Lucine by LUNA | tiramisu lattes!! ✨☕️📍Somerset
Hi lemon8!! 🍋
I was looking for cafes in the Somserset area and stumbled upon Lucine by LUNA at 111 Somerset, right next to the super popular Rise Bakehouse @ TripleOne Somerset !! The queue at Rise was super long so I was really happy to head into the less crowded Lucine 😁 and at 3.30pm on a Saturday, I was lucky to find a cozy seat!! (I think there may be seats at the opposite side of the walkway also, so it’s really not too bad seats-wise) and honestly this place is wonderful for yapping and it’s central too!!
Food:
I got the Tiramisu latte ($8.50) and the Chocolate Rocher cake ($8.80). Price-wise definitely on a pricier end but that’s cafes for you… but I actually really loved the cake because of how dense and chocolatey it was!! There was even a salty layer which was so so good 🤤🤤 my bf and I really enjoyed this cake and the price does fit its quality. 🍰
As for the tiramisu latte, I thought it was quite cute and maybe it was just me because I thoroughly mixed the foamy mascarponey layer into the drink, but I lowkey could not fully taste the tiramisu aspect??? But the COFFEE TASTE,, amazing!!! We chose a stronger level of coffee so maybe that’s why too but no regrets though, I loved the coffee aroma ☕️🫘
Rating /⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
💰 Price: $$/$$$
Would I go again?: YES - I would definitely go and eat the cake and try the other drinks (salted cream americano is next on my list!!)
If you're planning a visit to Lucine by LUNA, here are a few tips to enhance your experience. The café, located right next to the popular Rise Bakehouse, offers a quieter alternative especially during busy weekends. Seating is available both inside and across the walkway, so you can find a cozy spot even when it feels crowded. Their chocolate rocher cake stands out for its dense texture and unique salty layer, making it a dessert worth sharing. While the tiramisu latte showcases a strong coffee presence, some might find the tiramisu flavor more subtle, especially if you prefer mixing the mascarpone foam thoroughly. Next on my list is the salted cream americano, which I've heard is a delightful mix of creamy and robust coffee flavors. Also, keep an eye out for seasonal menu updates at Lucine by LUNA, as they offer various cake and drink flavors that capture the café's artistic vibe. The prices sit on the premium side, but the quality justifies the cost, perfect for a special treat or meeting friends. For those in the Somerset or Orchard area looking for a cozy café with unique dessert options and excellent coffee, Lucine by LUNA is definitely worth a visit.
