Hummingbirds Coffee Bar @ Bangsar

One of life's greatest pleasures is to enjoy great tea with friends in a relaxed setting. Located in Beatrice Looi Boutique at Telawi Street, Hummingbirds Coffee Bar is perpetually stocked with a variety of cakes, macaroons and cookies - ready to set your weekend right. 
Hummingbirds' opulent ambiance was perfect for sweet indulgence and girls gossiping.
Gossip girls never leave their wardrobe behind. 
Green Tea Apple and Pear (RM6) 
The Women's Day Tea Set Promotion (limited edition RM13.80) came with a cup of tea, set of 4 mini cupcake and cakes. From left to right: tofu custard drizzled with kiwi sauce, chocolate brownie, blueberry tart and red velvet cupcake. 
English Breakfast Tea

Signature Hummingbird Cake - The cake's texture was dense and moist, topped with the popular cream cheese icing. The combination of bananas, pineapples, pecans, cinnamon and cream cheese was sinfully delicious. 
Red Velvet Cake - As elegant as always...The rich tangy buttery taste paired well with the mild chocolaty flavor. 
Macaroons (RM5 each) - These pastel shades macaroons were filled with buttercream, sandwiched between almond wafers.  3 out of the 4 macaroons was a tad too hard. These delicate cookies are best eaten fresh.

Verdict : SOMEWHAT SMITTEN

  1. Glorious cakes!!! Their signature cake looks divine! It's pity that macarons in Malaysia are almost never fresh when we buy them! Just like how Nyonya kuehs are never fresh in Melbourne ;P

    1. If you do go there, I suggest that you order the cakes rather than the tea set. =p

  3. Oooh, the Women's Day tea promo looks like a tasty bargain. But for the sake of gender equality, I'd like to demand a Men's Day tea promo too! :D
