If you've heard or visited the reputable cafe named The Mechanic in Cheras C180, then you are definitely in the loop of their new expansion. This Core by The Mechanic is a new cafe expansion by the parent cafe, serving more or less similar products, in lite version - due to the size of the shop is small.

Visited the Core during their soft launch at 2 PM, quite upset that the hot food were completely sold out. What's left is the pastries and beverages. Most patrons at that point of time were just enjoying pastries or chilling with drinks. Interior of the cafe won many heart, hence, this place considered as a place to chill, for now.

Tried one of the pastry, Natsui, very interesting components that they got there. Sesame mousse accompanied with salted caramel spread and bits, topped with cream and dark chocolate piece. One of the best taste and flavour dessert at the moment. Everything just mingle well together.

Coffee wise, quite standard, bold and balance. A cup of coffee that can easily enjoy by everyone.

To get here, be early as you can, preferably in the morning so that parking is not an issue. Don't miss out the patisserie. For food review, can't comment at the moment.
