Principle Reserve by T.A.M Taman Melodies

Principle Reserve by T.A.M is a sleek, modern cafe dropping anchor in Taman Melodies. The aesthetic is definitively westernized, clean, and gorgeous. It draws a steady crowd for birthday celebrations and weekend brunches. Operating from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM Monday through Thursday, and opening an hour earlier at 8:00 AM Friday through Sunday, it fits both early coffee runs and dinner dates. Service is a major draw, with staff consistently praised for being approachable and actively guiding diners through the menu.

The undisputed heavyweight champion here is the pizza. Baked in an open-fire oven, the sourdough pizza base delivers a wonderfully chewy texture that distinctly separates it from standard cafe pies. Whether you opt for the classic Neapolitan pizza or the rich 5 cheese pizza, the sourdough crust is the main event. Consider it a mandatory order.

Beyond the pizzas, the smoked duck pappardelle pasta gets high marks, though some diners note the duck could be cut into larger chunks. Pair your carbs with their coffee program. The Creme Brulee Caramel Latte is a heavily corroborated crowd favorite. Expect to pay a slight premium. Diners note the pricing leans high for the area, but the polished execution, premium ingredients, and standout service easily justify the bill.
