After several recommendations and positive reviews from our Zomato community, we finally made our way to Whisk. The simple but elegantly decorated café specializes in fine pastries and sweets. We were there weekday afternoon and found majority of cakes and croissants were sold out. With the limited selections we chose: almond croissant, passionfruit almond tart, mango coconut cake to share and caffeinated drinks.
The cappuccino and latte was well presented with beautifully poured latte art. Cleanskin coffee beans were utilized with a smooth mouthfeel combining hazelnut and chocolate after taste. Being a coffee junkie myself, I find the blend to be on the mild to weak side. 3.5/5
The almond...
I really am not a sweet tooth (in denial ? I don't know) but I've never been one to finish anything that was sweet or pastry.... until a friend told me about this place.
I honestly went there the next day at 11:00am all the pastries was sold out!!! The pastries are made on the day. We were only able to get the mini tarts. This pastry chef is really someone with an amazing palate and also has a high attention to detail. I almost can't put it into words, the flavours are well balanced like ... PERFECT! All the flavours complimented each other so perfectly, the base held its structure yet crumble delicately In your mouth and there's nothing I can fault about it.
Okay it doesn't end there,...
Driving along Logan Road in heavy traffic towards Holland Park, I just passed the Chinese Garden when I thought of The Whisk. Hmm... coffee and cake? Changing lanes I do a u-turn and make a bee-line for The Whisk.
When I arrive I see four couples enjoying their treats. The smiling cashier-waitress-barista takes my cafe latte order and waits patiently as I decide between a Danish pastry and a Passionfruit Almond tart. She giggles as I painfully struggle to make a decision. With a sigh I choose the Tart!
Minutes later the smiling lady delivers my order. Everything looks perfect and I sip my coffee. It is hot but I like it a tad hotter. And I should have asked for a second shot as the coffe...

Noticed this cafe in passing and decided to drop by as hadn't had breakfast. Ordered a chai latte and the peanut butter croissant to take away. Although i ordered a regular size (only have reg and lrg) I found the cup to be small - having said that it was $4 so was fine with it. Croissant was nice. It's a small but cute little shop that has also had awards in the past. The pastries looked amazing. Would pop by again if I'm in the area.
For my friends birthday I was overseas and was able to order a box of beautiful macarons to her home delivered at very short notice. My friend was so pleased and described the macarons absolutely perfect and delicious. The Patisserie went completely out of his way to make it all happen. I was very impressed with his service. I would highly recommend The Whisk!

Best hot chocolate! The croissants are soft and delicious! Only downfall is the food runs out very quickly, so you need to get there when it opens.
Can eat in but we just did takeaway. A remarkable little place. Amazing macrons and pastries. Good coffee. Just fantastic.
