The conversation went like this -
Me: What is the flavour of ice cream I can choose for the affogatto?
Staff: Usually we put Vanilla Ice Cream.
Me: I love vanilla! 😍
Call me old-fashioned or classic, but for me, you can’t go wrong with vanilla ice-cream and truly enough, Creamier’s handcrafted vanilla went well with the brewed coffee. Was not disappointed at all! The only qualm would just be the crowds that surprisingly come in even after 3:00 P.M. on a Friday! This is also my weekly treat, of course coupled with walks and regular exercises…lah.

Classic - also the vibes Toa Payoh gives, as the first town progressively planned and developed by the Housing Development Board (the public housing statutory board of Singapore). Creamier is conveniently located at Block 128 of Lorong 1 Toa Payoh, not too far to walk to Caldecott or Braddell MRT stations (I tried from Braddell, not from Caldecott yet). Creamier also has pledged to give discounts to customers who BYO cups or tupperware for ice-creams (especially during peak periods), and also do not give plastic straws but, if requested they will provide straws to customers.

I also love their collaborations with @epigrambooks (not framed) and @oicsingapore to make the café more lively and artsy despite the cosy shop unit.

If you look closer, you’d see me attempting some rough sketches I did at Creamier, something I do to relax. It can be therapeutic, though yes, self-enrichment/help/comfort techniques differ person-to-person. And, my trusty magnetic bookmark bought from a vendor from Ipoh at @samasamaperak @konghengsquareartisanmarket (forgot which vendor, so if you do find out do tag her).
