Design Trader by Vantage & Cafe

Once again - so yummy and great coffee!
Love it 💕lovely staff, great menu and nice venue!

Such a beautiful and calm cafe! The design features were obviously amazing and can confirm the toasted sandwich was amazing too!

Below is my review from 4 months ago. Credit where credit is due, I'm now proactively editing this from 2 to 5 stars. I've recently returned twice and it is back to what it was before - great service with care and attention to detail, clean tables, quiet enough to think and the internet is working. Nice one crew!

[previous review]
I used to love this place and came here most weekdays. Last month I returned from 4 months overseas to find it has completely changed. It now has really loud staff (whom would be perfect for a knockabout pub or bar), changing the whole ambience. I can no longer work/think here. Music is turned up. With all the noise, 3 people now talking loudly on phone calls as I write this; why not, they are no longer disturbing any ambience. Nowhere near the service experience of before, the interaction is totally different. To top it off, tables dirty each of the last 3 times I've been here, so I can’t start working whilst waiting for the coffee. Internet (which has been great for 2 years) still not working after a month. Same fitout/setup but totally different. I miss the service experience of Alicia, Artur (the French guy) and his female colleague from South America (Tatiana, I think), they were A-grade! You’ll see on my history I rarely review a place unless I’m giving 5 stars, but 3 times in a row of this has motivated me.

Great Coffee, great service and make a delicious Ham, Cheese Tomato toasty.

Notice they didn't have any Toasties left in food display and thought I would ask if they had any left being later in the day. Most staff would say no don't have any left sorry, she replied with a smile and said I can make you one. That's the sort of service I want in a business small or big.

Thanks again for a great experience.

Yes very pleasant. Lovely coffee and toasted banana bread. Didn't notice I was charged for two coffees. The Barista did and returned with cash to compensate. Honesty is it's best reward. I'll be back.

We’ve always had a wonderful experience here at Designer Trade.
Cookies are next level, chai is delicious and coffee 👌🏼

Pear Almond Tart
계란맛 듬뿍에 고소 달콤
커피도 맛있고 직원도 친절함
지나가다 우연히 본 가게인데 인테리어가 인상적임

The coffee was good but the toasted croissant flattened to thinner than a pancake
