Our take: Nickel, having relocated from Jurong to Middle Road, maintains a reputation for high-quality desserts and a unique ambiance.
We note the 'Otto' pistachio cake as a standout, praised for its fragrant flavour and light texture, though it may not always be available.
Other desserts like the 'Kuri' chestnut cake have received mixed reviews, with some finding it overly sweet.
Coffees, particularly the hot white and flat whites, are consistently well-regarded, with two coffees costing around $12.50.
The cafe's aesthetic leans towards a bar-like vibe, offering a different experience from typical coffee shops.
Seating can be a mix of tables and counter seats, which some find less conducive to long chats.
There's also a reported 48-minute dining limit during peak hours, which can be restrictive.
We think it's a good spot for a quick, quality dessert and coffee, especially if you appreciate a unique atmosphere.
Best for a focused treat rather than an extended catch-up session.

What customers say
Nickel is a well-regarded cafe, particularly praised for its high-quality desserts like the Otto pistachio cake and its excellent flat whites and chai lattes.
While some desserts like the Kuri can be too sweet or have texture issues, and the Kouign Amann is not traditional, the overall dessert quality remains high.
The cafe offers a chill, relaxed atmosphere with friendly, low-key service, though seating can be crowded during peak hours with dining time limits.

Very chill cafe with friendly staff and a quiet, relaxed atmosphere. Shared tables but still comfortable and peaceful. Nice desserts and a great place to unwind.
Lovely smaller cafe in a lane off Middle Road. The sign isn’t highly visible, but the cafe is worth searching for. Fantastic flat whites in a very chill environment. Great low-key service. Cakes and…
