service was very good. they serve us plain water without us asking for it and also regularly top our cups up. impressive for a cafe. We only had an almond croissant. v good. not that it surpasses other cafes but just good. The latte we had was very aromatic. above average.
The Place
Located amidst multiple cafes in Upper Serangoon is Amber Ember. This cafe is chic, quaint and definitely living up to its name! The interior is filled with an amber ember tone - with pink, orange and red hues - definitely relaxing!

14 May 2023A quaint place with a nice setup, a corner olive tree with mistletoe decoration. More importantly, the food is great, all the pastas were really delicious and well made. The service is also good and the restaurant is very spacious, so ample space and not overly squeezy or noisy. The only issue is for parking, as there no carparks at the place, so plan your route before going to know where to park. By public transport is convenient as the bus stop is right in front of the restaurant.

18 May 2023Spacious neighbourhood cafe with a warm minimalist decor. The tables are quite spaced out so you can chat away without overhearing the conversation in the next table. The long black coffee was flavourful. Nice variety of cafe food, from Açai Bowl to Brunch sets. An enjoyable spot to catch up with friends over coffee and a meal in a relaxing environment.

5 Jun 2023The cafe's excellent location is just behind the bus stop along the main road, making it easily accessible. For drivers, they can turn into Kampong Sireh and park at Upper Serangoon Shopping Centre. The service crew was prompt and welcoming, which was especially appreciated on a dreadful rainy day. The meal came at a cost of nearly $50, and similar to many establishments, orders were placed via a QR code on the table, and the online payment process was seamless. I decided to try the Tom Kah pasta, which offered a delightful Asian twist with its coconut reduction and prominent lemongrass flavors. However, the seared tiger prawns were slightly underwhelming and not as fresh as I had hoped. Additionally, I ordered the Amber Fried Chicken, which arrived promptly and was delicious with its maple soy glaze, crushed peanuts, and sesame seeds. As for beverages, I opted for the $9 Cold Shoulder White Brew with chocolate, but I wasn't a fan of it as I found the ice diluted the coffee flavor. The overall decoration of the eatery is stylish and functional, although it tends to get echoey. It would have been better if more measures were taken to reduce the noise level, especially when the place is at full capacity.

18 Jun 2023Attentive and polite staff. Food was great. The coffee cups are way too small? but it tasted great so I’m happy. Will visit again soon.
