Item(s) Ordered (Photos taken as inconspicuous as possible with my phone):
Apple Crumble along with their specialty beans being concocted into a Latte
After me and my friend's stint at Betty Midwest Kitchen, we adjourned to this place called BroadBean Cafe as I crave to have a cup of coffee after meal. I have not been to Aman Suria for so long and seeing so many cafe's that popped up around the area, it motivates me to wanna try them out. Since we were already at Betty's Midwest Kitchen earlier, we just decided to walk a few doors down to arrive at BroadBean Cafe.
This place looks nice with it's many wooden like settings and they are painted in bright colors thus without them even needing to on all their light fixtures, it still looks bright enough. In order to enter through the door, the staff would need to press a remote to release the door and it is normally kept locked....well at least during the time I was there which is a night time. I can relate to that since this area is quite a quiet area and is quite dark and so safety may be a concern when night comes. We sat ourselves down and they handed menus to us.
I ordered the Apple Crumble to try and a latte to get my caffeine fix. They had some specialty beans from Colombia and Guatemalan which I first chose Colombian. I was gonna go for the hand pour but I was recommended against it and the barista told me that it's better to be made into coffee from the coffee machine. I'm not sure why this is the case but went with what he said anyway and so he went over to the coffee machine to brew my cup of coffee. It took quite a while but later on, the barista came up to me and said that due to calibration issues, he's unable to get it right for the Colombian beans and can only serve the Guatemalan beans which I agreed. Not much of a choice anyway. It's either that or the commercial beans. LOL. And so back he went to work on my cup of coffee.
Besides me and my friend, there were 2 other tables of patrons inside which seemed to have hanged around for sometime and there's one more guy sitting on the outside table setting. Later on, some loud obnoxious China man like people coming in and speaking really loudly like a true mainland China uncles. LOL.
After much testing and getting things right, my latte finally arrived. Yay! It looks really good from his handiwork which got me a little impressed just by looking at his artwork and the beautifully outlined lines between the milk and the coffee. Once the beverage were on our tables they immediately get on serving our Apple Crumble.
After taking the pictures as fast as we could (since the Apple Crumble has a scoop of ice cream on top), we emphatically use our utensils of choice to tackle the Apple Crumble. Before that, I had a sip of the latte to gauge on the niceness of the coffee and I can tell you that I tasted hints of fruitiness and chocolatey taste with some sweetness coming from the milk that blended exquisitely delightful on the caffeine drink. But what blew us away the most was the unexpected delectable taste of the Apple Crumble. We certainly weren't ready nor expecting such a gem of a dessert in such an unexpected place. Every bite of the Apple Crumble brought us to taste heaven and back and left us craving for more. The ice cream on top, if I'm not mistaken, looks like it's from Ben & Jerry's. The Apple Crumble by itself tasted mesmerizing with pure apples sweetness within the pie and their golden crumble pastry that envelops it was buttery smooth with a mixture of salty and sweet with every bite. The ice cream on top just provided an extra kick to the already impeccable pie which I find it a dessert worth every penny of it.
My friend later packed home another one to bring to office to eat since he needed to work late that night. As far as I'm concern, the staff there tries very hard to please their customers and will recommend what they feel is best to enjoy the food the most. They certainly get 2 thumbs up from me.
Total Wallet Damage:
I'm not sure again. It's hard to keep track when I'm out with other people and I don't keep the receipt. LOL. But the Apple Crumble costs a mere RM13.20.
Final Verdict:
8/10. Yes, I'm basing it solely on that one dessert I had along with the good coffee that got me waiting. But here's the deal though, the service is pretty good too plus a warm ambiance that makes you feel cozy.
