Around two months ago I went to Central Park to had lunch with Anak Jajan after had lunch in Hachi Hachi we stepped our foot to newest coffee shop (in that time Liberica was the newest coffee shop) in Central Park. I knew Liberica since they opened their first store in Pacific Place, but as my first impression of Liberica it was a boring coffee shop. I have been curious what Liberica has to offer customer in their concept. They have good looking interior, it pushed me to seek out what they have. Check this out.

So couple weeks ago before we ate there, we had to turn around far from Bundaran HI because the police closed the street. We passed by Landmark Building and we wish visit them next time.

It is hard to bite and it is tasteless. But after I step my foot to their small outlet in SCBD with my friend Vina, that doubt goes away. This Bagel types is 180 degrees different with Kem Chick's types. They have soft, chewy and tasty bagel. They served Bagel in fun way, they are not only offer plain Bagel with many choices but also Bagel with topping.
