Alternative Coffee Works

Latte or pour-over blend? At Alternative Coffee Works, you can choose your coffee based on how you’d like to enjoy its flavour. The café latte on the menu has a distinct coffee taste even with milk. Visitors have described it as smooth and creamy, with a proper espresso bitterness. One guest who paired a cappuccino with Lotus cheesecake felt the espresso’s natural sweetness and roasted notes went well with the cake. It’s an easy menu to choose from whether you prefer the mellow quality of milk or a more pronounced coffee flavour.

For a closer taste of the beans, try the blend. The menu describes it as clean-tasting, with a balance of bitterness, sweetness and acidity. Someone who tried the pour-over noted aromas reminiscent of caramel and cashews, and a well-rounded flavour without pronounced bitterness. For a more concentrated cup, choose the espresso. The menu describes it as full-bodied and rich, with mellow bitterness and sweetness. Comparing it with a latte offers a chance to enjoy the different character milk brings to the coffee.

If you’d like something sweet with your coffee, Lotus cheesecake is a popular pick among reviewers. Some say the cinnamon aroma of the Lotus cookie works well with the cheesecake’s gentle milky flavour; another guest enjoyed the combination of a rich, not-too-sweet filling and biscuit. Opinions differ on the texture, but it’s a pairing to savour a little at a time alongside coffee. Scones and muffins are other options. One visitor described the scone as crisp yet fluffy, while someone who ordered a latte and muffin enjoyed the pairing of an aromatic latte with a satisfyingly sweet muffin.

You can enjoy your drink in the café or take it away. Some visitors have mentioned the music played on vinyl records and the relaxed atmosphere, making it a place to linger over a coffee.
