" The place closes at 6. I arrived at 5:03 and they said they can’t serve anymore. Not even coffee. Wow. Stupidest thing I have ever heard of. They will stay open another 57 minutes paying staff and running the aircon and a customer who wants a coffee and wants to give them money is not welcome. Is this communist Russia? "

" Went during lunch time on a weekend. Place was not too crowded and it was cozy. Food portion was small and a bit pricey but decent at the minimum. Coffee is good "

" Nice coffee, great service by the staff there, very welcoming environment. The menu have limited option for lunch so the staff recommend I have their daily special mee HOON by mum. Really have homely feeling. Didn't expect they have such food! The only issue here is parking. "

" Having travelled frequently between 3 continents and been to over a few hundred coffee shops, partner and I both had each ordered our own coffee here and agreed: Hands down the worst coffee we've ever tasted. Wait time was over 50 minutes. Service was average. Nice setting, too bad a bit cramped. Came because of the high praises, but after trying ourselves, browsing through other reviews gave a hint that those who left raving reviews were probably friends and bloggers with benefits. "

" The Fettuccine al Ragu ($14.90) & Pappardelle al Verde con Funghi ($14.90) I had for lunch was ON POINT as well, so much that I felt like eating either again for dinner. 👌 At first glance, you might think there is too much cheese just by looking at it - but after you mix everything up, it melts & binds everything together.. So no, there isn't too much cheese 😉
The Ragu is more generous with ingredients (minced pork & beef), but I prefer the Pappardelle for its flavours. I am a sucker for runny eggs & mushrooms. Very happy with both pastas being executed perfectly al dente & so flavourful.
Cuppa-Caffeine of choice: White Coffee (4/6/8oz - $5.50) - opted for the largest size & a Pourover ($7.00) with Kenyan beans. Both were excellent & delicious.
Dessert was scrumptious too: Apple Tart Tatin ($10.00), which has a preparation time of 30 minutes; so it's best to order it at the start of your meal 'cos it's gonna take a while. Does not look like much, but is a pleasant dessert. The pastry added a nice chewy texture to the soft apple in the center-- which, btw, the apple is PIPING HOT so watch out when you tuck in! Surprisingly, it is NOT as sweet as I feared it would be. Delightful!
There aren't a lot of seats here; thankful to have arrived early because at the end of our meal, it was so packed that people had to share tables. Necessary Provisions does take reservations on Chope, but there is a minimum spend of $15 per person when you do that, so do bear that in mind.

" The coffee is very nice, and the juice is quite refreshing. The home made cake is nice as well. The bad side is that they seated us on a large table shared with others. I would prefer such a cafe to be a cozy place for a date rather a dinner place for big groups. "

" Hip, chill and quiet. The food is wonderful but the prices are a bit on the high side I think. I still find myself going back though. Friendly staff with great customer service. Do check their FB page, they seem to open and close on a whim, very frustrating when you try to pop in for a morning coffee. "
