While we like our chocolate-coated waffle cones, it isn’t exactly a breakthrough in our millennial world of child-like cravings. But when you add frothy steamed milk mixed with Bandung syrup, the colour takes on a vivid rose quartz hue that instantly has that perfect Instagram look going on. The Coffee Academïcs Singapore brings us the first Bandung Babycino in a Cone, and we’re loving how photogenic the simple waffle cone is.
The Coffee in a Cone ($8.90) is also available in Piccolo, Babycino, and Hot Chocolate – these are items that have claimed their spot in The Coffee Academïcs Singapore’s menu.
I tried this for breakfast one day, and although that shade of pink looks like it can’t be healthy, it was au naturale with soothing milk and a sweet taste of Bandung. It also wasn’t as sweet as I thought it would be, making it a solid let’s-start-the-day-happy drink.
The chocolate-coated cone was crunchy which contrasted to the soft frothiness of the steamed milk, giving the cone a good balance of textures. The release states that the coffee-in-a-cone concept is patented, and that it involves a complex process where the cone is coated with four different chocolate compounds. This is meant to prevent leaking, while also giving the drink a chocolately taste.
But my cone started leaking five minutes in! Of course, that could be due to the unnecessary jostling of the cone while I took photos but even so, I had higher expectations of this patented process.
If you’re down at The Coffee Academïcs Singapore, don’t just try their Bandung Babycino in a Cone. They also host a mix of innovative classes, including their Signature Coffee Classes where coffee lovers brew their ideal cup of coffee. The Colour Your World Latte Art workshop adds a colourful twist to your standard latte art, and you can learn the skills of espresso brewing and milk frothing.
We wonder what next year’s special edition of the Coffee in a Cone will be.
The Bandung Babycino in a Cone is available for a limited time only at The Coffee Academics Singapore Flagship Store (#02-01/02 Scotts Square) and The Coffee Academics Raffles City (#B1-12 Raffles City Shopping Centre).
