Best Cafes in Singapore

March 31, 2011 | 45 Comments

Cafes in Singapore

Cafés have different interpretations in different countries. In the American context, a café or coffee house is a casual restaurant serving proper food and sandwiches. Whilst a café in other countries is simply a place that serves coffee with light snacks/desserts.

I have been cafe-hopping around to check out some of the Cafes in Singapore. It is nice to see how new places like Artichoke, Forty hands, The Plains, The Pigeonhole have injected vibrancy into the Singapore food scene.

Who can resist the lovely smell of brewing coffee, the chic display of desserts on cake stands, and the cozy ambiance of a cafe? Not me, that’s for sure.

Here is my list of the best Cafes in Singapore:

I have included the following: a) cafes that serve good coffee, b) new and upcoming cafes c) hidden indie cafes d) nice chill out cafes e) restaurants-cafes that have affordable and good food and f) cafes for people-watching. I will probably do a separate list of cafes with free wifi in Singapore, but I am pretty sure most of the places will let you tap on their network if you are dining there.


Artichoke Cafe

This new cafe has been making a name for itself amongst the food lovers. I have not been to Artichoke cafe yet, but I am very sure that I will be making a trip there very soon.

161 Middle Road
Tel: +65 6336 6949

Ardent’s Cafe Bar *NEW*

A new cafe along Neil road, Ardent’s Cafe serves comfort food like salad ($12.8), soup ($5.8), breakfast ($12.8 – $15.8), sandwiches ($12.8 – $16.8) and pancakes & waffles ($12.8)

80 Neil Road
Tel: +65 6325 7077

Skinny Pizza Singapore

Barracks Cafe House Dempsey

Barracks Cafe is one of my favourite restaurants in Dempsey. They have a variety of food selections on the menu, and I love the desserts there! Do drop by for a visit if you have not been there before.

8D Dempsey Road
#01-01 to 06 Tanglin Village
Tel: +65 6475 7787

Broadway Cafe *NEW*

15 Duxton Road
Tel: +65 6224 6131

Broun Cafe

Located near Clark Quay Mrt, Broun Cafe is a new cafe which has a corner dedicated to local arts. This place is definitely on my to-go-list next.

36 North Canal Road
Tel: +65 6535 0430

Hacienda Cafe

Cafe Hacienda

Most of the dempsey restaurants can be quite pricey, Cafe Hacienda by the Prive group is probably one of the more affordable options there. They have recently launched a new Weekday set lunch: $22++ for 3 course, and $20++ for 2 course.

13A Dempsey Road
Tel: +65 6476 2922

Hairloom & Caramel

Caramel Cafe

Caramel Cafe is a cutesy cafe – a great place for all occasions; girlfriends outing, a cute date, birthday parties, or just simply hanging out with a bunch of friends. I love this whimsical cafe!

100 Beach Road #01-50/52
Shaw Towers Singapore
Tel: +65 6295 2188

Drips Bakery Cafe * NEW *

Drips Bakery Cafe is located on 82 Tiong Poh Road and it serves gourmet coffee on the menu along with hot foods, cakes and buns.

Block 82 Tiong Poh Road #01-05
Tel: +65 62220400

Epicurious Burger

Epicurious Cafe

One of my all time favourite cafes, Epicurious Cafe serves good and affordable breakfast food. If you are going to the Robertson Quay branch, make sure you are there before 12noon otherwise there will probably be a long queue for tables.

392 Upper Bukit Timah Road
The Rail Mall
Tel: +65 6894 5926

60 Robertson Quay
#01-02 The Quayside
Tel: +65 6734 7720

Fine Palate Cafe

Another new cafe in Singapore, Fine palate Cafe is located at Waterloo Street. Has anyone been there yet?

51 Waterloo Street
#01-04/05 Singapore
Tel: +65 6336 5120

Food For Thought Cafe

Between Food For Thought’s two branches, I’d recommend you to go to the 8Q SAM outlet at Queen Street. Simple comfort food, love it!

420 North Bridge Road #01-06
North Bridge Centre Singapore
Tel: +65 6338 8724

8 Queen Street Singapore
Tel: +65 6338 9887

Forty Hands Cafe

Forty Hands

Unless I am mistaken, The Spa Esprit Group (the folks behind House @ Dempsey) has ownership in Forty Hands – a pretty new cafe in Singapore.

I know it may sound strange for a cafe to be located amongst the Tiong Bahru shop houses, but that is exactly where Forty Hands is at. I just went there last weekend, and they were full during brunch. The coffee was good, but I felt that the food was not exactly fantastic.

Blk 78 Yong Siak Street
#01-12 Singapore
Tel: +65 6225 8545

Hatched Cafe

Hatched

I love the concept of an all day breakfast place. What can be better than having pancakes and eggs during dinner at Hatched?

26 Evans Road
#01-06 Evans Lodge
Tel: +65 6735 0012

Group Therapy Cafe

Group Therapy Cafe * NEW *

One of the latest cafes to open in the trendy Duxton road, Group Therapy Cafe is a space that is tucked away on the 2nd storey of a reconstructed shophouse above Etna Italian restaurant. I fell in love as I stepped inside the cafe. The best thing is, it is not as crowded as not many people know about them yet. Definitely one of my new favourite cafes in Singapore.

49 Duxton Road Singapore
Tel +65 6222 2554

Jones the Grocer

Since Jones the Grocer has two branches in Singapore, it depends on what you are looking for. If you want a nice place to chill out while waiting for a friend, drop by Jones the Grocer at Mandarin Gallery. It is a lovely cafe to have a cup of coffee and desserts for afternoon tea.

Otherwise, their outlet at Dempsey road is very popular for their breakfast menu which is available from 8.30am – 12noon on weekdays, and 8.30am – 3pm on weekends.

333A Orchard Road #04-21/23
Mandarin Gallery Singapore
Tel: +65 6836 6372

Best Coffee Singapore

Kith Cafe

At the far end of Robertson Quay, there is a nice little cafe which is very simple and homely. Trust me, you will definitely want to drop by Kith Cafe and have a cup of coffee.

7 Rodyk Street #01-33
Watermark @ Robertson Quay
Tel: +65 6341 9407

Kki Dessert Cafe

I know Kki is probably more like a patisserie than a cafe but hey, it serves cakes and coffee. A good option if you are looking for a dessert place to catch up with your friend.

7 Ann Siang Hill
Tel: +65 6225 6650

L’etoile Cafe
160 Owen Road
Tel: +65 6298 2872

Little Part 1 Cafe

Little Part 1 Cafe is an indie cafe located at Jasmine road near Thomson Plaza.

It is one of the best hidden cafes in Singapore. For folks living in the Thomson/Bishan/Ang Mo Kio area, now you know where to go for dinner.

15 Jasmine Road
Adelphi Park Estate Singapore
Tel: +65 6451 7553

Loysel's Toy Cafe

Loysel’s Toy Cafe

Papa Palheta has been making waves in the Singapore Food Scene with its premium gourmet coffee. They have recently opened Loysel’s Toy Cafe at Kampong Bugis (Raw Kitchen Bar has shifted there as well), which is located ten minutes away from Lavender Mrt Station.

Barista Ryan Tan from Papa Palheta has just won the 2011 Singapore National Barista Championship. This gives them the official bragging rights for the best coffee in Singapore.

66 Kampong Bugis
Tel: +65 9451 0236

Maison Ikkoku
20 Kandahar Street
Heritage Centre
Tel: +65 6294 0078

Marmalade Toast

Marmalade Toast

There are some places like Prive Bakery Cafe and PS Cafe that I love for their ambience; other places like Oriole cafe and Epicurious for the affordability; and Artichoke, Spruce and Barracks for the food. But when it comes to a cafe that I go all the time, Marmalade Toast is definitely the place.

Marmalade Toast Cafe is a hidden gem in Orchard Road. It has been around for very long, but even up till now, I’m surprised that not many people know about them. Located at a corner of Ngee Ann City, the cafe is a simplified version of Marmalade Pantry restaurant. They have a pretty straightforward menu of salads, wraps, sandwiches and desserts – everything priced reasonably under $10.

#02-11 Ngee Ann City
391 Orchard Road
Tel: +65 6733 8489

Novus Cafe

The plus point for Novus Cafe is definitely its location in the National Museum of Singapore. The cafe is a very nice place to chill out and have a light snack if you are in the Orchard area.

93 Stamford road #01-04/05
National museum of Singapore
Tel: +65 6337 1397

Oriole Cafe Singapore

Oriole Cafe & Bar

With the owner and the head barista getting the top two positions in the National Barista Competition last year, it is not surprising that Oriole Cafe at Pan Pacific Suites is one of the cafes with the best coffee in Singapore.

And of course, it helps that Oriole Cafe is conveniently located in Orchard road. The al fresco area of Oriole cafe is excellent for people watching.

96 Somerset road
#01-01 Pan Pacific Serviced Suites
(Opposite Brotzeit 313 @ Somerset)
Tel: +65 6238 8348

Pique Nique Takashimaya

Pique Nique

Besides Marmalade Toast at Takashimaya, another place that I like to go whenever I am in town is Pique Nique American Cafe by Chef Pang Kok Keong.

It is located at the basement of Takashimaya where McDonald’s used to be. It serves favourite American comfort food like mac & cheese ($12-16), hot dogs ($8.5-11), burgers ($10-13), all day breakfast ($7.5-13.5), whoopie pies ($2) and desserts ($4-8).

#B1-01 Takashimaya Shopping Centre
Ngee Ann City Tower A
391A Orchard Road
Tel: +65 6238 6705

Prive Bakery Cafe

Prive Bakery Cafe at Keppel Bay is one of my favourite place for brunch. There’s nothing fantastic about the food, just simple, well-executed comfort food served at reasonable prices.

They are opened till midnight, so if you are looking for a place to have coffee and desserts till late, remember to check out Prive Bakery Cafe.

2 Keppel Bay Vista
GF Marina @ Keppel Bay
Tel: 6776 0777

PS Cafe

PS Cafe

Well known for its chic and elegant ambiance – PS Cafe is the place to be seen. Other than the two lovely branches at Dempsey and Palais Renaissance, they have recently opened a new cafe at Ann Siang Hill.

PS Cafe may not have the best food, but honestly, are you really expecting that? People go there for the ambiance. No doubt, fans of PS Cafe will definitely agree that they are the best cafe in Singapore.

28B Harding Road
Tanglin Village (Dempsey Road) Singapore
Tel: +65 6479 3343

45 Ann Siang Road
#02-02 Singapore
Tel: +65 6222 3143

Raindrop Cafe

Raindrops Cafe

Hidden at the back of the new *Scape Mall beside Cineleisure Orchard, is a small cutesy place called Raindrops Cafe. I like the place because it is small and cozy, plus they serve simple comfort food at affordable prices. Raindrops Cafe is a nice cafe for dinner in Orchard.

2 Orchard Link #02-38
*Scape Singapore
Tel: +65 6834 4977

ReStore Cafe

It is hard to find a common link between Vintage furniture, drinks and desserts. To answer this question, go to ReStore Cafe at Tanjong Pagar. It is a new vintage furniture cafe which serves simple food and drinks, and of course they sell vintage furnitures too.

124 Tanjong Pagar Road Singapore
Tel: +65 6222 3510

Riders Cafe

Riders Cafe

“Where is the best brunch cafe in Singapore?”

If location is not an issue, Riders is definitely one of the best cafes in Singapore to enjoy a lazy breakfast. Remember to make your reservations in advance, they are always fully booked during weekends.

51 Fairways Drive
Bukit Timah Saddle Club
Tel: 6466 9819

Smitten Cafe

Coffee lovers should absolutely check out Smitten Coffee & Tea Bar, one of the newer cafes in Singapore. Who can resist the lovely smell of brewing coffee?

60 Robertson Quay
#01-11 The Quayside
Tel: +65 9876 2347

Society Cafe & Bar

The restaurants at One Fullerton can be quite pricey, so if you are looking for a more affordable place for dinner, look no further than Society Cafe & Bar.

1 Fullerton Road
#01-11 One Fullerton
Tel: +65 6423 9689

Spruce

If you ask me, Spruce is one of the best cafes in Singapore. Cliche as it may sound, the best cafe is the cafe that I like. And yes, I like spruce. They are very popular for their weekend brunch, and they have recently launched a new weekend high tea menu as well.

The location is just a 3 minutes drive from Orchard, and the place is not as commercialised as the Dempsey restaurants.

320 Tanglin Road
Phoenix Park Singapore
Tel: +65 6836 5528

Strictly Pancakes Singapore

Strictly Pancakes

Strictly Pancakes can be quite crowded during lunch/dinner. I love to have pancakes during the middle of the day, naturally Strictly Pancakes makes an ideal place for me to have a quiet afternoon tea.

Don’t you love the idea of all day pancakes?

44A Prinsep Street Singapore
Tel: +65 6333 4202

Sugarica Sweet & Savoury

Another new cafe at Robertson Quay, Sugarica Sweet & Savoury is one of the few places in Singapore where you can get both savoury and sweet crepes.

7 Rodyk Street
#01-32 Watermark Robertson Quay
Tel: +65 91054407

The Coffee Daily
75 Brighton Crescent
Tel: +65 6284 8894

Mushroom risotto

The Garden Slug

For those who are staying in the East of Singapore, I’d definitely recommend The Garden Slug. It is unpretentious, and they serve comfort food at reasonable prices.

55 Lorong L Telok Kurau
#01-59/61 Bright Centre
Tel: +65 6346 0504

The Pigeonhole

I have not been to The Pigeonhole yet, but from what I have heard, it seems like a pretty cool place to hang out.

52 Duxton Road
Tel: +65 81231607

The Plains Singapore

The Plains Cafe

The owner describes The Plains Cafe as a Melbourne Cafe in Singapore. I had brunch there last weekend, and I have to admit that the food was slightly better than Forty Hands. Oh, they have excellent coffee of course.

50 Craig Road
#01-01 Singapore
Tel: +65 6225 4387

The Orange Thimble

The once-sleepy Tiong Bahru estate seems to be coming alive this year as more and more cafes deciding to open there. Besides Forty Hands and Drips Bakery Cafe, there is also The Orange Thimble, where art meets cafe.

56 Eng Hoon Street #01-68
Tel: +65 6223 8068

Wild Honey Breakfast

Wild Honey

Is Wild Honey a cafe or restaurant? I don’t think it matters. Wild Honey is a very nice place to enjoy your all day breakfast, and the location in Mandarin Gallery makes it an ideal location for friends to meet.

333A Orchard Road #03-02
Mandarin Gallery Singapore
Tel: +65 6235 3900

15 Minutes

“If my school has such a cool cafe, I will go to school every day.”

15 Minutes Cafe is situated in Lasalle College Of The Arts with a quirky old school canteen concept. The Lasalle students are so lucky, yes?

1 McNally Street Blk D #01-01
LASALLE College of The Arts Singapore
Tel: +65 6333 5915

    This is such a wonderful list. I was staying in Melbourne for the past 8 months, and they have a great cafe & coffee culture there. I miss having a nice cup of soy latte in the morning. Hopefully I can find a place that serves a mean cup of soy latte with the help of this list:) Spuce Cafe certainly looks like a lovely place to have brunch during the weekend. Thanks Brad!

    Hey!
    Love your site. The photography is amazing!
    I LOVE CAFES!
    Also, you missed out Hyde Park Cafe. Great Great Peranakan Cuisine. So delicious and situated in the Arts Area (Opposite Singapore Photographic Society). It will be a challenge to photograph the food though :D

    Check out the Highlander Coffee.
    It’s has one of the best tasting latte (with latte art) in my opinion.

    Caffe Berviamo also serves great latte.

    Went to Wild Honey today. The interior was lovely and staff pretty friendly but the coffee was very bitter and milk done poorly. I didn’t order any food but the portions looked generous.

  17. James
    June 26th, 2011 @ 12:06 pm

    Great info… We’re always trying to find new hangout spots. So we’ve now tried Caramel Café and The Plain. after reading this list, but previously been to The Pigeonhole and Fifteen Minutes. I guess I’m after good coffee and a light bite for under $10, plus comfy seats, good music and a nice atmosphere/environment. And we’re Central Sg w/o a car and it doesn’t feel the same getting a taxi to a café… so knowing those that we can walk to or MRT is great!

    Thanks!

    The coffee at The Pigeon Hole was disappointing. I ordered the Brown Latte while my friend had a Flat White. Definitely can be improved upon.

    July 14th, 2011 @ 8:08 pm

    Checked out a new coffee place ‘Jewel Coffee’ at One Shenton Way (opposite SGX). The coffee gives a ‘complete’ feel. The sandwiches are great too!

    July 18th, 2011 @ 6:40 pm

    So many places to check out :D

    I also like:
    - curious teepee (chill out vibe)
    - room with a view (carrot cake and coffee)
    - chef icon (flat white and bread)….

    So many places to little time!

    I was at Spruce a month ago for brunch on a Sunday morning. I had made table reservations but had to wait close to 20 minutes before being seated. The place was absolutely crowded and there was a number of walk-ins without reservation waiting at the entrance. I felt the entire ambience of Spruce was spoilt because of the crowd and noise leve. Furthermore they seemed to be short of staff. It took several attempts before I could get one of the staff’s attention to take my orders. We had to ask for water, cutlery and finally the bill. They initially gave me the wrong bill but finally came up with the actual one after another 15 minutes. And guess what, another copy of the bill arrived 10 minutes later after I had signed the first one. All in all, service was bad and food equally on the same level as well. (prefer Riders Cafe so much more). Definitely my first and last time going to Spruce.

    hi, i really enjoy reading your food blog…its like watching those nigella’s & oliver’s food show without the chefs:p

    however, i do have quite a number of muslim friends & its very hard to find a nice cozy chill out place for them to dine during our meetups. As most of the places are either selling alchohols or having non-halal food:/

    it would be great if you could have a post of cool chillout for maybe halal eaters? it would definite benefit not only me but quite a few of us out there.

    btw loveeee your blog<3

    Anyone remember the name of the cafe next to nafa or lasalle where arty-farty types used to hang out?

    Or was it next to the former national library or behind the museum? I cannot remember… but it was there that when they distributed I.S. magazines that people were complaining of the presence of free prints with lots of commercials.
