The Dark Gallery has launched a second cafe and boutique on Orchard Road, featuring a menu that differs from its debut outpost at Millenia Walk.

In the basement of Takashimaya Shopping Centre, The Dark Gallery is set up to tempt window shoppers with its showcase of ice cream, bon bons, cakes and pastries.

Its 40-seat dine-in area has a black and gold colour scheme with marble tabletops. The store features Singapore’s first Mod-Bar pour-over and steam system, which is said to extract and render a top brew and milk foam for coffee or chocolate.

Exclusive is the Four Senses of Chocolate, concoctions of The Dark Gallery’s signature 66 per cent dark chocolate in four drink varieties (Savoury, Sangria, Sucre and Spice).

Pastries on offer include chocolate croissants, maple chocolate brioche, dark chocolate scone, ice cream cookie, chocolate soufflé, bon bons, pralines and cakes – even a Croque Monsieur.
