Eye Candy 2D Café

The big draw of Eye Candy 2D Café is its eccentric design. Many of you might recognise this café from similarly-themed cafés in Tokyo and Seoul. The café tries to fool your eyes into thinking that it is a 2B pencil drawing. Black stripes and sketch lines on white surfaces are seen on everything: the floors, the tables and the chairs, to create a 2D effect.

While the café does focus on cutesy, eye-catching appearances when it comes to its sweets and drinks, they do taste quite pleasant, although a tad too sweet. There’s the signature Eye candy white-choc (multiple pastel-coloured white chocolate shakes layered in a glass and topped with rainbow marshmallows and whipped cream, B155), as well as the Pastel milk (multi-coloured milk, topped with whipped cream, rainbow sprinkles and marshmallows, B105).

The bakery offers a range of sweet concoctions, including fruit tarts, pies and mousse cake, and these are presented to you like painstakingly sculpted artwork. Many of them, like the Mermaid mousse cake (B185) decorated with a carefully-crafted white chocolate tail, the Cactus cake (B175) served in an actual plant pot and the Cheesecake mouse (B175) that looks like a real wedge of cheese, are almost too cute to eat.

Those who are not keen on cloyingly sweet treats, know that the café does have a variety of coffee drinks on offer. They are made with a combination of organic Arabica and Robusta beans. Prices start at B85.
