Kings Cart Joo Chiat is the place to go if you are tired of the usual espresso, cappuccino and pour-over coffees. How about Sng Buey coffee, Salted Caramel and Coconut Affogato for a change?
Well, they are new and I look forward to see them grow further into a better café with positive vision.
Food at King's Cart Coffee Factory is modern European, with a dash of local Singaporean influence. While the menu is rather small, dishes are hearty and tasty, with straightfoward but pleasing flavour combinations.
While the set lunches are decently price, an ala carte meal would be pricey for a cafe. Expect to spend close to $50 per pax for a meal over the weekend.
Service at Cafe Melba, in their Goodman Arts Centre outlet, is good. Staff are proactive and friendly, quickly greeting and seating guests.
Two visits later and I can finally conclude. A nice place to lay back and chill but it’s not a place I say you can keep returning regularly even though it has a nice Aussie vibe. Food wise I say it’s marginal for the price. It was hearty, good for sharing but I was expecting if I’m going to pay that much.
In a single trip, Supernova has turned me into an absolute fan and the same can be said for most people considering the crowd there, even on a weekday afternoon. And with such good food available throughout the day, I definitely have equally high expectations for their dinner menu. Guess there’s only one way to find out!

There is one more dish I have not had the chance to try, the Fried Chicken with French Toast. It was sold out on my second visit, and this dish is at the top of my list. I also wouldn’t mind to check out its dinner menu one day.
259 Tanjong Katong Road, Singapore 437047, open Sun to Thu 8am to 7pm, Fri and Sat 8am to 8pm
To be frank, i absolutely love the vibes when i stepped in; bright with no over-the-top decorations and there were plenty of green plants that contrasted nicely with the place's whiteness!
A great space to spend lazy afternoons away with a friend for a quality catch-up, or even for some quiet time to get some work done.
The Claypot Chicken Rice was chicken rice in a claypot rather than claypot rice. Every component was really good – the rice was grainy and fragrant and had a nice crisp where it touched the claypot. The chicken was tender and qq, and paired with nice minced ginger. The chilli was spicy, fragrant, sweet and piquant at the same time. And the chicken consommé tasted of nice earthy herbal chicken soup. Very nice.
Seng House, opened by the family behind Seng Coffee Bar, serves up a Hainanese-inspired spread in a chic, retro setting.
Seng House cafe in Tanjong Katong offers dishes that incorporate traditional Hainanese flavours into contemporary cafe fare.
Perhaps, the overall taste does not suit our tastebuds, as we prefer a more flavourful taste.
The flagship store Awfully Chocolate Bakery & Cafe is a place for freshly handmade chocolate cakes, desserts, brunch & awfully good dinner.
It has a nice space that does not feel congested. The service is friendly. Prices, though not low, are reasonable.
The pretty cake was gently and flowery sweet, very delicate and layered, with many different textures, from the fruity guava and elderflower mousse encasing three different layers – diced fresh pears, pink guava jelly and a buttery and crumbly cookie base. The latte was so so though, very milky.
Tigerlily Patisserie is a great addition to Joo Chiat, which joins the ranks of popular establishments like Da Dong Prawn Noodles and Petit Pain. Expect to pay higher than average prices for tarts, crazy queues and one aspect which could be better, the service.
Tigerlily Patisserie cafe in Joo Chiat is a great option for breakfast & brunch; and for beautifully crafted sweet & savoury pastries.
Prairie by Craftsmen is one of the many new cafes in the Joo Chiat area. I am not much of a cafe person, but I wanted to try, and went for a work meeting.
Prairie By Craftsmen Cafe in Joo Chiat opens early and is a nice place for breakfast/brunch with good coffee to kick start your day.
The Katong and Joo Chiat areas are teeming with cafes. It is kind of becoming hard to differentiate one from another, but this latest cafe does stand out from the rest in terms of its offerings.
Good Chai People also currently allows for private events booking with the GCP team providing venue and menu for company dinners and private parties with customizable themes and elaborate buffet setups.
Sip on over 10 types of spiced tea at Good Chai People, the very first chai-focused cafe in Katong, Singapore.
Neptune – Coffee Cafe at East Coast Road
The Neptune is a charming cafe in East Coast where we would be happy to go to for a good cup of coffee and reminisce about The Neptune Theatre of the topless revue fame or feel the wonder and excitement of young families eating together and playing with their topless babies.
family-friendly space, cheerful service & good food. Little Rogue Coffee is a breakfast and brunch spot that is worth getting out of bed for
Meet Little Rogue Coffee, a new cafe along Tanjong Katong Road. With a floor space big enough for a playpen in the middle of the cafe for the young ones (closed for now due to the ongoing pandemic), a rack for those with bicycles, and plenty of seats available, you won’t have to worry too much about waiting ages for a table, at least not on weekdays.
Mei Yuen Restaurant’s slightly run-down appearance adds the charm of a bygone era to the food they serve. Their wonton mee is not immediately impressive, rather its selling point is how simple and basic it is. Consisting of just egg noodles, sliced char siew, a few wontons and caixin, Mei Yuen Restaurant’s signature dish gives you a really old school taste.
I thought quite a nice wanton mee, in an old school coffeeshop. The noodles were of the thicker type, bitey, in a sauce that had some sesame oil fragrance and ketchup sweetness. The char siew was thick, bitey, sweet and just slightly caramelised. The wantons were quite full, with nicely marinated meat and silky wanton skin. Sweet and slightly herbally soup. Overall nice old school Singaporean style wanton mee.
new Plain Vanilla East Coast has early opening hours, an alfresco lounge area, a children’s playpen and a pet-friendly area.
The coffee here is by Allpress, one of my favourite New Zealand coffee roaster brands. You can also expect smoothies, cold pressed juices, tea, craft beer brewed locally by Brewlander, cocktails and wines.
Recommended by Eatbook.sg. The croissant was buttery, crispy and layered, while the satay chicken was slightly spicy and tasted of curry rather than satay sauce. Quite a normal cafe with usual offerings.
Ambling Turtle offers an interesting variety of Peranakan-inspired food for all day dining and good coffee. The prices are reasonable.
Our breakfast was a simple one but it felt rather special because of the location and the atmosphere.
Choice Cuts, a quaint vinyl record shop and cafe in Joo Chiat, has moved to its new premises across the road. It is now more like a cafe that also sells records.
Breakfast at Brawn & Brains Coffee East Coast is a pleasant and relaxed affair. It opens early and serves nice food and great coffee in a charming space.
Brunch is a nice relaxing way to begin a weekend day. We started one Saturday morning at Little Farms. The Pancakes were light and made a little differently than I am used to.
PS Cafe is one of those places to go when you feel like pampering yourself. In terms of price, it is a tad more than a regular restaurant. However, for the portion and the ambience, it is totally worth it.
