Brightening up the Novena neighbourhood is The Clueless Goat, a new cafe which serves coffee, waffles and brunch options. The beans used are from Common Man Coffee Roasters, so you know your coffee needs will be met. Choose from a variety of brunch options such as their Ranchers' Eggs -- poached eggs with smashed avocado, salsa and shaved parmesan -- and their British Breakfast Platter. Do not leave without trying their very unique waffles, which taste like a cross between buttery pancakes and fluffy waffles, perfect for when you can't decide between the two ;)
From the people behind Montana Brew Bar comes Nookie Yogurt, a yogurt concept best described as "frozen yogurt meets deconstructed desserts". You can choose from various exciting flavours, ranging from the light-tasting Strawberry Watermelon Rose to the more indulgent Chocolate Banana Churros. If you're feeling inventive, you can also customise your yogurt!
Situated at Kreta Ayer, the newly opened Les Delices (which translates to "The Delights") intriguingly pairs Chinese tea -- both hot and cold brew options are available -- with French choux pastries and cakes. Their signature choux pastry come in flavours such as Earl Grey Milk Tea, Valrhona Chocolate and Matcha, while cakes currently include the Mango Charlotte and Berry Popping Cheesecake. Go for the Lemon Strawberry Rosette and Earl Grey Milk Tea Choux!

Fans of Monocle would be delighted to know that a brand new Monocle Cafe and retail store just set up shop in Holland Village. Located in the very residential Jalan Kelabu Asap, you can look forward to enjoying a great cuppa brewed with La Marzocco beans from New Zealand’s Allpress, and flip through copies of Monocle in their outdoor garden space. It's easy to miss, but for chill vibes and one of the best long blacks (according to Burppler Eileen Ong), it'll be beneficial to keep your eyes very peeled.
Unique up-cycled furniture, mismatched chairs, wooden tables and one-of-a-kind standing lamps give newly opened Aeiou nothing but character. Currently in their soft launch phase and set to officially open on 11 Jan, don't let the lack of a full menu deter you from checking this cafe out pronto. With adorably quaint furniture and an unbelievably laid-back vibe, this is one perfect place to stop by for an iced avocado coffee or simple black brew served in a repurposed vodka bottle. Novelty right there,
Italian bistro and gelateria Chapter 55 (sister to Ice Edge Cafe) has opened up shop in Tiong Bahru, adding to the already extensive list of eateries there. Their fluffy waffles topped with homemade gelato and range of Italian bites and desserts from pastas and pizzas to tiramisus and lava cakes are already drawing in the lunchtime crowd. Their signature gelato waffles ($14-$18.50) may be slightly on the pricey end, but hey - you get what you pay for in quality, with light, fluffy waffles, and rich, flavourful gelato.
You can't possibly have too much ice cream in the tropics. Recently opened DanmiSoft brings you milky smooth, organic soft serve ice cream from Korea, with a range of toppings and flavours that include manuka honey, affogato, caramel popcorn and the ever popular honeycomb ($3.90-$5.90). Want to bump up the healthy factor? Ask for an additional topping of Himalayan pink salt, available for all flavours!
Newly opened Japanese bakery Asanoya specialises in delicious gourmet breads and pastries. Located in Wilby Central, their Singapore flagship store has gotten us all excited over their Japanese-European fusions. Their signature Karuizawa breads are divine, and include flavours like blueberry and matcha with white chocolate. Other must-trys are the maple walnut pretzel made with homemade maple butter, the apple caramel cube/ cube loaves and earl grey tea bread. But really, you could just close your eyes, pick something, and it'd be pretty great.
Durian Creme Brulee. Salted Egg Fries. These are all the reasons you need to pay The Quarters a much-needed visit. Located in Icon Village at Enggor Street, they take inspiration from local Asian flavours to create exciting and unique mod-sin (Modern Singapore) dishes. A sucker for salted-egg-yoke anything will HAVE to order the crispy fries with salted egg yolk dip, and of course, don't leave without first trying their signature durian creme brulee - with smooth, creamy Mao Shan Wang durian custard that's so, so satisfying.
