Tucked away in a small corner of Crawford Lane – just next to Tolido’s Espresso Nook – And All Things Delicious stands out with their attractive storefront. Once you step in, you will feel a sense of warmth and comfort, both from the enchanting smell of freshly-baked pastries to the overall cosy vibe of this halal-certified cafe.

Displayed beautifully in the shop is an impressive array of desserts ranging from pastries, scones to cakes. They also have a savoury menu, where you can pick from a selection from quiches and more.

Because they specialise in mainly cakes and pastries, we suggest digging straight into their dessert selection because it can do no wrong.

The Sticky Toffee Pudding (S$5.90) was so well-made, we finished it in a few bites. While we were slightly apprehensive about the generous drizzle of toffee sauce, we came to realize that the sauce was actually just right and the sweetness did not overwhelm us. The sponge cake underneath was nice and fragrant with evenly grounded pieces of dates.

What we loved most about And All Things Delicious is how unpretentious it is; just simple and wholesome pastries and cakes that people of all ages would love. For afternoons, you can hop on down and grab some Scones (S$5 for 2) with a cup of Iced Latte (S$5.50) and unwind with a book.

About the writer:
Cheryl is a staff writer for ladyironchef. She loves a good steak and an even better cuppa. She eats just about anything and everything. In her free time, she regularly starts on sci-fi or fantasy movie marathons.

Sitting in the heart of Crawford, just 5 minutes away from Bugis and Haji Lane, Tolido’s Espresso Nook has its series of specialty brews that come with photo-worthy latte art.

But there is definitely more than coffee here here. Small as it may be, it is actually pretty cosy with the bustling activities taking place indoors. Less indie, but no less happening. It is a familiar haunt for regulars and friends, and the warmth of the crowd really grew on us. It felt like crashing a party, but less intimidating and still reserving your own space.

If you are in the neighbourhood and like us, you do not fancy the crowd, escape to Tolido’s Espresso Nook for a cuppa and some casual but gratifying food. Here are some of our favourite items on the menu:

Rosti. Rosti anytime. Tolido’s do a really mean rendition and we fell head over heels in love with the texture – crispy on the surface (but of course), and soft and warm when you sink your teeth in. Served with an egg, the Rosti comes in various combinations – with cheesy sausage (S$14.90), smoked Bratswurst (S$16.90) and smoked salmon (S$20.90).

We also had the Turkey Ham Mushroom Cream (S$9.50) which is a hearty serving of penne pasta covered with cream and generous chunks of mushrooms and turkey ham. We heard the Bacon Arrabiata (S$10.50) is fairly decent too!

There is also an all-day breakfast menu with your regular favourites like pancakes and eggs. Every item comes with a price tag that does not scare, but you might have a tough time picking just one. There are Tolido Pancakes (S$10.50), Croissant with Scrambled Eggs (S$9.50) and French Toast (S$8.90); and more.
