Came in on a Friday late morning and it was already really busy, it being the eve of cny. But the staff were very responsive and got us a table almost immediately, and served us very efficiently throughout.
Outdoor seating area is great on days with good weather.
We ordered pancakes, mushroom toast and a side of sourdough. The sourdough arrived first (??), then the French toast, followed by the mushroom toast, which I thought was a really weird order.
The French toast was dry and it was not soaked through at all. It was essentially toast. Sourdough was soggy and cold. Mushroom toast was ok albeit pretty oily. Coffee was ok, although the oat milk was pretty strong and overwhelmed the coffee a tad too much.
However, the food was really subpar, especially for the price point. Would not go back.

Only a few min walk from Botanic Garden mrt.
Their coffee was great (I got a flat white), sourdough bread was good (didn’t toughen up after it was heated some time later). Peaceful and lovely outdoor sitting. Do check this place out!

Came here on a Friday lunch and the restaurant was packed and seats were available with a 10mins wait so it’s manageable.
The pasta is really quite good. Had the cereal prawn pasta and I could taste the niceness of the aglio itself.
The cereal is basically poured over after the pasta has been cooked.
Complimentary tap water is given too.
Overall quite tasty and performed to its name.

Can I say I came here because it's pet friendly and I really needed to pet some furbabies? Was seated outside, we came for late lunch around 3pm, place was crowded but we were seated immediately.
Ordered the steak and hash,Chicken sandwich, and kouign aman.
Kouign aman was served first when it shud be last. It was not up to the standard of what a kouign aman is supposed to be (crispy on the outside and soft on the inside) but nevertheless it's still yummy because they used a ton of butter and sugar, as they should. Steak and hash was decent, didn't expect to see that much steak, but for the price, there shud be. Chicken was too oily for my taste. Will probably come back to try other dishes because nothing really stood out this time.

Atlas has been around for a while now every since my schooling days, and I decided to revisit it for the nostalgia.
Overall I was deeply disappointed by the
• food was decent, the bread and soba were both slightly above average though nothing to shout about. I’d eat the soba again.
• the coffee on the other hand, was absolutely dismal. Tried one of their specialty ones (no pic of that unfortunately) and one of the normal flat whites - it was acidic, sour, and 🤢 my friend who’s much more well versed in coffee than me agreed that it was terrible for the price paid and for taste. Go to alchemist or common man and you’ll get much more lovely taste that’s worth the $. So disappointment especially since COFEEHOUSE is in the name! :(
The + is that the outside is pet friendly, and nicely between Botac MRT and Tan Kah Kee MRT.
Will i be back? For the food perhaps, and to try other things, esp if i bring a pet. But i wouldn’t go out of my way for it.

Went on a Sunday brunch hour, it was really crowded, luckily we manage a table after 5 minutes of waiting. Wide selection of food and coffee menu, nice food, great coffee, uses same bean as Neptune cafe
Not much sitting space. Had to sit outside for a while and thankfully someone left so managed to go inside. Music is not too loud and quite cozy. As expected coffee house food is what you expect, price around 20 and above. It’s a reasonable portion though the steak hash is really more worth it than their everyday breakfast. Thank goodness water is free and most services are digitalized so no need to take order. Food arrived quite timely too so no need wait too long. Maybe will come back again when I feel more willing to spend but generally not my style of dining. Service was quite mediocre cos it’s a young crowd servicing.
