Special Thanks to Ariel Lim from my Former FB Group for recommending this Cafe.
This was a Modern Cafe located right here in Taman Melodies which is a Dedicated Building all by itself. The Interior is Nicely Decorated with a Chill Chill Beach Surfing ⛱️ type of American Vibe 🇺🇸 with some Hip Hop Rap Tunes playing in the Background. 🎵🎶 Its Air-Conditioned, ❄️ Nice and Cooling and the Whole Place has a Nice Roasted Coffee ☕ and Pastry Aroma wafting about. 🥧 Not alot of Customers around when I was there around 4.00pm on a Friday Afternoon.
And THEY HAVE A SUPER CUTE LITTLE MANJA KITTEN IN THIS PLACE!!!! AHHHH!!! 🐱♥️ Super Energetic Little Furball whizzing and playing all over the place!! 😸♥️ Believe me when I say I was fighting the urge to grab it and violently cuddle and never let it go OMG! 😻
♥️ Sorry I lose my mind a little when I see a Cute Little Kitten. 😽😄 You know that Tiktok video of that Crazy China Girl screaming and violently cuddling and blowing Tummy Kisses on her Kitty? 😻😍 That's totally what I wanted to do right there and then Hahaha! ♥️
Ahem. Anyway, back to the place itself. 😅 I love that this place have their own Dedicated Bakery Oven 🔥 as you can see in the photo and bakes their own Pastries. 🔥🥧 I totally respect that.
The Signature Pastry here is their Homemade Apple Pie which isn't available all the time, so you need to be lucky. 🍎🥧 The Staffs are Friendly and I appreciate they took the time to explain their Specialty Coffee. ☕👍
It took 6 Mins for the Coffee to be served up, and 10 Mins for their Apple Pie. Everything was up in 10 Mins.
So apparently, they have their own House Coffee Blend which they will change on a Regular Basis. ☕🤔 If you order their "White Coffee" on the Menu, you will have a choice of what Blend they have that day. ☕🌞
I don't know how often they change their Blends tho. 🤔 The 2 Available that day was "Summer Swell" and "Pipeline Blend". I chose "Summer Blend" because I was intrigued with what they claim has an Orange Citrus touch. 🍊☕
Again like the Coffee Art done at Nimmies, its a Typical Palm Tree Design. 🌴 Its still intricately made though. It really does have a Nice Subtle Aroma of Oranges 🍊 mixed with Roasted Coffee Beans. 🫘 The First Taste of it is again a Foamy Mouthfeel 🫧 and there really is a Slight Orangey Citrusy Aftertaste. 🍊😋
The Hit from the Roasted Coffee comes in soon after. 🫘😋 Both Tastes are not Overly Strong, but neither are they too Mild and I thought they complimented each other very well. 👍 It really does feel like I'm drinking a "Summer Coffee" 🌞☕ if it makes any sense. Not Overly Milky or Overly Sweet, I thought this was a Very Well Unique Tasting Coffee. ☕😋
🍎🥧 Vamos Signature Apple Pie = RM18.00
Now THIS, I am Very Impressed. 👍 Beautifully Presented, this was a Thick Chonky Slice with a Scoop of Vanilla Ice-Cream on the Side. 🍦🥧 The Whole Thing is then powdered with bits of Cookie Crumbs. 🍪 The Vanila Ice-Cream didn't taste Overly Sweet 🍦 and it didn't taste like its taken from some Cheap Budget Ice-Cream Brand. 👍 I reckon they either made this themselves or the Ice-Cream itself is sourced from a more Atas Brand because the Sweetness is Quite Mild in this, really not the Overly Sweet Type. 🍦😋
The Apple Pie Skin is Beautifully Caramelized and instead of the Classic Lattice Braided style, 🪢 it resembled more like a Basque Burnt Cheesecake. 🧀🤔 The Bite Texture of the Skin is a Tad Doughy which caught me slightly off guard because I prefer my Apple Pie Crust to have a more Biscuity Feel. 🥧🤔 But this was still an Interesting Interpretation.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the Big Delicious Chunks of Apple Cubes 🍎 just bursting out from the Hot Ooey Gooey Filling. 🍎🍯 The Amount of Apple Pieces are legit generous and there are so much of them in this 1 Slice, that I think it is at least Half an Apple worth. 🍎♥️ The Apple Cubes are not the Super Soft 煮到烂烂 type but still Soft to the Bite. 🍎😋 There is also a Noticeable Mild Classic taste of Cinnamon that is not Overpowering. 🌿👍
I liked that the Whole Pie together with the Vanilla Ice Cream was not Overly Sweet at all. 🍦🥧 Everything was just nice, and it never got to the point where I thought the whole thing was too Jelaky Sweet to eat. 😋 Using Vanila Ice-Cream was a Good Choice here because it doesn't try to overtake the Hot Apple Filling and the 2 of them worked together beautifully. 🍦🥧👍 I only wished the Pie Crust was abit more Biscuity instead of Doughy thats all.

Conclusion and Closing Thoughts
At the Price of RM13.00 (S$4.00) for this Unique Citrusy Blend of Coffee, 🍊☕ I thought it was an Interesting Taste. Obviously not Cheap if you are more used to a Classic Type of Nanyang-Coffee, ☕🤔 but if you don't mind shelling out abit more for a more Experimental Brew, I feel this is worth a try. ☕👍
At the Price of RM18.00 (S$5.50) for this Slice of Apple Pie I can't help but compare this to the Apple Pies sold at Swisslink Cafe in Clementi which is S$3.20 a Slice (2023 Price), 🥧🤔 although to be fair both have their differences. This Vamos one feel alot Bigger and have an Extra Vanila Icecream that Swisslink doesn't, and its Crust has a more a Basque Burnt Cheesecake look. 🧀😋 But the one that hits the spot for me for Vamos is the Noticeable Generous Amounts of Large Apple Chunks 🍎♥️ which I absolutely adored. Both Vamos and Swisslink I feel are equally good in their own way. Any Fans of our SG Clementi Swisslink here? 😄
Overall an Acceptable Modern Cafe with Decent Foods at a Higher Cafe Price. I wished they provided more Value-Added Service like providing a Bottle of Free Plain Water 💧🤔 which other Cafes like Nimmies and even New Entry Coffee did. Although I certainly appreciate that they make their Pastries In-House. 🔥👍
If you don't mind the Prices on their Menu, I feel this is a Nice Place to Chillax. 😌 Although its more of a "Once in a While" type of place for me as I feel that such Modern Cafes are more suited for Young Dating Couples to Paktor in. 👩❤️👨 Just try your best to resist the Urge to Violently Rub your Face into that SUPER CUTE MANJA KITTY's BELLY!! 😻😍
