Orchard cafes
1. Rise Bakehouse
Rise Bakehouse has three outlets: their quaint OG space in Potong Pasir, their much more spacious flagship store at 111 Somerset, and their newly opened outlet in Chinatown. Although they’re best known for their dessert selection, which includes pretty teacakes and gelato waffles, they introduced an array of savoury options at their second outlet.

Go for the Rise Breakfast Waffles ($22.90++), which has the classic breakfast staples: eggs, chicken bratwurst, sautéed mushrooms, seasonal fruits, house salad, and a choice of sourdough or waffles. Else, the Tiger Prawns Aglio Olio ($20.90++) is a great alternative, starring al dente pasta tossed in chilli, garlic, olive oil, and pesto, and topped with plump pan-seared prawns.
If you’re just here for a good teatime snack, opt for their rotational range of delicate iced teacakes. Some popular variations include the Honey Vanilla Chamomile Teacake ($8.20++) or the pretty Daisy Lemon Meringue Tart ($8.50++). Pair these with artisanal concoctions such as the Grape Yakult Honey Sencha ($8++) or the Salted Maple Pecan Cream Latte ($8.50++) if you prefer coffee-based drinks!

3. FYP Cafe
Take a respite from the bustle of Orchard Road at FYP Cafe, a glamping-themed cafe in Orchard Central run by the folks behind Whiskdom and Big Big Fries. Tucked away on the fourth floor of the mall, the spacious cafe lets you lounge at its low camping tables and chairs as you dig into your brunch and coffee.
On the food front, they have pasta, bagels, and rice bowls of all kinds. For bowls, choose from the likes of Mentaiko Beef ($21++), Truffle Beef ($21++), or Teriyaki Salmon ($19++). Or if you prefer noodles, go for the Creamy Smoked Salmon ($20++) or Seafood Tom Yum Goong ($22++) pasta. The latter features al dente linguine doused in a creamy-tangy tom yum sauce with fresh, bouncy prawns and a poached egg.

4. French Fold
French Fold at Palais Renaissance is a French cafe that pays tribute to Brittany’s crepes and galettes. The menu here largely focuses on serving up variations of the two, with a variety of different flavours.
Dig into their No. 4 ($19++), a buckwheat galette folded over sauteed mushrooms, ham, Comte, and a sunny-side up. End the meal on a sweet note with their classic No. 20 ($9++), starring a thin crepe dressed with French butter, sugar, and lemon zest. Aside from these, French Fold also has more substantial burgers and salads. Enjoy these amidst a rustic-chic cafe setting that’s great for midday catch-ups.

5. Equate Coffee
The famed Equate Coffee always surfaces on lists of the best cafes in Singapore and for good reason—they’ve got excellent coffee and the vibes to match it. The brand has an outlet at Orchard Central, offering all-day brunch mains, pastries, specialty coffee, and tea.
Come for a cuppa joe and one of their signature sandos, made with bread baked fresh in-house daily. On a hot day, we recommend their Iced Matcha Latte ($7.50++) or Iced Chocolate ($7++). Alternatively, have a try at their Kouign Amann ($7.80++) or Classic Croissant ($4++) if you’re visiting for a light bite.
The space is also designed to look like a futuristic urban garden, offering photo ops for days.

6. Dough
Dough, a Korean-style bakery-cafe in CHJIMES, was founded by the folks behind Glyph Supply Co and Runes, two other popular local cafes. The space here is sprawling, with multiple indoor seating areas, as well as a lush al fresco space. Whether you’re here to work, relax, or have brunch with friends, there’s a space and a vibe to suit your fancy.
All the breads, pastries, and pastas on the menu here are made fresh and in-house. We especially loved the Adzuki Mochi Danish (price TBD), which offers a variety of textures, and their Pistachio Raspberry (price TBD) croissant cube, filled with pistachio cream.

7. Coffeehouse by Kobashi
If you’re looking for a cafe to unwind on the weekend, then Coffeehouse by Kobashi is the place to go. Located along South Beach Road, the cafe offers sourdough doughnuts, sandwiches, pasta, and coffee. The intimate space only has 20 dine-in seats, so we recommend coming earlier to avoid the crowd.
Those swinging by for a light bite ought to try their range of doughnuts. They come in flavours including Crunchy Pistachio Kunafeh ($7++), Yuzu Lychee Fiesta ($6.70++), and for the coffee lovers, Tiramisu ($6++). For mains, go for the Chilled Truffle Capellini ($28++) that stars cold angel hair pasta tossed in fragrant truffle oil or the Chonky Chix ($23++), comprising deep-fried buttermilk chicken thigh topped with tangy purple cabbage slaw.

8. The Glasshouse
Image credit: The Glasshouse FB
The Glasshouse is quite a popular pick if you’re looking for a cafe in the City Hall area. Located in CHJIMES, the cafe lives up to its name with floor-to-ceiling windows and lush plant life as decor, making the space reminiscent of a greenhouse. It’s the kind of cafe you visit to catch up with a friend over coffee or a quick caffeine fix. The coffee here is priced affordably, and made from beans sourced from the homegrown roastery, Apartment Coffee.
They also have a selection of brunch dishes, including sandwiches, granola bowls, and toasts. For mains, go for the Avocado Dukkah Tartine ($19++), which features a generous portion of smashed avocado, marinated tomatoes, and dukkah atop sourdough bread. The Truffle Mushroom Pasta ($26++) and Carbonara ($24++) are safe picks too.

9. PUNCH
Image credit: @punch.gram
Clarke Quay cafe PUNCH is quite one of the most beautiful cafes we’ve seen, with its open courtyard and industrial-themed interiors. It’s definitely quite busy, but in our opinion, it’s worth the wait.
Image credit: @punch.gram
The breakfast and brunch menu stars your usual suspects—Scrambled Eggs on Toast ($16++), and Poached Eggs with Avocado ($17++)—but the cafe also has quite the extensive weekday lunch menu that we recommend trying. The Kani Ebi Laksa Burger ($24++) is a popular pick, thanks to its piquant laksa slaw and juicy crab-and-prawn patty.
Address: 32 North Canal Road, Singapore 059288
Opening hours: Daily 8am to 6pm

10. Naga House
Naga House has garnered significant buzz on social media for their stylish interiors, and their dual concept menu: they’re a cafe by day and a bar by night.
The menu has Japanese-fusion dishes aplenty from their Pork Tsukune Bowl (price TBD) to their furikake-topped Seafood Pasta (price TBD). Wash down their mains with your picks off their cocktail menu, or their no-ABV menu, which includes an array of coffees.

11. Alice Boulangerie
If you’re looking for a cafe with more substantial options for lunch or dinner, consider Alice Boulangerie! Alice Boulangerie not only has a gorgeous selection of bakes, but also an extensive menu of mains with Asian-infused flavours. Our favourite was the Laksa Paella ($46++), a seafood-packed, harmonious marriage of Spanish and Singaporean flavours.
Pair these alongside their creamy specialty drinks with the likes of the Black Sesame Latte ($7.50++) or Hojicha Cream Latte ($7.50++) to end the meal. Whether you’re here for brunch or dinner, you can’t leave without getting a few of their buttery bi-coloured croissants to try!

12. Elijah Pies
Local bakery Elijah Pies has been around since 2014, first starting off as a home-based business specialising in beautiful pies. Since then, they’ve established a dine-in cafe in the CBD, where you can get all their pies, savoury and sweet, to enjoy with a cuppa, or one of the inventive drinks on their menu.
The warm space, decked out in neutral tones, is a tranquil respite from the buzz of the busy business district. Kick back with their famous Nutella Pie ($7.90++) if you’re looking for something sweet and chocolatey, or their bestselling Wild Berry Lavender Pie ($8.50++), complete with its marbled-swirled top.

13. The Populus
Image credit: The Populus FB
The Populus is one of the OG cafes in Singapore. Nestled in the Duxton ‘hood, the industrial-chic cafe offers hearty all-day breakfast and brunch mains, as well as house-roasted coffees.
Image credit: The Populus FB
The Populus Scramble ($23++) is a menu signature, where creamy scrambled eggs are dressed with turkey bacon and feta cheese and served with a buttery toasted croissant. For a substantial main dish, try the Populus All Day Big Brekky ($29++), which comes with all the trimmings of a big breakfast, albeit elevated—think house-made baked beans, rosti, and eggs poached at 64 degrees.
Address: 145 Neil Road, Singapore 088875

14. Bearded Bella
Aussie-style cafe, Bearded Bella, is always buzzing. Located along Craig Road, the eatery offers all-day brunch fare, a dinner menu, and artisanal coffees. The brunch here is honestly inventive. You’ve got your typical Sliced Avocado Toast ($22++), but also the likes of their Corned Beef Maple Toast ($28++), and Salmon Pistachio Rosti ($26++).
Save some stomach space for their plated desserts and house-made cakes too. The Sticky Date Pudding ($12++), topped with vanilla bean ice cream, is quite popular here.

15. Fortuna Terrazza
Fortuna Terrazza is a new addition to the CBD. Run by the same folks behind Fortuna Singapore, this Italian brunch cafe in Tanjong Pagar serves up tasty toasties, burgers, and pizzas in an Amalfi-esque setting that’s vibrant and brightly lit. A highlight on their food menu is the Buongiorno Toast ($26++): a sourdough slice with folded eggs in creamy truffle mayonnaise, finished with thick-cut maple-glazed bacon. There’s also the #6 Cheese Toastie ($24++), loaded with lemon ricotta, provolone, Gorgonzola, Parmigiano, and Fior di latte—fresh mozzarella.
If you prefer something sweet, order the RicottaMisu Hot Cake ($18++), which features two stacked pancakes covered in a house-made coffee sauce, then topped with a dollop of mascarpone coffee cream and chocolate crumble. The cafe also offers a revolving menu of pastries, ranging from Nutella Tart (price TBD) to Lemon Meringue Tart (price TBD).

16. Hello Arigato
Hello Arigato garnered quite the hype when they first opened along Upper Thomson. Since then, they’ve opened another cafe along the oh-so-cool Everton Park neighbourhood. At this outlet, you can expect exclusive fresh bakes, alongside new menu items. Note that the cafe has limited indoor seating, so there might be a bit of a wait time.
At Hello Arigato Everton Park, you have to get their sando. Try the Tamago Sando ($15+), which pays tribute to the three-egg spinach dish from zi char eateries. Alternatively, the Porkatsu Sando ($26+) is recently added to their menu, featuring thick-cut kurobuta pork collar, house-made tonkausu sauce, Japanese mayo, and shredded cabbage enveloped in soft Japanese milk bread.

17. Kafe Utu
Kafe Utu is Singapore’s first cafe that pays homage to the broad spectrum of African cuisine, as well as specialty coffee from the region. The owner here hails from Kenya, and everything within Kafe Utu feels like a love letter to the region, from the local ceramics and decor used and the artwork displayed, to the dishes on the menu.
Kafe Utu is great for dining at all hours of the day, though they do have dinner-only and brunch-only dishes. Expect spice-forward curries, stews, and hearty grain bowls prepared with the freshest ingredients. Their desserts are also a must, especially their Nakupenda ($15++), a fried Swahili pastry with house-made soft-serve.

18. Nakey
Nakey is a Chinatown cafe that’s gotten a fair bit of attention online for their trendy mid-century modern decor.
Beyond their IG-worthy interior design, Nakey also has a brunch menu worth swinging by for. The Waffle Fried Chicken ($23+) was one of our favourites, featuring a hunk of crispy chicken and fluffy waffles. Save some stomach space for their house-made bombolini, stuffed doughnuts filled with flavoured custard. They’ve got some unique fillings here, such as the Donut French Toast ($15+) or Apple Bagel Bread Pudding ($16+). The former features sourdough donuts, mixed berries, whipped cream, cornflakes, and a drizzle of maple syrup.

They’ve got a selection of hearty, unique mains, from their Beef Ragu ($22++), topped with a runny egg, and their Fried Chicken French Toast ($19++), topped with bits of fried chicken. They also have a popular Iced Sesame Latte ($7++), which pairs espresso and sweet milk with the nuttiness of black sesame.
The minimalistic cafe is also quite spacious, with seats accommodating single diners and larger families.

20. Baker’s Bench Bakery
Baker’s Bench Bakery is a mouthful to say aloud multiple times, but the bread and other pastries here are definitely worth your while. Situated opposite Pinnacle at Duxton, the cafe is renowned for its homely and welcoming atmosphere.
Popular menu items here include the Sticky Bun ($6) and Plain Sourdough Croissant ($4). The sticky buns are sold individually, but you probably wouldn’t be able to stop at one. Slathered with sticky toffee and walnuts, the buns are best eaten warm. Shio pan fans can try their 100% Sourdough Shiopan ($3.50), too!

22. Great Nanyang Heritage Cafe
If you’re looking for a cafe that offers comfort food in the CBD, then pay a visit to Great Nanyang Heritage Cafe. Founded by the owner of Yang Ming Seafood, the cafe offers old-school Hainanese Western dishes and other local hawker favourites, all with recipes meticulously R&D-ed by the owner and his team.
The old-school kopitiam decor here is matched by an equally nostalgic menu. The Signature Hainanese Chicken Cutlet ($15.90++) is one we’d recommend; the recipe is a product of the owner trying 20 different old-school chicken cutlets before creating this version. They also have elevated breakfast sets here: think Traditional Kaya Butter Toast (from $2.70++) prepared with a rich coconutty kaya, best enjoyed alongside their Soft Boil Kampung Egg ($2.50++).

Some of their dishes are also fusion; think Rendang Duck Pasta ($25.90++). For hearty burgers, you won’t go wrong with their Wagyu Beef Burger ($24.90++), Portobello Burger ($18.90++), and Prawn Burger ($21.90++), the latter comprising a marinated prawn patty sandwiched by crispy brioche buns. The cafe is spacious yet cosy, and is a great pick if you’re looking for a place for a casual meal or a special occasion.

25. Gelato Messina
For a sweet treat in the middle of the day, swing by Gelato Messina. It’s Telok Ayer’s latest hot spot, drawing massive queues since its opening in May 2025. This highly acclaimed Australian gelato chain is even well-loved by superstar Dua Lipa herself!
A scoop here costs $7.50, while two scoops go for $10, and three cost $12—that works out to just $4 a scoop! Flavours range from bestsellers such as Dulce De Leche and Pistachio Praline to local flavours such as Kaya Toast and Tau Huay. The former features a creamy milk-caramel flavour that leans on the sweeter side.
FYI: Queues can get as long as a 30-minute wait, so plan your visit to avoid peak hours!

26. Hellu Coffee
Just a minute away from Telok Ayer MRT Station is the pet-friendly Hellu Coffee. The joint seats 16 people across its indoor and outdoor space, so it’s definitely one for a quick grab-and-go or short meal, rather than a full-on sit-down brunch affair.
Still, don’t discount Hellu Coffee. We love their wallet-friendly bites, including their croffles with unique fillings, priced from $5.50++. Both of these are great to enjoy with their specialty beverages, from refreshing teas to matcha and coffee. Don’t miss their popular Iced Matcha Creamu ($8.90++) and Dirty Creamu ($9.50++) while you’re here.

Even though the outdoor dining area makes for a very romantic dinner date spot, it is the interior of the Instagram-worthy cafe that is unquestionably stunning with high ceilings, marble tables, and teal highlights.
Botany does not skimp on its uni and ikura for its Scallop Truffle Capellini ($29+)━a cold pasta dish that’s aromatic with truffle salsa. If you happen to be someone who likes to eat breakfast for dinner, you can get the Signature Avocado Toast ($19+) all day long here! It’s garnished with kale, pomegranate seeds, and edible flowers, making for a vibrant and aesthetically pleasing dish.

It’s all about dining with friends here over their specialty filter coffee and quality brunch dishes. The coffees here are all made with beans from Nylon Coffee Roasters. Their cold brew is especially well-known and includes non-dairy versions. They also have a hot Matcha Latte ($6.50+), worth ordering if you’re not big on coffee.

If you love durian desserts, you’ll want to pay a visit to Ms Durian in Jalan Besar. The spacious, pet-friendly cafe has both outdoor and indoor dining areas, as well as every durian dessert you can feasibly imagine.
Come with friends to enjoy their afternoon tea set ($42), which comprises four types of durian pastries. Otherwise, for something smaller, try their signature Whisky Mao Shan Wang Cake ($15.20), which is worth the heatiness. Wash it down with their Durian Ice Blended ($11.50), a creamy, refreshing drink served with the surprising addition of roasted sesame seeds.

30. Moonchild
Atlas Coffeehouse has been on a roll for the past few years, churning out trendy cafes such as Supernova in Tanjong Katong and Apollo Coffee Bar, to name a few. The latest addition to the list is Moonchild, a hip cafe located in Jalan Besar. Moonchild has two menus: The Morning Situation, which runs from opening to 3pm, and the Midday to Close.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day to us, and if you agree, we recommend the Potato Stack, Smoked Salmon & Poached Eggs ($21.90++) for the perfect brekkie. The dish swaps out the typical rosti for a compact potato stack variant which soaks up the runny poached eggs much more efficiently.
Else if you’re here for dinner, the second menu sees interesting dishes such as the Pork Dan-Dan Scallion Noodles ($21++), Cereal Prawn Pasta ($20.90++), and Mentaiko Salmon Don ($19++).

Image credit: @average_service
Average Service is another Jalan Besar gem. Within a year of opening, the cafe has amassed over 1,5000 Google reviews and an impressive 4.7-star rating. Fans love their Thick Slab Bacon ($26++), a brunch staple that looks strikingly similar to the OG Velvet Egg & Bacon dish by the famous Fran’s Cafe in Bangkok. Here, a 180g slab of fatty, maple-glazed bacon is served on top of creamy eggs and brioche sourdough.
Image credit: @average_service
Another interestingitem is the Mentai Handkerchief Pasta ($24++), where sheets of “handkerchief” pasta are doused in a house-made mentaiko cream sauce, then finished with bacon chunks for extra flavour.

Keong Saik Bakery has come a long way since its first iteration as a bakery serving up French pastries with Asian twists. Since their Keong Saik days, the business has grown, and the brand has relocated to open a full-fledged cafe in Bedemeer’s Luzerne.
The Korean-style interior is immensely spacious and offers a walk-through display of their wide viennoiserie selection. The minimalistic dining area is great for a quick coffee and a pastry, or to work from. We recommend their Black Sesame Muah Chee Clairssant ($6.90++), filled with a black sesame and muah chee lava middle, and their Mentaiko Clairssant ($6.90++) that’s topped with smoky mentaiko sauce.

Another popular haunt in Luzerne is SYIP, a minimalistic eatery with all-day brunch, desserts, and crafted coffee beverages. It’s a very spacious cafe as well, with a variety of different seating options, from private nooks to bigger tables if you’re dining with a group.
Popular brunch picks here include the Octopus Mentaiko Rosti ($26++), which comes with a whole charred octopus leg, as well as their Mentaiko Shrimp Burger ($22++). For drinks, the Cold Hojicha Goma ($8++) is a thirst-quencher, where earthy roasted green tea is elevated with a bit of fruit jam.

Housed in a refurbished hardware store, Chye Seng Huat Hardware is an iconic cafe in Jalan Besar. Step inside, and you’re greeted with the aroma of freshly roasted beans from their in-house roastery. The industrial-chic decor, complete with exposed brick walls and rustic furnishings, sets the stage for a cosy brunch sesh with your friends.
Image credit: @cshhcoffee
The ambience is a huge draw, but we’re also fans of the food and coffee available here. If it’s brunch you’re after, try the Tempura Unagi Wrap ($18++) or the Triple Cheese Grilled Sandwich ($20++) for something unique. Pair that with your pick from their extensive range of coffees, which starts at $4++ for an espresso.

36. La Levain
La Levain regularly makes waves for their takes on trendy bakes—see: smashed croissants—but they’re an all-around great cafe to check out if you love pastries. The cafe is run by the former head bakery from Bakery Brera and Keong Saik Bakery, so that’s a fair amount of cred for their pastry menu overall.
The laidback cafe is lovely for a midday break over a coffee and a baked treat, and when it comes to the latter, you’ll be spoilt for choice. From Camembert Mushroom Croissant ($7) to Pistachio Salted Caramel Cruffin ($5.50), and Arabiki Sausage Danish ($5.80), there’s a lot to choose from.

37. Marymount Bakehouse
ICYMI: Sourdough specialty cafe Marymount Bakehouse has moved to Farrer Park, offering a whole new lineup of hearty mains. The popular bakery first started as a home-based business in 2020, before they rose to fame for their beautiful sourdough loaves and focaccia.
We recommend their handmade sourdough pastas, served with Morel Mushrooms & Aussie Broccolini ($22), Beef Ragu ($28) and more. During our visit in 2024, we found the fresh sourdough pasta perfectly al dente, clinging on well to the sauce. Alternatively, bread lovers can go for the Toasted Sourdough Bread Plate ($20), paired with your choice of eggs: sunny side up, omelette, or scrambled.

You can look forward to a decent selection of waffles here, including the trendy Sicilian Pistachio Kunafa Waffle ($21): freshly baked waffle topped with a generous layer of kunafa, caramelised bananas, fresh figs, and a scoop of gelato.
If you prefer something simpler, peruse their selection of 24 gelato flavours, priced from $5.30 for a single scoop, with an additional $1 required for premium flavours. The most popular choices are the Hibiscus Apple and Chocolate Hazelnut Kunafa. Besides the sweets, diners can also expect a separate menu of savoury items, including Fried Buttermilk Garlic Chicken Waffle ($16.90) and Momo Smashed Burger ($22): Australian grass-fed beef patties with cheddar, cheese sauce, caramelised onions, pickles, and fried mozzarella.

41. Pancake & Waffle Place
Those who aren’t sure if they’re team waffles or team pancakes can enjoy the best of both worlds at the aptly named Pancake & Waffle Place. They have both savoury and sweet renditions of their signature dishes, so this is so much more than a cafe just for desserts.
The Tiger Prawn ($21.90++) pancake is one of their most popular, served with a pancake stack, a smoky sauce, and garlicky tiger prawns. The Smores Pancakes ($18.90++) were another favourite; you get a moreish mess of waffles, charred and gooey marshmallows, complete with chocolate sauce.

Offering something different from your usual nondescript coffee drinks, Big Short Coffee is known for its super unique beverage lineup. Expect a slew of drinks prepared in ways you have never seen before, especially so because their menu operates on a seasonal basis!
From our previous visit, we got to try four Autumn-inspired beverages: Happy Valley Punch ($8.50), Little Black Sheep ($8), Mont Blanc ($8), and Warabi Mochi ($8.50). Our top two picks of the four were the Mont Blanc and Warabi Mochi. The former saw a blend of rich cold brew and vanilla cream, with a punch of orange and nutmeg flavours, while the latter was a satisfying mix of espresso, kinako cream, house-made warabimochi, and black sugar.
Note that Big Short Coffee’s menu changes once every few months, so the drinks listed here may not be available.
