We visited Bynd Artisan+Sunday Folks in Ion Orchard Experience Store on Sunday weekend for teatime moment. It is a new cafe in town opened in Singapore on end of August, with the collaboration on two big brands namely Bynd Artisan and Sunday Folks. Bynd Artisan is a famous handmade leather and paper gift retail store. Sunday Folks is a famous handcraft dessert cafe. The interesting collaboration of this retail + cafe style has definitely makes this store a nice place to visit, whether it is to buy some gifts for your loved one, or just to have some luxury tea time moment chit chatting with family and friends. The interior look of the store is shimmering bright with the theme of gold-ish and white-ish decoration, which make it appears elegant in the shopping mall itself! 💃😍

The menu is quite extensive with drinks and variety types of dessert available to order. All of the desserts are so Instagrammable, trust me! 💓 My eyes have been fixed on ice cream parfait & cake before visiting this cafe, due to the beautiful outlook of the desserts which make it so tempting to savour! 👀✌ After flip through the extensive menu, we have ordered items below:

1) Ice Cream Petits Gateaux/Ice Cream Cake: 

Menu Selection: Ete (blackcurrant ice cream with lemon mousse), Noir (dark chocolate ice cream tart with cherry), Marrakesh (pistachio ice cream with orange cream)

Price: SGD12 (Ete), SGD14 (Noir & Marrakesh)

Chosen Menu For Tasting: Noir

Taste Review: 

• Hard tart with dark chocolate ice cream inside, added with few big cherries.
• The tart is not the buttery and flaky type, it is a really "hard" (but crispy) tart that is very difficult to even cut it 😂. I think the hard texture of the tart is to prevent the ice cream inside from melting it easily and become soggy which will be not nice to eat.
• The mixture of cherries and dark chocolate ice cream make it special. They top it up with chocolate chunks for you to enjoy and also edible gold flakes which make it look even more elegant and "atas". 😎
• Come together is an hourglass which is used as a timer to let the ice cream "soften" and blend well with the cherries. Follow the 5 minutes timer ⏲set by the waiter for the best consumption time! It is so fun to look at and while gazing at the sands dripping down, don't forget to snap photos here and there! After all, where can you get such a unique photo opportunity of dessert with hourglass in Singapore if not here! 😉📸
• Overall personal opinion: Dark chocolate ice cream is not really high in intensity, for me I would prefer a thicker version and higher percentage of dark chocolate. But don't worry, it is not the cheap and runny type of chocolate. The quality of chocolate ice cream is still good to eat. They are very generous with big cherries too, which is not only refreshing but also elevate the dessert taste. Hourglass is cute to play with and unique kind of dessert tasting experience too!

2) Ice Cream Parfait: 

Menu Selection: Genmaicha Yuzu, Earl Grey Butterscotch, Rum Raisins & Apple.

Price: SGD18 (Slightly on steeper side but must try if you are here!)

Chosen Menu For Tasting: Earl grey butterscotch (due to most Instagrammable😂)

Taste Review: 

• A lovely combination of earl grey and butterscotch ice cream: which make it aromatic and smooth when enjoy this
• Fresh strawberries: on top as decoration and inside the glass as a refreshing layer when mix with the rest of ingredients and put into your mouth (not the preserved strawberries which is a plus)
• Almond biscuits: which make it crunchy and presents a different taste feeling when mix together with ice cream, nice when eat alone too as the biscuit is crisp in texture (not the "leakage of air" & "soggy" type of biscuit if you know what I mean)
• Earl gray jelly cubes: refreshing jelly cubes in between the layer when you eat, it is chewy and Q in texture, chilling to the mouth and aromatic when you bite it
• Overall personal opinion: a delicious treat for tea time, especially love the different layers of  taste that you can get here with just pure one dish! If you have only one thing to choose from in this cafe, please don't hesitate to opt for ice cream parfait! I have not try the rest of 2 flavors so can't compare the taste yet.

Taste Rating: 5⭐ (MUST ORDER! Nice to see, nice to hold, and even nicer to EAT! 😋)

3) Seasonal Tea: 

Menu Selection: Cherry Leaves Tea, Blackcurrant Tea, Orange Tea

Price: SGD8.50 (Blackcurrant Tea, Orange Tea) & SGD9 (Cherry Leaves Tea)

Chosen Menu For Tasting: Cherry leaves tea

Taste Review: 

• Cherry leaves have only very mild tea or fruity taste.
• Good for cleansing the palate after some sweet desserts.
• Overall personal opinion: as cherry leaves don't have much flavors to taste, it is a refreshing drink to balance up the sweet dessert. If you would prefer stronger aromatic scented tea maybe can opt for orange or blackcurrant tea. But if you would like light and clean texture, then opt for cherry leaves tea.

Taste Rating (over 5⭐) : 3.5⭐

4) Coffee: 

Menu Selection: Espresso Coffee, Filtered Coffee

Price: SGD4.50 (espresso coffee) ~ 8.50 (filtered coffee)

Chosen Menu For Tasting: Filtered Coffee (Finca Isnul)

Taste Review: 

• Finca Isnul coffee bean originated from Guantamela, central America region.
• Tasting notes are on plums, honey and milk chocolate taste.
• Filtered coffee is using V60 drip method which make the taste clear and fragrant to drink.
• Overall personal opinion: nice and aromatic coffee, the intensity is quite strong too! Coffee lovers will love this for sure! As it has been filtered, there is no powdery feeling and thus left a very clean and smooth taste when you sip through it, afterwards the aromatic smell of coffee beans flows out and lingers slowly on your tongue. Special leather holder from Bynd Artisan has been incorporated here too which make it fun while pouring the coffee!

Taste Rating (over 5⭐) : 4⭐

There is a leather holder from Bynd Artisan to let you hold the mug
while pouring out the coffee to the glass to drink.
A special sight to see when Bynd Artisan (leather store) cooperates with
Sunday Folks (dessert store) and how they have the creative idea to
mix and match to give you a fun tea time experience!

That's all for the sharing on Bynd Artisan + Sunday Folks @ Ion Orchard Experience Store. The total damage for 2 people was ~SGD58. Nice teatime session well spent in here! Afterwards, you can stroll and shop some leather products from Bynd Artisan too (many varieties displayed in the store, can check with staffs if you would like to customize for own product), or buy some cakes and ice cream from Sunday Folks if you are hunger for more desserts! Overall I get my craving fixed on good quality desserts here and definitely satisfy all the Instagrammers too with the fun hourglass and beautiful ice cream parfait!
