27th June 2024

North-East cafes from Punggol to Serangoon


There are plenty of cafes in Singapore, though most of them tend to be concentrated in the centre of the city. The North-East has a fair share too, with plenty of cool joints that leverage on their remote locations to craft unique and picturesque brunch experiences. From Serangoon to Punggol, discover 28 North-East cafes that will inspire you to ditch Tanjong Pagar and Tiong Bahru on your next cafe-hopping adventure.


Serangoon cafes


1. Joji’s Diner 


jojis-diner-flatlay

Step inside Joji’s Diner and you’re greeted by a space styled to look like Americana diners of days past, complete with cherry red booth seats, and a jukebox machine. The menu offers diner fare as well: think deliciously greasy breakfast sets, alongside mains such as Chicken & Waffles ($12.90++), burgers, and Mac & Cheese ($7.50++).

joji's-diner-ambience

Definitely grab a milkshake to enjoy with your meal for maximum vibes. There are two flavours to choose from: Strawberry Paddlepop and Banana Creampie. Both are priced at $8.90++.

2. The Better Scoop


the-better-scoop-flatlay

The Better Scoop offers something a little different from the usual gelato-and-waffles combo. The Serangoon cafe has made quite a wave for their Nian Gao Waffles ($6.80++), where buttermilk waffle batter is laced with actual, chewy bits of nian gao for added chew. The gelato flavours here are unique as well, with options such as Honey Chamomile Blue Pea and Hoegarden Rose which are priced at $4.20 for a single scoop in a cup.

Situated just a five-minute walk from Serangoon MRT Station, the cafe is great for chill catch-ups with friends over dessert.

3. Apollo Coffee Bar


apollo-coffee-bar-flatlay

Apollo Coffee Bar has been a Serangoon Gardens fave for years now, for two reasons: great food, and equally stunning interiors. Apollo Coffee Bar is run by the folks behind Atlas Coffeehouse and Columbus Coffee Co as well, so you know they’ve got the goods.

apollo-coffee-bar-ambience

Swing by to feast on their brunch offerings, of which there are bites including Summertime French Toast ($19.50+++): shokupan paired with citrus-infused cream and fresh fruits. They also have Cereal Prawn Pasta ($20.90++), which takes inspiration from the zi char classic, mai pian xia. Be prepared to queue for a table, as it can be quite crowded during peak hours.

Their Wagyu Beef Burger ($28++) is another popular choice, where a marbled, juicy Wagyu patty is served on buttery brioche, then topped with caramelised onions. The bistro seats 70 people, spread across an indoor area, their long bar, and an airy, dining room at the back of the unit.

surrey-hills-grocer-pork-belly-benny-establishment

Their Pork Belly Benny ($28++), which stars a massive slab of sous-vide, then deep-fried, pork belly, is another must-try. If you want something even heartier, go for the Lava Wagyu Burger ($32++): brioche buns sandwiching a thick Wagyu beef patty, drenched in a skillet of melted cheese.

Lickers is a chameleon of a cafe. In the daytime, this ice cream parlour is bright and cheerful, sporting cute, family-friendly decor. At night, it morphs into a different being, as dim lighting and neon signs with cheeky taglines give a cool urban vibe to the space.

lickers-ice-cream-establishmentImage credit: @lickerssg

Classic flavours such as Roasted Pistachio and Dark Chocolate are of course available. A single scoop is priced at $3.80, while premium flavours cost $0.80 more. But if you’re feeling bold, there’s a multitude of unique flavours too. Most famous is the Yakult Oreo, which combines two Singaporean childhood favourites. The tangy yakult and sweet Oreo jive unexpectedly well, and are even better stacked on a Waffle (from $5)

19. Sweedy Patisserie

Tucked away at Hougang Rivercourt is Sweedy Patisserie! This is where you can get their famed fatcarons AKA macarons filled with layers of buttercream. The fatcaron flavours change every month, but their ever-popular Mao Shan Wang Fatcaron ($6.50+) is a mainstay flavour that regulars love.

north-east-cafes-sweedy-patisserie-crookie-establishment

ICYMI, the cafe was also one of the first few patisseries in Singapore to make the viral Crookie ($7.80+ a piece)! Fresh croissant is filled with cookie dough and then double-baked together. This created a sweet treat that was crispy and flaky on the outside, with gooey chocolate chips and cookie dough within. Other than the classic crookie, the patisserie has also expanded their selection with new flavours such as Nutella and Speculoos.

20. Denzy Gelato


north-east-cafes-denzy-gelato-gelato-flatlay

Denzy Gelato is where you go for award-winning gelato as the cafe had previously earned the title of Singapore’s best gelato in 2019 by the Dessert Association Singapore. The last time we went, they launched their new no-sugar-added gelato flavours such as Chrysanthemum Goji,  Black Sesame, and Hazelatte. Fun fact: prebiotic fibres are added to these new flavours to prevent your blood sugar level from spiking after enjoying them. 

north-east-cafes-denzy-gelato-brownies-establishment

Pair your gelato ($3.90 a scoop) with their warm Brownies ($6.30). The melty chocolate chips within the sweet treat complemented the Roasted Bronte Pistachio gelato really well. We liked the nutty blend of chocolate and pistachio while enjoying the hot-cold contrast between the brownie and gelato.

Another popular kid on the North-East cafes block is Apricus Cafe, run by The Populus crew. This Sengkang gem serves up classic Aussie-style brunch fair all day. Diners can choose between big breakfast sets, pastas, other mains, and even desserts. We highly recommend their Norwegian Salmon Brown Butter Linguine ($24+), which comes with a generous slab of crispy skinned salmon, and al dente linguine tossed in a nutty brown butter sauce.

For casual, no-frills Taiwanese fare in Sengkang, head to Eat 3 Bowls at the basement of Compass One.

north-east-cafes-eat-3-bowls-oyster-and-pig-intestine-mee-sua

Out of the three, we liked the Oyster and Pig Intestine Mee Sua the most. This is especially due to their well-cooked and silky mee sua and QQ pig intestines. If you prefer to have just the bowl of noodles, you can get its regular portion for $8.50

north-east-cafes-well-collective-flatlay

The menu’s got a mix of healthy eats—think acai bowls and vegetarian options aplenty—and a good mix of Asian fusion, as well as classic brunch dishes. We loved their Madame’s Truffled Egg Croissant ($19++), where buttery, flaky pastry is stuffed with bechamel sauce, Emmental cheese, creamy scrambled eggs, and an indulgent shaving of black truffle. Desserts here aren’t to be missed, as the crafted cakes all look as good as they taste.

Surrounded by beautiful lush gardens, the botanically-themed Wildseed Cafe & Bar is tucked inside the ulu Seletar Aerospace Park. The scenery itself is worth a trip, with verdant greens enveloping the colonial building that houses the cafe. It’s not all for show though, as the cafe adopts a farm-to-table concept, utilising ingredients that are freshly harvested from the gardens.

Inside, there’s a good balance between routine cafe fare and innovative dishes. Their Pulled Pork Burger ($26++) caters to the less adventurous, but they also have more interesting options such as Smoked Duck Pizza ($27++) and Soft Shell Chilli Crab Linguine ($29++). The cafe is pet-friendly, too!
