Must Try Foodies!

Set in a surprising area of Holland Village, right in front of the MRT exit, this eco-friendly cafe/bar is a nice respite amidst nature. Serving all-day breakfast, this cafe transforms into a bar at night with an extensive variety of drinks.

Located in the depths of One North, you can expect a modern hipster interior with wooden tables for communal dining, high ceilings, and a condusive vibe. Give their French toast with golden syrup & fresh berries a try if you're looking for a bite to go along with your coffee.

Oriole Coffee + Bar at Somerset re-opened its doors in January after a 2-month period of refurbishment, bringing back their much-loved signature Yellowbird and Raven blends and a larger food menu. Start the day with a flat white and Rueben sandwich, and for a hearty lunch or dinner, go for the Fried Wild Rice or Beef Cheek Tagliatalle. Cold brews are very much welcomed in this heat, and Oriole's Taisho M.A.D. milk is a stellar hit -- a heavenly blend of freshly brewed coffee with a non-diary concoction of macadamias, almonds and dates (hence the M.A.D.). Their coffee milkshake and series of coffee-based cocktails prove to be great hits as well! Conveniently located in town, drop by and satisfy your cafe needs whenever you're around.

The Lokal probably needs no introduction, and it certainly deserves to be re-visited, time and time again. There aren't many places where you can "pimp your breakfast" quite so well, and in such a lovely space. While there are many items to choose from, don't hesitate to include their scrambled eggs ($5), delectable house-smoked salmon($6), sauteed mushrooms ($4) and always, always add ricotta ($5). Desserts and coffee are certainly their strong points, so don't leave without trying either the French Toast ($15) with sauteed apple, house-cured bacon, and maple cream (a true contender to Ronin's similar rendition), or their Toasted Banana Bread ($12) with vanilla yoghurt and caramelized bananas.

Serving incredibly satisfying Nordic-inspired fare like sandwiches on freshly baked sourdough, vibrant Nordic salads, and freshly ground coffee, it's no surprise that Gaest has developed a loyal following. For a simple weekend brunch, their Eggs-in-a-hole Sourdough Toast is the perfect choice. Not forgetting their ever-popular Pork Sandwich -- a delightful combination of roasted pork, crispy crackling, refreshing red cabbage slaw and apple slices on sourdough. There's something so refreshing about this unpretentious, sincere cafe that makes you want to come back. For uncomplicated, deliciously wholesomefare that won't break the bank, this is it.

😁 and thanks to @fuzzychef we got to try his Wood-Smoked Mackerel and Salmon platter this time too! YUM ☺️ Blessed Sunday everyone!

Another new item on the August menu- this Chicken Sausage Sandwich is topped with CHILI CRAB sauce for a real ooommphhh!

Egg Benedict on corn maple waffles, drizzled with creamy hollandaise sauce. Served with 3 generous slabs of back bacon and fresh salad (ps. the breakfast was served cold the first time and was asked to be changed) S$15. Score: 6.5/10

It's lack of a distinct shopfront doesn't stop the crowds from flocking to Ronin for excellent coffee and unpretentious food. Opened by the good folks behind The Plain and The Bravery, pop into this dimly-lit, no-nonsense cafe for some legit scrambled eggs on toast (add on that juicy portobello mushroom and bacon for good measure) and the well-loved Dirty Ronin sandwich. Do yourself a favour and get the decadent brioche French toast topped with braised apple, bacon, hazelnut butter and syrup -- you won't regret it. Of course, no brunch is complete without a kick of caffeine from their classic brews. If you feel like something different, go for their Matcha Latte, or cool down on a hot day with a Wicked!
