect balance of professional attitude, casual attire, and passionate delivery to aid you in your job search. I'm going to rate a bunch of coffee shops based on this metric and a few others and provide an overall rating for the experience. ---------------------------------- OVERALL: 4 stars Ambience: 4 Coffee: 4 Food: N/A (did not try) Meeting Place: 4 Working Space: 4 ---------------------------------- *Coffee Review* Baristart is a solid 4-star coffee venue ticking all the boxes! If you can handle the heat I suggest you sit outside at the slim table and enjoy the people watching in Tras Street which is an interesting distraction from your digital device ;) Inside is a very slick 'n' slim modern coffee shop which buzzes with activity. You order at the counter, take a buzzer, then wait for your coffee order to be ready back at the counter. This actually helps to keep that area free of a queue clutter --- and why are we all standing around waiting anyways when we have our stupid friend Nancy's endless insta stories to catch up on? [Note to Nancy: No one cares about your ugly cat Minxy!] If I come here to work I generally pick the spot at the high chairs, with the wall-garden, facing the front door. This maximises serenity and peripheral optics. The coffee has some solid options (usually fruity or nutty for the single origin aficionado's) and I almost always opt for the dark nutty single origin varieties as I like a dark 'n' rich roast - always sans milk. Otherwise I'll just opt for a soy latte. It's a good coffee, and definitely one of the best in the area. Also a solid place to meet for an interview or 1-to-1, as the sharp-looking surroundings should suit the business formality. NB: Tras Street itself has many shophouses which have a mixture of full-length French windows and half-length casement windows so you'll be taking photos.)

They are known for giant puff pastry, with a lot of custard in it. I haven't really gone there in such a long time, but seems like it's a good place to try it out.

Hipster coffee shop known in Japan for their amazing latte art. They make everything from Hokkaido cows milk which is flown in. I was more impressed by their variety of coffee beans to be honest. The costa rican and ethiopian ones were stellar. Their affogato, well lets say its not like you're italian one, way way more ice cream, and not gelato, its a soft serve made from the aforementioned cow's milk. I'm not saying its not good, but its a affogato just in a manner of speech, I'd more call it soft serve with espresso! They have decent food options too, but its all about the coffee and milk!

5 stars for the cream puff; it was so good, we went back the very next day for more. The expresso drinks were good, but the Hokkaido milk shines in the cream puff and less so in the coffee drinks (don't know about the tea-based drinks). Service was warm & professional. Barista is indeed an artist, check out that rose! They are sticklers about opening time, please respect that - don't enter before even if the door is unlocked & open; if the sign says closed, they're closed.

We are yelp elites from the San Francisco area so our love is made around hipster coffee shops and this place nailed it! The decor is so cute on the inside and there is plenty of seating and outlets for anyone wanting to study. The coffees are simple but very delicious. I wanted to go back everyday if I could i got the iced vanilla coffee!

Cute atmosphere (wishing there were more flexible seating options) but I brought my mom there for mother's day and the desserts were quite tasty. The latte art was adorable and the staffs were very friendly!

Very good. Order poodle dessert. Hokkaido milk drink is good. Quick service. Good ambiance
