The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (NEX): A Bright Start with "Food for Thought"
My recent breakfast meeting at The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf at NEX was a pleasant experience, especially with their appealing "Food for Thought" breakfast set. It's clear this is a spot that understands how to kickstart your day, whether you're dining solo or having a morning meeting.
The "Food for Thought" breakfast set itself is a fantastic offering. For just $7.90 for one set, or an even better value at $11.90 for two, it's a wonderfully hearty and balanced meal.
The star of the show was the Sliced Brioche & Coddled Eggs. The brioche was wonderfully soft and slightly sweet, making a delightful base for the perfectly coddled eggs. The runny yolks were pure comfort, a delicious complement to the bread.
Alongside this, the set included Overnight Oats, which were creamy and refreshing, adding a healthy and wholesome element to the meal. The refreshing Side Salad provided a much-needed burst of freshness, rounding out the set beautifully. Each component felt thoughtfully put together, ensuring a satisfying and well-rounded breakfast.
To complete the set, I enjoyed a hot Americano. While it was robust and perfectly adequate for my morning caffeine fix, and the option of hot or iced, small or regular, allows for nice customisation, as a preference for the thicker volume of Robusta coffee, I wouldn't say this long black was the absolute best I've ever enjoyed.
Beyond the food, the ambience at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf at NEX is great for a breakfast meeting. It's bright, comfortable, and has a relaxed buzz that allows for conversation without being too loud. The comfortable seating and clean environment made it an ideal spot to plan out the day or catch up with someone.
Overall, if you're looking for a delicious, hearty, and value-for-money breakfast in a pleasant setting, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf at NEX's "Food for Thought" set is highly recommended. It's a genuinely enjoyable way to start your day.

Sylvia Ang known as Ang Lay Kheng has a breakfast promotion. I had scrambled egg & turkey bacon
Spanish latte ice. The scrambled eggs are perfect
Salt to your taste. It goes with the toast. The salad is refreshing.
Recently walked Coffee Bean Nex. Took a short cut to escalator. When I free will dine in
5/5 stars! I Sylvia Ang, also known as Lay Kheng Ang, recently visited Coffee & Tea Leaf at 23 Serangoon Central, #02-K10 NEX, Singapore 556083, and had a great experience! I took advantage of their promotion, which included 2 sets of Tuna & Egg Mayo sandwiches and 2 drinks (Hazel & Americano, one hot and one iced) for just $10. What a value for money! And to top it off, it came with seasonal fruit, which was a lovely touch! I'll definitely be back to try more. Highly recommend visiting, especially on weekdays from 12 midnight to 12 noon. Great spot!"

First time having their chendol at Nex. Unfortunately, it doesn’t taste like chendol. It tasted like latte with whipped cream. Very disappointing! The saving grace was their staff are very polite when i asked for a bit more syrup.
Will never ordered their chendol again.

Surprise to find this outlet is 24hour which really makes convenient if you are looking for a place for early breakfast (actually, not that early…) we really like the pomegranate avocado toast. Interesting combination which we haven’t tasted anywhere else. Unfortunately, the omelette was a bit tasteless. Prob very healthy though… the one that really stood out was the “little hash brown”. Hot and crispy. No comment about the coffee. A convenient place to go if you suddenly crave western style breakfast in the early am.

Sylvia Ang known as Ang Lay Kheng had mini croissant & Scramble egg
& hazel Americano. The croissant go well with scramble egg. The hot coffee is refreshing
Waffles & Egg Platter, Baked Bean & Seasonal Salad with vanilla Americano. This are the promotion from Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, 23 Serangoon Central, #02-K20 Nex 556083. The 2 iced vanilla Americano every sip taste good.I, Sylvia Ang, known as Lay Kheng Ang say the waffle comes with honey. Egg got to eat with baked bean to balance the favour. Every bite of the baked bean taste good. I enjoyed my Coffee Bean breakfast. 5.5 rating. Will recommend friend to come. The team are busy with customers. They display their best

Subject: Feedback Regarding Mouldy Muffin and Poor Service Experience
This morning at around 9:10am, my friend and I ordered 2 breakfast sets at your The Serangoon Nex outlet. However, we were extremely disappointed to find that the pandan muffin served was mouldy. Unfortunately, my friend had already eaten part of it before noticing.
I was lucky to have taken a photo of the muffin for evidence, but what disappointed us further was the lack of apology from your staff. Even after we highlighted the issue, there was no proper acknowledgement or apology, especially to my friend who had already consumed the mouldy item.
Additionally, your staff took my original receipt instead of just taking a photo of it. I regret handing it over, as I now do not have proof of my purchase for follow-up purposes.
This experience was very upsetting and not what we expected from your establishment. I hope you will look into this matter seriously and ensure food safety and better service standards in the future.
Please let me know if you require the photo of the muffin for your internal review.
Thank you.

This is one of the most frequent CBTL outlets for us as it is near our place. However, most of the time, the cafe is always full house and always needed to wait for quite a while before we can get a table (limited number of tables due to the space constraints).
Having said that, the foods and drinks are consistently nice and yummy. We always ordered the iced mocha, tuna sandwich and rainbow cake and they are so good!
Service wise, staff are overall efficient and polite and there's a male staff (I think from China) and he's friendly and always gives diners recommendations or inform diners about the latest promotions. Currently (at the time of our visit), there is a 50% discount on hot latte. Good deal!
We always enjoy our dinning here!

Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf: A Sweet Surprise
I recently ordered the Chicago Cheesecake and Chocolate Cake from Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf for a special occasion.
The delivery was prompt and efficient, and to my delight, both cakes arrived intact, perfectly packaged, and ready to be enjoyed.
The Chicago Cheesecake was a dream come true for any cheesecake lover. The crust was buttery and flaky, while the filling was incredibly smooth and creamy. There was a subtle tanginess that balanced the sweetness perfectly, making every bite a delightful experience.
The chocolate cake was equally impressive. The chocolate flavor was rich and intense, complemented by a moist and tender cake texture.
The cakes were not only delicious but also arrived in excellent condition, making them a perfect choice for any special occasion.

Coffee Bean @ NEX is a fantastic spot for anyone looking for a convenient and affordable breakfast, especially on weekdays. Their 24-hour service makes it an excellent choice for early birds or night owls. I was particularly impressed with their weekday breakfast combo, which is not only delicious but also very budget-friendly.The seating area is clean and comfortable, providing a pleasant atmosphere to enjoy your meal or coffee. The overall vibe of the place is welcoming and relaxing, making it a great spot to start your day or unwind after a long one.
