2. Puzzle Coffee
Popular Melbourne roaster Puzzle Coffee is at ION Orchard! You can try the popular Magic—Melbourne’s Secret ($6), a Melbournian special that combines double ristretto with steamed milk, making it slightly stronger than a cup of flat white. If this sounds intense and you’d like something sweet instead, there’s the Biscoff Latte ($6.50) or Purple Sweet Potato Latte ($6.50) for your consideration, best paired with their flaky Almond Croissant ($7).

3. Blue Bottle Coffee
Blue Bottle Coffee needs no introduction. The famous American coffee chain opened their first outlet at Raffles City in Singapore, followed by another at Paragon Shopping Centre. We tried a few of their drinks, and thought the Cold Brew ($7.50) was the best as it boasted a nutty, roasted flavour. Alternatively, the crowd-favourite NOLA AKA New Orleans-Style Iced Coffee ($8) is a must-try; here, the beans are brewed with roasted chicory and blended with cane sugar. Now, for the bakes, we recommend the Coconut Kouign-Amann ($8) or the outlet-exclusive Liege Waffles ($8.50), a delightfully buttery and fluffy treat that will surely fill you up.

4. Fan’s Cafe
Fan’s Cafe at Far East Plaza is for all shio pan fans—you can get salted bread from $3 in a variety of rotating flavours here. During our visit, we tried a total of three flavours, including Shiopan Original ($3), Hamu ($3.80), and Kohi Choco ($4). The latter was our favourite as there were specks of coffee grounds that added a rich depth of flavour to the otherwise chocolatey bread. We also paired the bakes with a cup of Matcha Latte (from $5.50) and Latte (from $5). If you like your matcha latte thick and strong, we recommend trying other drinks instead.

Ami Patisserie is a French-Japanese dessert cafe in Orchard Road helmed by a Japanese chef with culinary experiences at two Michelin-starred restaurants.

The a la carte menu changes from time to time, but the Smoked Caramel Coffee Choux ($11++) remains a steady seller, featuring a crisp puff loaded with cream infused with their house-roasted coffee blend. There’s also the Tahitian Vanilla Choux ($11++), a seemingly simple pastry packed with a vanilla custard centre that comes with a fun twist—the cream is spiked with Jamaican rum and Indonesian vanilla bean.

7. The Awfully Chocolate Experience Cafe
If you’re headed to Wisma Atria anytime soon, visit The Awfully Chocolate Experience Cafe, where you’ll find Singapore’s first-ever chocolate raclette wheel. This is similar to a raclette cheese wheel, but you get melted chocolate scraped off and drizzled atop your dessert plates instead of cheese. Our favourite dessert to pair with the melted chocolate was Pisang Pisang ($15++), starring a dense banana cake with a layer of spiced apple filling, then finished with crispy goreng pisang nuggets and toasted walnuts. While you’re there, also give the Chocolate Muah Chee (15++) a try, which spotlights melt-in-the-mouth chocolate warabimochi with a side of peanut powder and chocolate sauce.

8. Pancakes And Friends
We’ve been to plenty of bagel cafes in Singapore, and out of the lot, Pancakes And Friends is second to none for its wallet-friendly prices. We enjoyed their Chocolate Banana ($12) bagel, smeared with a chocolate hazelnut spread, sliced bananas, icing sugar, and cocoa powder. If you’re not a big fan of bagels, order their Hokkaido Milk Pancake ($12) instead; you get a house-made milk cream and muesli bits atop a fluffy souffle pancake, alongside a scoop of Hokkaido milk gelato.
