All in all, I like the novelty of this joint, as it’s really quite different from the neighbors, and the menu concept paired with mixologist concoctions, makes this a nice place for revisits at different times of the day.
Kafe Utu managed to live up to my low expectations, seeing how this is the first African cafe I've seen in my whole life here and they managed to hit home with the ambiance, dish curation and service.
I foresee this space to survive Singapore’s competitive culinary scene in years to come, as it provides both great food and good vibes.
Prices are comparable to other cafes, budget about SGD $22 per person.
Bearded Bella is influenced by the Melbourne Cafe culture and is opened early 2018 along Craig Road.
Bearded Bella is a cosy casual eatery with good coffee, wholesome food and good company.
I wouldn’t specially crave for the Kaya toast from Tong Ah given that there are so many other convenient local chains which serve this dish. That said, if you are in the Keong Saik vicinity or having a staycation at Kesa House, this is one good and cheap local breakfast option.
来到牛车水,不妨来这里吃一个早餐,感受一下当地人的风土人情吧!
Tong Ah Eating House also serves Crispy Thin Toast Kaya, French Toast with Kaya and Steamed Bread with Kaya (S$4.90).
Nice woody and milky latte, with a bit of acidity lending some character.
There is no shortage of aesthetically pleasing cafes in Tanjong Pagar, as many coffeehouses call the Duxton area home. There’s Parallel Coffee Roasters , Bearded Bella, and Butler Koffee all within walking distance of each other.
All in all, this is a pretty chill place to catch a breather at when you’re overwhelmed with work.
These cakes are available in-store and online. Satisfy your sweet tooth and try out their newly-released goodies!
I definitely see myself returning to the cafe soon for a warm cup of latte and more of their exquisite cakes.
Overall, I felt that LUNA is great for dates, weekday pick me ups or just casual chill out sessions.
The re-opening of Maxi Coffee Bar this October at their new location and home at 6 Ann Siang Hill is a relatively low key affair, which is also charming in its own way. In any case, Maxi Coffee Bar has always exuded that indie coffee vibe for me, and that spirit is reflective in their new location.
Small lovely place, good coffee, friendly people.
The Food Peeps may be tucked away just steps away from the main street of eateries at Tanjong Pagar all foodies would be familiar with, but it was a delightful find indeed.
A beautiful space, with beautiful hearts.
A spot that would work well for those looking for a casual spot with simple food for a short catch-up whilst getting educated about eco-friendly products, or even for those who are looking for somewhere away from the crowds and peaceful to do some work at.
Here's a tiny little shop next to Bamboo Bowls that does doughnuts and sandwiches (135 Amoy Street #01-03). I went for the latter, and was happy with that "Bobby Smalls" sandwich above featuring luncheon meat, a fried egg, cheese, arugula, and spicy mayonnaise.
Korio’s donuts and sandwiches are definitely worth checking out, especially if you work nearby!
Korio is a nice example of independent cafes I’d love to see more of in Singapore.
I would encourage you to try the Savoury range, which offers a refreshing Lime Mirin Tarragon, and a rather rare Truffle Ice Cream.
Scallop rolls were okay.
They offered a variety of seafood rolls filled with shellfish like razor clams and crab, and in a variety of styles like chili crab and mentaiko.

Dropping by for a light tea snack? Well then, pair your coffee, tea or drink with Upside Down Coffee Alternatives’ Homemade Banana Bread which is freshly baked every day.
Coffee is roasted in-house in small batches to ensure freshness. Some of their coffees are bought directly from farms, and there is always a changing variety.
Espresso machine kopi. You can really see and taste the crema of atas coffee. The coffee flavour was subtly bitter, toasty and smooth, and went down very nicely.
Overall, Leckerbaer has very pretty and delicious pastries which are slightly on the pricier end but the designs are delicately unique and the Småkagers cannot be found elsewhere and would make the perfect gifts for your sweet tooth friends.
If you’re looking for an alternative to the typical ice cream and waffles, Panquecas’ is definitely the place to be!
Drop by Ah Pui Tiong Bahru Satay if you are a satay lover, and it is best enjoyed with other Singaporean dishes. This is quite the ideal spot in Chinatown for locals or tourists as it is a convenient one stop spot to savour some of the famous hawker dishes in Singapore.

Fifty50 also serves up crafted herbal teas alongside a selection of espresso based beverage.
They have a wide variety of cakes, tarts, ice cream, parfaits, French bakes, and pastries, as well as coffee, tea, and juices.
Despite the place being almost fully occupied, I was impressed that the patrons here are more refined and they don’t converse in a disturbingly loud manner. Just like Taiwan.
ALL the products here are made from Mao Shan Wang, and not other forms of durian.
If I happen to be in Chinatown, I will definitely pop by to grab their durian takeaway cup and enjoy it on the go.
If you are feeling adventurous, go straight for the unconventional Black Charcoal Mao Shan Wang Durian Pizza (S$18.80), Durian Nuggets (S$6) and Durian French Fries (S$3.80).
