Penny University

Utterly disappointed. 1) Made reservation online, but when we came, no tables were reserved for us. It was free seating. Thankfully it was not crowded so we got seats. 2) As seen in photo, they taped off half of the menu, leaving us with very little mains / choices of food to begin with. It was only 1pm. 3) They ran out of sausages, so they changed it turkey ham. At this point, should have just closed shop since nothing is available. 4) My friend ordered waffles. Suppose to come with fruits but there were only blueberries. Male staff told us that their bananas and strawberries had gone bad. Uhh maybe do a stock take or check before serving it to us? We asked for whipped cream, they didnt have it either and gave us a scoop of icecream. 5) Drink portions were ridiculously small. Overall did not have a good experience, and everything tasted mediocre despite is paying like $25 each.

The menu is pretty limited. In the end I decided to order kids waffle at $12 (if I remember correctly) I got: half waffle 2 small sausages 2 eggs 1 choco marshmallow the price is better than normal full waffle at $16 iirc

For penny regulars, this outlet doesn't give you the OG penny vibes, unfortunately. The only saving grace was, spiked muddy. The rest was underwhelming. Cheese cake was passable. No wow. Wouldn't travel to this outlet again. Sorry. Wondering should i give the jalan klapa a try? What if it is also a disappointment ? Might as well go to dutch coffee 🫥 Update July25 - gave another chance, yep spiked muddy is great as before. Flat white normal, doesn't bring any joy. - went to Jalan Klapa outlet last month, coffee was much better but still not as joyful as DCC.

Ive been patronising Penny University for so many years @ East Coast outlet and this is my first time here at new location Wisma Geylang Serai! Great Ambience and great service! Food is great as usual, love the squid ink fried rice and Moules Frites, got myself Sakura Blossom drink, my all time favourite waffles and Cheese burnt Basque! Their New Cold Brew Drink is to go for. Love the milky taste fresh brewed bottled coffee. My experience is Definitely a full 5 star!

Who knew kimchi with cheese all grilled in sourdough bread would be amazing! Kudos for that as well as the amazing Ethiopian filtered coffee and white. Coffee standards still unfaltered. The team is cheerful and inviting. A debunk of others' previous reviews. I understand that this is the teething period from a soft launch. Hopefully, the cafe will regain back its confidence of the brand and be the next hit. Will visit again next time.

We ordered aglio olio for 16 dollars. I dont mind the price if it was cooked well. Pasta was bland and had no flavour profile. I also ordered waffles which was normal but my main complain is the reuben sandwich. It was very salty because of the cured beef. I understand that cured is salt..but it overpowered the whole sandwhich..anw Total i spent around 71 dollars with 1 drink. Counter staff was friendly however when we arrived certain tables was still not clean. Im quite disappointed that i paid so much for food that is mediocre.

Ordered at 1110am. At 1140am i reminded them nicely that i ordered a grilled kimchi sandwich but the staff was rude? Like no apologies at all but just told me to sit down and wait. He claims that my order is on the way. The person who came in much later got her order fast except for mine. I mean if you’re understaffed you can explain it nicely to me instead of being so rude as if its blasphemous to ask a legit question. I honestly thought they forgot my order because i changed seats but was treated witj such attitude. Anyway, the coffee glass is also so small like so not worth the money. Dont bother.
