Jones the Grocer

I always thought Jones the Grocer is in Dempsey but I didn’t know they have a branch in the Mandarin Gallery. Jones the Grocer was set up in Sydney in 1996 as a premium Australian gourmet food store. It has expanded beyond the down under since. Having heard Mu Yao raving about it before, Wei Xiang and I decided to pay this place a visit for tea.

For variety, Jones the Grocer offers quite a myriad of teas. Wei Xiang had the Caramel Tea (5.50+ SGD) with a mellow and fragrant flavour and I had the Piccolo Latte (5.00+ SGD).

For sweet, we had the Jones Cheesecake (Chocolate Version) which cost about 5-6+ dollars. There is a raspberry version as well. I prefer more bite for the base. The cake was just…cake? In short, the cake was rather unimpressive.

Service was okay. The prices exclude service charge as they want to encourage you tip the staff accordingly. ANZ Platinum Cardholders get 10% rebate (30/03/11 - 31/12/11)
