I'm surprised that for such a Cute Adorable Name like "Nimmies" 😚 this Cafe was a Huge Dedicated Building by itself. 😳 As expected for a Modern Cafe, this is Popular with the Younger Crowd although I do occasionally see some Older Folks too. 

Nicely Air-Conditioned, ❄️ the Interior was Renovated like some Faux European Cafe with One Particular Part made to look like some kind of "Art Piece Sitting Area" 打卡区 🖼️ specifically for Instagram Glamour Shots. 📷

There were noticeably quite alot of people even at 8.30am on a Friday Morning 🌞 when I was there, although it was not Full House. It certainly got more crowded as time went on. Ordering of Food is thru a QR Menu 📜 and if you choose the Option to Pay at Counter, 💵 you will need to pay at the Cashier first before they will process your Order. 

Do try to prepare a Close Amount if you are paying Cash as I noticed the Cashier got a Mild Panic Attack when I gave 2 x RM50 Notes to pay for my RM61.50 Bill. 💵😅 He seemed so Flustered and Stressed out. Maybe he's New. 😅

The Rest of the Staffs were Polite and keep to themselves. 👍 I checked with a Cute Chirpy Indian Lady Staff if the Pastries are all made In-House and she confirmed it and also say they have their In-House Bakery. 🔥👍 Impressive. At least their Pastries are not from some Supplier somewhere. 🥐😅 It took 3 Mins for my Chai Latte, 5 Mins for the Taro Combolini and 7 Mins for their Pistachio Supreme. Everything was up in 7 Mins. Not Bad Timing considering the amount of people when I was there. 👍

☕ Chai Latte (Hot) = RM14.00

I honestly can't remember the last time I drank something that has "Latte Art" on it. Hahaha Too Overly Atas for me. ☕😅 Not something that I drink regularly tbh. I do appreciate the Art here tho, and from what I know this requires quite abit of Skill. 👍

That said, I was slightly disappointed it is the Regular "Palm Tree" type of Design as their QR Menu seemed to suggest I'd be getting "Felix the Cat" design instead. 🐱😅 Maybe you can request them to draw something else under the "Remarks" section when you order such Latte Art? ☕🤔 

The Drink itself has a Faint but Noticeable Cinnamony Aroma. 🌿 The 1st thing your lips touch is the Top Foam and it is Very Foamy. 🫧 As you continue to take in the Drink, the Beverage is Noticeably Milky but not Overly So with an Aftertaste of Chamomile. 🌼☕

These are the 3 Main Taste that I tasted from this Beverage: Cinnamon, 🌿 Milk 🥛 and Chamomile. 🌼 None of them are Overly Overpowering are compliment each other together in a Nice Pleasing Mix.☕😋 Not Overly Sweet. Not a Bad Drink. Expensive Obviously, but Not Bad.

🥐 Pistachio Supreme Croissant = RM19.00

This one is supposed to be their Signature Pastry here. 🥐 Although it calls itself a Croissant, it isn't shaped like the Stereotypical Crescent Shape. Rather, it looks more like a Mini Bread Loaf. 🍞 The Top Layer is a Hardened Layer of Icing Sugar with Pistachio Flakes. Not Overly Sweet yet with a Nice Sugary Tease. 😋

The Main Croissant itself is Outside Crispy and Inside Soft and Fluffy. Because this is Made In-House, 🔥 it has a Nice Freshly Baked Texture with a Noticeable Buttery Undertone. 🧈😋

The Main Highlight is the Pistachio Cream within. 🍯 Its not those Molten Hot type but it is Liquidy. Abit like 流沙包, breaking this Pastry apart will have this Cream flow all over. 🍯😋 The Taste of this cream is Prominently Milky but also Not Overly Milky Type. Also not Overly Sweet, the Pistachio Taste in this is Noticeable. 👍

If you have noticed, nothing about this Pastry is Overly Sweet at all. 👍 Sweetness is just nice. I really do like this, but because the Cream burst out when you break it apart, this is going to be challenging to eat without looking like a Savage Barbarian. Hahaha! 🥐😅 Mixing the Crispy and Soft Croissant with this Pistachio Cream was Delish. 😋

I however do not recommend pairing this Pistachio Croissant with the Chai Latte though, 🥐☕ 🙅‍♂️ because the both of them have a Milky Taste, this Double Combo of Milkiness may be a Tad Too Jelaky Milky for some People I reckon. 🥛🤔 If you are ok with this, I'd say sure go ahead and order this especially if you enjoy Pastries that Break Apart with Liquidy Cream like 流沙包. 🍯😋

🍩 Taro Cromboloni = RM20.00

This was a Pretty Big Sized Pastry and feels Heavy too. 🍩🤔 Just like a Croissant, its made with Beautiful Folds within. 👍 The Top Cream has a Sourish Sweetish Fruity Appetizing Taste. 🍎😋 This is then Topped with Coconut Shreds which adds abit of Texture and Decor. 🥥😋


Interestingly, there are also Small Little Purple Cubes that are Tasteless. 🤔 Really Tasteless and I think this is the sort of Edible Cake Decor that you normally find in a Baking Speciality Shop like Phoon Huat. 🤔 Other than Decor, these Small Purple Cubes don't contribute to any taste.

Breaking apart this Pastry shows the Superb Layering. 👍 There is a Yam Cream Filing within, not as much and is more Viscous and not as Flowing as the Pistachio Croissant. 🍯 It has a Very Delicious Noticeable Taste of Finely Pureed Taro that is Mild and not Overpowering. 🍯😋 I like the taste of this Taro Filling, its Well Made and has a Good Atas Taste to it. Overall, the Crunch of this Cromboloni mixed with this Nice Taro Filling makes this a Good Tasting Pastry. 🍩😋

Conclusion and Closing Thoughts

At a Total Combined Price of RM61.50 (S$19.00) this place is Not Cheap. 🤔 If we break it down, its an average of about S$6.40 per item. I'm not sure how much more cheaper is it compared to Cafes in Singapore since I don't frequent such Cafes in the first place. 😅

From a Culinary Standpoint, I feel the Pastries are Well Made and Well Designed. 👍 At the very least, 吃的出来 they actually bake their Pastries inhouse. 🔥🥐 I do like the Atmosphere of this place and most of the Staffs here are Friendly, 😄 although the Poor Chap at the Cashier looked like he's going thru a Mild Panic Attack when I paid him in Cash. 💵😅

Not the sort of place I would visit regularly due to the Higher Prices, I reckon this would appeal more to the Younger Instagram Crowd, 📷 or for Young Dating Couples. 👩‍❤️‍👨 If you enjoy visiting such Cafes and feel that the Price here is Acceptable for you, I can still recommend to give this a try. I enjoyed my time here.
