Brewtown is one such cafe which is pumping out the cronuts at a unbelievable rate. Tucked away from busy King St, this cafe stands out with a lively ambiance of customers all wanting to relax with a good coffee and food. Many customers were constantly coming into the cafe to order multiple coffees and cronuts for takeaway as well.
The cronuts came in four different flavours: chocolate, glazed, cinnamon and jam. I tried the jam cronut first and it was divine! The pastry layers were buttery and well balanced with the sweetness of the icing sugar sprinkle and luscious strawberry jam. This was definitely a trade up from your everyday croissant or jam donut and worth the calories! On the other hand, the cinnamon cronut was still tasty with the same lovingly made buttery pastry but to me, the flavour and texture wasn't as sensational as the jam cronut. It was much like the Chinese egg puff (沙 翁) you get in yum cha with the same sugary coating.

Coffee here also exceeded expectations. It was evident that a lot of care has been put into each coffee they serve simply from the beautiful latte art and more importantly the robust, aromatic and well rounded flavour.

The loose leaf spiced chai was a delight and possibly one of the best I have ever had. Unlike the chai at Bread & Circus, this tea was gently spiced and homely in flavour and was a wonderful accompaniment to the cronuts.
