The Bean Factory

At home, I am a study chameleon. I not only rarely use a table and chair, I can sit on floors with books on sofa or beds or just using beds for hours. Basically, you won't find me on a table and chair unless I go out to study. For a change of environment with the hopes of getting more done than by myself, I go out mostly with a friend to find just how many cafes aside from Starbucks and Coffee Bean have a working environment that allows us enjoy a good drink beside our notes and math frustrations. So far my reoccurring haunt as of late is The Bean Factory. Shoutout to Chan Yng for introducing this cool place to me.



Decked out in a rustic with a dab of modern minimalism decor, this cool cafe is located on the first floor at a corner on one of the blocks at Lido Plaza. The seating area is basically sort of split in to two where one area is black comfy leather chairs and brown brick walls that for some reason makes you feel at home. The other area are some high rise table and chairs with nearby sockets for you to plug in your lappie/phone with plenty of natural light flooding through glass walls to clear your mind of the white noise and city bustle. Truthfully you can work or hang in either of the areas as both are equally cozy and always just quiet enough for your squad to chat endlessly or even for that much needed me time to get things done.

The place is new and there is wifi which has their password printed on your receipt once you order and pay. They not only have the general coffee, tea and latte assortments that are superb, they got juice and surprising twist on a few of your basic drinks. Like cotton candy on your hot chocolate (the lady I saw who ordered it look pretty much in heaven). You could totally get your breakfast on with their waffles and cakes. They do also serve things like salads and a bit of a proper meal though I suspect they switch it up sometimes. Let the pictures show you what I'm talking about:

Huge thanks to Priscilla, one of the best study buddy any person could ask for, in keeping me on track and for all the good chatter over lattes. She also has a blog of her own which include some pretty cool short stories and novel recommendations that you can check out by simply clicking "blog" here. Kay that's all for now and seeya next time!
