Kopi O Milo Cream Puff

If you’re someone who loves exploring unique dessert creations, Baristart Coffee’s Kopi-O Milo Cream Puff is an absolute must-try. What makes this dessert stand out is its perfect blend of Singapore’s iconic kopi-o (black coffee) and Milo flavors, infused into a cream puff with a delightfully crispy outer layer. The center surprises you with a luscious Milo lava ice cream, which melts beautifully in your mouth, creating a harmonious balance between bittersweet coffee notes and rich, chocolaty malt from the Milo. I recently had the chance to try this dessert on a casual weekend outing, and it completely lived up to the hype. Paired with their high-quality speciality coffee, it was a perfect indulgence. The cream puff’s texture—crispy yet airy—combined with the cold and creamy molten center, made the experience refreshing and satisfying, especially on a sunny Singapore afternoon. What I also loved about Baristart Coffee’s new menu is the thoughtful inclusion of Japanese flavors, like their Grilled Miso Black Cod Ochazuke, which combines tender Saikyo-yaki black cod with aromatic tea-infused dashi and Nanatsuboshi rice. This dish is comfort food that feels both authentic and innovative. The Wagyu Striploin Steak, served with a medley of sauces including yuzu kosho and yuzu radish sauce, delivers a tender, melt-in-your-mouth experience that’s perfect for steak lovers. For pasta aficionados, the Classic Aka Napolitan Pasta features house-made Napolitan sauce, complemented by shishito peppers, cherry tomatoes, Grana Padano cheese, and a sunny-side-up egg. The flavors are vibrant and comforting, an excellent choice if you want a hearty, satisfying meal. One great tip for visiting Baristart Coffee is to head there before August 31, 2026, to experience the exclusive Kopi-O Milo Cream Puff, as this unique creation will only be available until then. Located at 65 Tras Street, this café combines Japanese cafe culture with Singaporean flavors, making it a perfect spot for foodies looking for something both new and comforting. Overall, Baristart Coffee’s new menu is a celebration of quality ingredients and creative fusion, offering everything from exquisite desserts to mesmerizing main courses. Whether you come for the Wagyu steak, the nostalgic yet novel cream puff, or the comforting ochazuke, you're in for a memorable dining experience.
