Meet the Faces Behind the Cup: Spotlight on Café Creators

At Tech Lounge Cafe, we believe great coffee culture is shaped by collaboration.

Behind every transformation — from innovative design to unique flavours — are creators who bring their own expertise, passion, and creativity to the table. This month, we shine the spotlight on some of the inspiring external partners who have collaborated with us to elevate the Tech Lounge Cafe experience.

In Conversation with:

Clara Montrose – Specialty Barista & Coffee Consultant
Clara has been collaborating with Tech Lounge Cafe for over two years, curating signature blends and training barista teams across multiple locations. Her philosophy is simple: every cup should tell a story.

‍

Q: What drew you to collaborate with Tech Lounge Cafe?
"I was inspired by their approach to blending technology with hospitality. They wanted more than great coffee — they wanted an experience. That’s something I’m passionate about creating."

‍

Q: How do you approach creating a new coffee blend or drink?
"It’s a mix of art and science. I start with the bean — understanding its origin and story — and then think about how it fits into the café’s atmosphere. For Tech Lounge Cafe, we developed the ‘Tech Latte,’ a seasonal signature that’s as innovative as the space itself."

‍

Q: What does being a café creator mean to you?
"It means crafting moments. Coffee is more than flavour — it’s connection. When people smile after their first sip, that’s the moment I know I’ve succeeded."

‍

Closing Reflection:

Through Clara’s artistry, Tech Lounge Cafe delivers more than coffee — it delivers a crafted experience that reflects both passion and collaboration.

"A great café is never about one person alone — it’s about everyone who helps bring it to life," says Clara.
