About this place
Dip a spoon into the custard pudding, and its pleasantly resilient texture gives way to a bittersweet caramel sauce pooling beneath. Among the confections at THOUSAND COFFEE, this dense, firm pudding is what draws many through the door. The Basque cheesecake is another highlight, showing off a nicely browned top, a smooth, melt-in-the-mouth crumb, and a pinch of salt to balance its rich sweetness.
For something savoury before dessert, thick-cut toast heaped with cheese and toasted until golden makes a satisfying choice. A blend of 3 cheeses delivers rich depth cut by a bite of black pepper, and drizzling over the accompanying honey brings out an appealing sweet-salty contrast. There is also a bacon-and-egg toast crowned with a runny fried egg, offering plenty of substance for a light meal.
The drinks list features gentle, easy-drinking brewed coffee, cappuccino, and iced caffè latte alongside an enticing tea selection. Options range from Sri Lankan Dimbula black tea and spiced chai to a whipped-and-honey milk tea topped with airy cream, or a house-made lemonade sweetened with honey and cane sugar.
The interior is intimate, seating just a handful of guests in a calm, quiet atmosphere. Scones, baked goods, and drinks are also available for takeout, making it easy to enjoy a favourite treat at home.
