Seldom do we see cafes around the North, but if we look hard enough, there are a few uncovered places around. RoyceMary Cafe is a dainty cafe situated opposite Sembawang Shopping Center, nearby the popular Sembawang White Bee Hoon. Here, one can enjoy a cup of warm coffee paired with their favorite choice of dessert or pastry.


The hazelnut latte is one drink that I always order whenever I stop by a cafe. The rendition served at RoyceMary's is a delicate blend of espresso, hazelnut and steamed milk with a smooth and creamy body and a refreshing nutty aftertaste.
A special name given for their lemon curd tart topped with whipped cream and assorted berries - strawberries, blueberries and raspberries.

I was quite happy to see some raspberries on my tart, as it's uncommon to see it on desserts. Sadly the strawberries were a tad too sour for my liking. The lemon tart itself had a refreshing zesty piquant flavor with a firm and smooth texture, paired delicious well with the crumbly pastry crust.
Ashley is a total fan of Thai Milk Tea, so she couldn't resist ordering the Thai tea lava cake! So we decided to get the lava cake ($8.90) with an additional scoop of matcha ice-cream. ($3.50) The dish is then decorated with strawberries and blueberries with a final drizzle of chocolate syrup.

The exterior wasn't hard or cracked upon the first bite. It was just soft and chewy similar to a chewy cookie and I expected more of a crunch. The black sesame flavor was definitely pronounced in the macaroon.
RoyceMary Cafe is a cozy little space for one to enjoy a cup of coffee and enjoy a conversation with one or two. The owners were really hospitable as well, and I would definitely return here whenever I'm missing my coffee dose.
