This cafe has the most confusing name. On the signboard it says Coffeeology, but on its logo and Facebook page, it is Cofeology. Hence the title of our post and the sticky photo aren't consistent. We make no attempt to ask about the name, and so be it - whether it is Coffeeology or Cofeology, it sound the same. 

In Bukit Beruang, there is a handful of cool and hip cafes popping up in recent years due to the young and vibrant community here (thanks to MMU students). Coffeeology is one of the famous cafe to check out. The cafe takes up two lots which give a spacious dining area. The extensive menu covers full meal as well with options of local dish, Western and fusion cooking. We can see why MMU students love to sit in this cafe to do their school revision. It's spacious and it has lots of food and infinite coffee.

We didn't sample any of the hot food, but we do manage to grab a beautiful plate of berry waffle served with cream. The combination of blue berry, strawberry, maple syrup and fluffy cream sends you right to heaven. However, the texture of the waffle can be improved. A little crunchier it can be will definitely make it the best waffle in town. 

The drinks were a little bit disappointing. We ordered chai latte. However, it wasn't "chai" enough. It tasted very bland and the portion of the milk is too overpowering the coffee.

For something different, we opt for citrus coffee. It sounded refreshing and energizing, but the result was far off than that. It came in a pretty presentation of funnel glass, soaked in a bucket of ice. After awhile, a layer of clumped grease was formed on top of the coffee. We believe the grease is from the margarine or butter from the roasting of the coffee. Underneath the coffee there is also a layer of undiluted sugar. Who in the right mind would add sugar into a glass of cold water? Sugar should be added when the coffee is still hot. Otherwise, they could have substitute the sugar with syrup. The coffee has a bitter taste (from the coffee), sour taste (from the lemon) and extremely sweet taste (from the undiluted sugar), but all of the tastes don't blend together. The floating clump of grease made it so disgusting to drink so we left it as it is. Comment has been made to the waiter. I hope they will improve. 

Although the experience was put off by the citrus coffee, the waffle was good and the environment of the cafe is cozy as well. It is one of those Instagramable cafe for those of you looking for good place to photograph.
