Cafe Sketchwalk 1.3 - Chye Seng Huat Hardware Coffee Bar

Up close and personal with the espresso machines and baristas.

I first learned about Chye Seng Huat Hardware (再成發五金) Coffee Bar when my friend posted their visit on Facebook. I was intrigued and tickled by the very old school, traditional Chinese family business name.

However, the place is anything BUT old school. The hustling and bustling interior serves fantastic Java with beans prepared at its very own roastery just next to its dining area.

There is a comfort in watching the baristas methodically prepare the orders of coffee during peak hours. Even during peak periods, they will still patiently prepare yours with intricately designed latte art: individually, carefully, beautifully.

This is definitely a place that demands a second visit - to explore the menu, experience the space and indulge in the atmosphere.
