Cartoon Network Cafe Review: We Bare Bears, Adventure Time, Powerpuff Girls And More At Punggol

While I am no longer a hard-core Buttercup fan, hearing that Singapore’s first Cartoon Network Cafe opened just last weekend was enough to make me excited. A concept created by The Soup Spoon Union, the cafe features characters from The Powerpuff Girls, Ben 10, Adventure Time, and We Bare Bears!

Cartoon Network Cafe | We Bare Bears, Adventure Time, Powerpuff Girls And More At Punggol Food at Cartoon Network Cafe If you thought the Powerpuff Girls plushies and We Bare Bear wallpapers are all that makes up the themed cafe, wait till your food comes. At Cartoon Network Cafe, they serve simple Western dishes such as pasta, pizza, and burgers with a cute twist to the designs of the food! While we were there, the first dish that we tried was Powerpuff Potpie ($10.90++) .

Along with the soup, the dish comes with a thick and crispy layer of puff pastry that sits on top of the bowl. Compared to most soups that come with breadsticks, this was an interesting change that I thought was a better complement to the thick soup. Though the soup could do better with more flavour, fans of The Soup Spoon would find this dish familiar and to your liking.

Another appetiser that we tried was their Ben 10 Baked Fries & Meatballs ($8.90++) . Even with a knife, it was hard to cut the meatball into two and while the taste was decent, I couldn’t bring myself to go for a second helping. The noodles were also cooked to the right texture and every strand was thoroughly coated with the sauce.

Even though the elements were generous, the quality was below satisfactory as the beef patty especially, was tough and tasteless. For $18.80++, the burger was not value-for-money and the only saving grace was the hand-cut fries that were crispy and well-seasoned.

One of the milkshakes that we had was Powerpuff Vanilla Milk Shake ($14.90++) . At first sip, I was pleasantly surprised that the milkshake was not as sweet as I had forecast it to be. Even though the taste of peanut butter was not prominent, I liked that the drink was filled with banana bits which added a touch of natural sweetness to the otherwise jelak dessert.

Even though the restaurant is sandwiched between many other eateries, the statues of Ben 10 and Powerpuff Girls make this cafe hard to miss. As if the food and decorations are not enough to entertain the younger ones, there is even a colouring corner and a TV screening Cartoon Network’s points to for the kids.

From the Powerpuff Girls freakshake to We Bare Bear’s burger, the aesthetics of every dish surprised me. That said, in terms of the quality of the food, there is still much room for improvement.

I as well found the food too pricey and for that, this visit would probably remain a one-time experience for me.
