On a Saturday afternoon, I waited in line for about 40 minutes to get a seat in the air-conditioned space. The outdoor seating area seems to have a higher turnover rate so getting a seat there is easier. This cafe also has no time limit on how long you can have the table. Ordering can be done via a QR code, or at the counter. I would recommend going to the counter since you can see the available bakes. I enjoyed the Chocolate Muffin ($5.50) which was very chocolatey and had melted chocolate on top of a moist chocolate muffin. However, over time, the chocolate taste may be a bit much, and I would suggest pairing it with another bake like the Almond Croissant ($5.50). This was hot when it was served. However, the texture of this croissant is more of a biscuit, rather than the flakey French pastry one might expect. It was a little bland and I could not detect any buttery fragrance. I also had a pot of Blue Early Grey Tea ($7) which was pretty good, and the refills are free.

We came here for some cakes after our dinner at another place. It was a Saturday night and we were able to get a table for 4 immediately. The cakes were served very quickly right after you ordered. I tried the Spiced Carrot Cake, it was moist and delicious. The atmosphere is nice for a drink, for a chat, but the seats and tables are old school, so they are not the most comfortable. There are indoor and outdoor seats. The outdoor seats are sheltered, so I think it might still be okay in the day. There's limited parking along this street. And it's a one way street, if you drive past and fail to get a parking lot, you need to go for a short detour. As with many places, we scan a QR code for a webpage for their order menu. We paid immediately on the website using Apple Pay or Google Pay to submit our orders, before they serve them to you. Takeaways allowed too. Looking through my old photos I realized we were last here as a group in Nov 2018 and almost 5 years later we are here again. :)

Nice unique cafe that’s housed in what used to be a hardware store. The space is pretty bit and has a large outdoor seating area. Inside, it has bar style seating along with some tables. The cafe also has its own roastery and a nice shop to buy coffees and coffee equipment from. We reached here around 10AM on a weekend, and it was moderately crowded. We ordered the following - 1) Black Bean Chorizo skillet - At first glance, quantity seems less but this was quite filling. Chorizo sausage sliced up on a bed of black beans in a gooey moderately spicy sauce. I felt the sauce was quite watery. 2) Triple Cheese Grilled Sandwich - Thick sourdough served with molten triple cheese - Gouda, mozarella and cheddar. I liked this one. Served with a side of apple pear salad with walnuts. 3) Daily Brew Filter Coffee - Moderately strong brew. Overall, good food and service. Pet friendly cafe. Cool ambience.

Neat little cafe that has a hardware store theme. Service staff is pleasant though counter staff taking orders look like an intimidating unsmiling discipline master. Not sure why tables are so small - order 3 items and things are almost falling off. Food is pretty good though. Salad was nicely done with a mix of fresh ingredients. The Papa breakfast is a hearty dish that comes with egg, sausage and toast. Worth a visit.

Great atmosphere for photos, recommend to visit and relax yourself. Indoor sitting is limited, and all tables are a bit small in size. Service is nice and friendly. As for the dining ,they're choices from breakfast to brunch to suitable for your time. People can go for a light or a heavy meal, or they can just drop by to enjoy a cup of coffee with cake. Open Garden will be great in the morning or evening but avoid the hot afternoon, the stuffy weather may turn your good mood down.

Very nice coffee place. They roast their own beans and brew there and then. Food and pastry is very nice too. They have a retail outlet which sell coffee machines, beans and brewing utensils. Highly recommended if u love coffee.

Very nice café with nice coffee and food! Nice cozy vibes too. The staff were friendly and explained the pour over coffee to us and how we can drink it for maximum flavour. We went on a Saturday afternoon, quite crowded. Ordered two main dishes, the huat burger and the presto dish. Very delicious!! They also have a shop behind it that sells coffee beans and hardware.

Nice vibey coffee bar with good coffee and food. Note that the indoor (aircon) seating area is a little small, might not be easy to find a seat/ it’s get a little crammed during peak hours. The upper deck serves like a coffee education level with The Cupping Room and C-Platform.

I was here at 1030 on a Saturday and we easily managed to get a table outdoor. I had a daily brewed coffee ($4.50) and a Coddled Eggs and Mash ($10), a light breakfast with a little twist. Coffee is great given that it is their specialty after all. No complaints on their food. Price is definitely on the higher end, but comparable to other cafe. Overall, it is quite a comfortable cafe to be in, since there is ample store space to accommodate the crowd. A bonus though was how cyclist-friendly this cafe is. There is a bicycle parking area which can accommodate several bicycles, allowing cyclist to enjoy some food comfortably at their cafe before continuing their journey again. A very sweet touch by the cafe when they could have easily just use the space for another table or two.

Wow what a great place for coffee. I didn’t give it five stars as we stood waiting outside for too long before someone came out to greet us... you cannot enter until they come and open the barrier and door. Coffee was really good. I also tried the vegan scones, which were tasty and served with fresh fruit. It was cool to sit at the bar and watch the baristas in action. They really know what they’re doing here. Service was really friendly which was nice. They have a decent food menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Definitely worth a visit! — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — I’ve been back twice more and really love it here. Always really good coffee. I’ve also tried the banana bread which is served with espresso butter! Wow! This is really really good and you get two large slices!

This is the place where you can get a high quality specialty coffee and excellent cakes. The presentation of the coffees is also very though through. I love that they have a coffee gear shop in the Annex. The staff there is very knowledgeable. The place was as usually crowded (based on the allowed safety measure capacity) but it's understandable why is it so. Previously I also went to their cupping lesson (few years ago). I have a very fond memory of that training. High quality experts that know how to present things is a very passionate way.

Not sure why there are so many 5 stars reviews. Well, definitely not from me. I was there on a Saturday afternoon seated at the outdoor area as indoor was full. Do take note they do not accept reservations. Seatings are based on what are available during walk-in. Indoor decor was pretty impressive to be honest. However, outdoor is no difference from the kopitiam opposite. 🤭 The only difference was the price. The 22 dollars beef stew was pathetic. It’s definitely a kid’s size serving 😆 Doesn’t justify the price at all. Not like it is super tasty. Then it was my espresso. Not sure it was me or the espresso, it really tasted sour 😱 I should have gone opposite if I know food and drinks were of this standard. Chicken wings & bacon potato sourdough are okay. At least something acceptable. Whatever it is, this will be my first and my last. P/S: Table is super duper small. So if you are planning to order lotsa food think twice. Be your own judge. It could me. 😆

This is a hidden place along Tyrwhitt Rd. Externally won’t tell is a cafe. It have a cozy environment for a different experience but Parking can be challenging during weekend. The Service was excellent 👍, coffee was smooth worth to try for coffee lovers. I had a piece of cheese cake that go along with coffee which blends well. 😋

Food is not bad, coffee is great. However, we had a bad experience because there’s an issue with the online ordering system. Service crew was patient but service recovery can be improved - seems like there’s no clear SOP on how to handle missing orders.

A quirky and serious coffee shop located in a renovated hardware store for coffee drinkers with a relaxed and comfortable vibe. The coffee is excellent and having a couple of blends and a decaf on offer, plus filter coffee helps you appreciate the different blends better. My only issue with the coffee is mine was served nearly lukewarm and would have been better a little warmer. There's an outdoor and indoor seating area, depending on the weather.

Baked eggs and spinach - 4.5 stars Good garlic flavour. Could've used an extra egg. Loved the chunky crusty sourdough slices. Sourdough scones - 3 stars Really more like a wholemeal muffin. Not much flavour (couldn't taste the sourdough) but much better with the clotted cream and jam. Daily brew ($5) - 5 stars Tastes like a great fruity tea. Best black coffee I've had at most regular cafes. Latte - 5 stars

A great place to start your day with family or friends! A lot of options. Their cold brew is pretty good! Sweet and savoury food are both great. It tends to get busy during weekends!

Lil European themed cafe with a selection of coffee, tea and pastries. It’s noisy for work and the chairs are uncomfortable for a longer seating. It’s on a pricey side for the service and amenities. But it’s okay for a short break in the SG heat. Coming from Europe, I’d say they did a good job with the coffee but the croissant could use some improvement. Overall nice visit and worth a go but wouldn’t revisit.

Cozy vibes, q busy on a sunday afternoon. They allow to bring your pets outdoors. Indoors its quite echoy, abit hard to have a nice conversation and the table is quite small. But the service is decent, though they forgot about our order a few times. They do not limit dining timing and that makes a lovely afternoon cozying in the cafe. Tried their dirty coffee, with the two variety of beans. They provided a p accurate description of the beans upon choosing and certainly not disappointed. The beans are an acquired taste but I do like it, not my friend. Their laksa prawn pasta is simple and not bad (not great either). The sauce is abit dry but the soft boiled egg helps make it saucier. The fried bits of tau kwa is a nice touch to get a laksa vibe and i love it. The dessert on the other hand is great. First time trying bread pudding, was nice. Its moist and spongy, soaking up the nice cinnamony drizzle. The pulut hitam ice cream is also very smooth and a good combination to the bread pudding. Wished the ice cream taste was stronger though. highly recommend.

Good brunch spot. This is a fairly popular spot for taking Instagram photos. The food was good albeit slightly small portions for the price paid. They offer a couple vegan options (breakfast scones and Oat meal) and have nut milk as substitutes for cow milk for their coffees. You cannot make reservations for dining in so during busy hours or weekends, you might have to line up for a bit before getting a table.

Interesting cafe. Love their interior deco... especially the welded iron bar wall! Latte was so so though. Salted caramel cake was a tart too sweet for my liking, but tasted great nonetheless. String fries with parmesan cheese was average... fries was hardly warm when served to our table. Gents is located at 2nd floor, accessible through a tiny windy spiral staircase... not really handicapped friendly. There are out door sitting as well, but we chose the air conditioned one to escape the humidity.

Went to give breakfast a try here like we do every Saturday morning after leaving my son for his French lessons. No reservations here but there was not much of a queue probably cause we were there by 9am. Parked at the stadium but there were still lots nearby the place. Breakfast choices were limited, if you are into pastries then fine but if you are like me where breakfast includes avocado, toast, poached eggs, sausages - u know where I'm getting to....then give it a miss.

It's always tough to get a table here. Dessert and coffee/beverages are good.

We went there for brunch on Monday - love their pandan pancakes and chilli crab dish! Waiting staff are attentive and the ambience was really good as they played Christmas classics.

CSH always reminds me of my younger days when the cafe scene just started in Singapore. It has a great community vibe here. The outdoor seating can be a little humid (well, Singapore), but the great coffee and food makes up for it. I didn’t know they serve food; but it wasn’t disappointing at all. I’ve always known them for their coffee but their food was pretty alright too. The pork don that I had was quite delicious. Feels good to be back eating at cafes again. You can also shop for coffee beans and all coffee making equipments here. Highly recommend trying their filter coffee if you come here!

Food and coffee tasted good in a chic setting. Liked my DIY breakfast - without the usual processed meats. Good vibes.

Really impressed by the coffee here. Flavours are so robust and fragrant, easily one of the best coffees I’ve had. They have some cold brews which look interesting too. We also really enjoyed their blueberry lavender cake - so much so that we had to get another one to-go!

Impressive nostalgic feel, old hardware store converted into cozy cafe. Wide array of selection for coffee brewing style, beans and pastries to choose from. There is also beans roasting machine and their retail store with wide ranges of coffee related wares within this Cafe. Will definitely come back again.

We do enjoy a great brunch at here. Papa breakfast is in UK style and if you seat on bar side , you can see how they make coffee. Really recommended to try on long black.

I’ve been already few times. Nice place for brunch, coffee and delicious fruits cakes 😀 pleasant atmosphere 🙂

We had banana cake and I had a green juice They have their own rooster and this apparently is the best place to get real and good, good, good coffee. I know nothing of it since I don't read coffee. The cafe is rustic, apparently been around forever, and is popular. We were able to get seats easily outdoors though. They have their own shop at the back of the cafe for anybody serious about coffee.

Pretty nice coffee hidden away in this rustic building. Staff super friendly there is tasting behind for buying the coffee beans too. The beans are special select from different countries. They change location once in a while so depending on timing the beans come from different parts of the world. Had cake to go with coffee.

An excellent place for family and friends that want to have a hearty breakfast or brunch on a relaxing weekend (or even week days!). There is a wide food selection for everyone, whether you are a meat lover, pescatarian, or vegetarian; therefore, the restaurant is suitable for both adults and children alike. The decor still resembles the old hardware store and hence the unique atmosphere -- an experience like none other!

Great selection of coffee with milk options. Their white cold brew is really nice and not sweet. Nice selection of imported coffee beans from Africa and South America. Pastries are also nice.

Has a late night coffee here with friends. Never knew such a place even though I have lived around Bugis for a while. The pastry, ice creams and coffee are great. Liked the aromatic coffee. Great place to chat with good friends and chill.

It is definitely a very interesting concept of setting up Chye Seng Huat Hardware Coffee Bar from an old rundown warehouse and I love it !!! I have taken many pictures to post on Google map. We had dropped by for drinks after dinner at Kok Kee Wanton Noodles around the corner and will come by another time to try the food and cakes 🎂.

It's been many years since I've been yo chye seng huat. Pleasantly surprised that it is still around and still feels nice and cosy when I visited on a rainy evening. The inside seating is still the same as 5 years ago. Happy that they have added more seats outdoor with covering. Ordered cold brew and it taste nice. Not too acidic and not overly sweet.

Ambience is great with the nostalgic vibes. Our capuccino and latte were both served lukewarm .. a little too cold for our liking. When we asked, the young man explained that the coffee beans will be burnt if too hot...hmmmmm...that is befuddling...but we let it go.. Food was alright so overall it was a pleasant meal.

Very welcoming as soon as I opened the door, easy to order using the qr code and the quick, friendly service continued. Food was great, only dropped a star as the coffee wasn't to my taste but I would go back and try a different blend next time!

Served very nice dessert. Croissant was on the dry side. Coffee and fresh juice was great. It does get warm at the outdoor sitting. Hope more fans can be installed at the outdoor area. Would return to try the other items on the menu.

Prefer this kind of decor instead of modern decor. Food is nice, but expect to pay more. 4 person meal with drinks, easily over $100. Too bad, can hear very loud metal works drilling, grinding and knocking from neighbour.

The place looks cool. It catered for young working adults. It will be a great place to hang around. Excellent selection of pastry. The salmon Don is average, frankly overrated and overpriced. The flavour from the fish undermined by the bland rice which throws the balance off. The seaweed didn't add the favour but did enhance the appeal visually.

Nice place, good for breakfast. Maybe for dinner is good if you Don't like eating much and pay for it. Good selection of beers. Service very fast. You have to order with the phone, scan a qr for menu and pay with qr. The question is why do the charge for service when you have to do it by yourself?

Foods ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Coffee ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Environmental friendly ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lactose intolerance friendly ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Easy access ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-10min walk from lavender MRT station not very easy to find. You may need google map’s help to get there. Foods are very good. I like the selection of pastries that they have. They don’t serve excessive serviettes, condiments etc. Take what ever you need and don’t waste! I like this way and appreciate all customers follow it well.

Interesting juxtaposition between the exterior decor (in the form of an old hardware store) and modern interior design. Nice ambience to hang out for drinks and desserts if you are in the area.

Nice friendly staffs, wide variety of food choice, food I had was good

Great place to chill. Great selection of coffees and teas. Friendly and polite service crew. Good pastry selection. Have both indoor and outdoor seating. Highly recommended if you wanna chill and enjoy a great cup of coffee.

yumm

Great coffee and breakfast. Further can buy beans directly from their shop too.

别有洞天，铁厂改装成小酒吧的陈设。食物选择不多，味道不错。餐馆内围绕着谈话声，顾客穿梭。。生气勃勃。

Came here to drink coffee and tea and have some ice cream - and dessert during another visit. The ice cream is from Creamier. They served the Pulut Hitam ice cream. The ice cream is served with some sort of buttery cookies underneath - which I do really like. They also serve kueh. The kueh come in bite-size pieces and I had tried the Ang Ku Kueh, Pulut Hitam, as well as Lapis. In my opinion, the kueh is on the drier side - especially the lapis. They also serve banana cake. The banana cake, to me, is good. It is a good in-between dry and moist and has quite a pronounced banana flavor. It is served with what I suspect as coffee butter. As for the drinks, they have quite a variety. I ordered the cascara tea, which is tea from the coffee cherries. It is light and has sour-ish taste to it. I think it will be good to finish your desserts. For the coffee, I had the flat white. You can opt for decaf coffee for an extra dollar, which I did. It was good and I enjoyed it! They also have filter coffee depending on the seasonal coffee that is available. It changes every now and then. For this time round, they are offering the Kenyan and Ethiopian coffees. Other than the seasonal coffees, they also offer the ‘Archive Series’. The coffee in this series are roasted around 2 years back, which is then vacuum sealed and frozen. Despite it being frozen, the ‘taste’ of the coffee still remains and is still enjoyable. There is also a shop attached to the main building which you can purchase coffee beans, drip bags, and the pods.

Great place

Nice place to chill! With many seats too

Excellent coffee and super friendly staff as usual!

Food is good and service excellent. Be prepared to queue if want to dine in.

This is a cool coffee place

Service is consistently average, coffee is overpriced and over-hyped, and bakery treats are mediocre (and stale at 9am). Better options elsewhere.

Delicious unagi tempura wrap. Lovely place for brunch & coffee. The pastries were a bit disappointing, all else fantastic 👍🏻

Typical cafe food, with good ambience. Worth a try

Nice place nice ambiance but the food just falls short, huat burger was a disappoinment, bland, dry, microwave? Correct me if I'm wrong but the burger was only hot in the middle(mostly from being microwave) and the service was not too attentive, table was not set properly. but the saving grace was the coffee, it was amazing

Love the coffee place.. good for breakfast or just some coffee at any time. Very casual vibe, lovely good and great coffees.

That industrial design and those exotic coffees got me!

The cold brew is really good! A bit noisy though

Great coffee and pastries. Nice and chill environment. Very good service as well.

An unassuming cafe for those who know best. Regular latte with extra shot a must. Well balanced. Cakes and pastries selection limited. Will return to try breakfast n lunch items 1 day.

Too expensive, but quite cozy for couple

A hip place for brunch. It can get crowded inside but they have outdoor area as well. Foods there are good but nothing impressive. Nice place to hang out though.

Flat white was ok but the banana chocolate cake was very nice to go with the coffee.

Nice place, good atmosphere. Food and drink was nice too.

Love the coffee and the ambience!

Great coffee and nice selection of beer. Also like the ambience, the courtyard is nice for outdoor seating.

Great coffee, nice food selection and but if can try to seat inside as ambience is better. Slightly pricey though.

Recently they change their menu in end of 2020. I went to try again n food is so so. Coffee still ok. Price is increased n average cost per pax is $25-30 (one main n coffee).

Food was good and friendly staffs too.

A coffeeshop with great coffee and excellent pastries that’s perfect for a mid-afternoon break. Additionally the staff was really friendly and nice. Will Surely visit this place again! Thank you

Finally got to this place after so many years. We were given the option to place order at the cashier or online and I went with online. The experience was really good, I could slowly consider all the items in the menu and not feel Pai seh about holding back the queue. Once I placed my order, paid online with credit card, the coffee came 5-10 min later. I ordered a filter coffee, and it was really good! They also have this section where they display the PPP coffee merchandise, coffee beans, souvenirs. I met a nice and friendly lady barista there who made me samples of filter coffee to taste. Eventually I still went with the Suke Quto which I ordered because I really like the taste note. To avoid crowd, I guess you have to come earlier around 9+ because after we were seated we could see queue forming outside the cafe.

(Translated by Google) It is a good place to relax and chat. The coffee here is worth a drink and the pastries are worth a taste. Before you leave, don't forget to buy a bag of coffee beans to go home, it's really delicious! (Original) 是个让人放轻松聊天的好地方，这里的咖啡值得一喝，糕点值得一尝。离开前，不要忘了买包咖啡豆回家，真的太香太赞了!

This cafe is so hip n cool. Good coffee, snacks, and food. They roast their own coffee and the strong aroma of coffee in the patio area is so delightful.

Went in the early morning so there wasn't any queue. Tables started filling up close to 10AM. Coffee (iced latte and mocha) were good. Almond croissant is the best out of the food ordered. The scones were more on the cupcake side and the banana combo which accompanied it was a bit strange. Muffin was so so. If you're looking into halal friendly dishes, it is close to none. Otherwise, loved the ambience!

Been here a few times. We like their coffee to the extent that we subscribe to their coffee beans. Love the ambiance too, esp. outdoor seatings. Food is not exceptionally excellent but not bad either. But if you want a good Eng big brekkie, Wild Honey or Crown Cafe is much better. Prefer their pastries though but price is a bit on the high side. Btw, tried their muffins for the first time, berries oat & chocolate, not bad!

Tyrwhitt Road is lined with coffee joints, CSHH is my preferred choice to hang out in. Cosy despite it’s industrial setting, delicious cafe food and pastries crafted on local flavours, specialty filtered coffee offerings, beers on tap and most importantly, nitro brew options. Love it here.

Wonderful old shophouse converted to coffee house and cafe. The interior is a mix of modern style with nods to the classic style and historical elements of the building. Outdoor courtyard seating doubles the space to dine in, and the courtyard is wonderful place as it gets dark to finish your day with a coffee as it gets cooler outside. Recommend going for the filter pour over, they offer 3 bean types. I tried the Sumatra Gayo due to the natural wash, and tasting notes of apricot and white grape. It was very light coffee, sightly fruity, with mild acid. I paired it with the blueberry lavender cake - I bit of blueberries on the top of a small moist lavender cake. I would definitely come back to try the other coffee beans. Service is quick, but a bit brusk, you are not sure if they are happy you came or not.

Wah you know the establishment is really something if an elderly passerby actually knows which place you are talking about when asking for directions ! As usual , got a little lost coz lost signal on the phone so cannot even find the location online. Walked by gut feeling and just to make sure , I asked an elderly couple who looked like residents there. Really hit the jackpot and the kind auntie and her oblivious hubby 😂 actually directed me in the right direction . Don't play play ah - cRever auntie woh . Taken aback by the rustic exterior and you need to stand in front of a closed door to wait to be seated. Another patron was also puzzled if it is opened as we stood outside a vintage gate . Suddenly,out popped a server to check us in . When the doors flew open, we are greeted by the quaint interior of the cafe which looks somewhat architectural with the steel metal rods running on one side of the walls. Very chill place :) My order : Ice cream cheese cake with passionfruit and some seasonal fruits @12 smakaroos. It was very good ! While the server says it is quite big and can be shared by two, if you have a good tummy size and high metabolism like me, this is actually just nice for one 👍 and actually looked like a normal cake size. 😆 To me lah. Very good service too 👍

Perfect brunch cafe atmosphere. Friendly and attentive service. Excellent coffee and food.

Cafe in the hardware sanctuary. I suppose they are using PPP coffee as they have a store right beside. Comfy setup for conversations. It was a well afternoon spent. However the ladies requires improvement.

The mentaiko salmon bowl tasted really good! The sauce wasn't too salty and the salmon was fresh. My only gripe is that the serving is a little small, but I guess if it wasn't that small I wouldn't have had room for my dessert (also pictured) :P

The name of this restaurant is very special, hardware store...while they offer very delicious Western- style brunch/lunch/dinner. They are very popular even in the weekdays so need to get there earlier otherwise may join the queue for more than 30 mins The staff here are very friendly and responsive to us, feel very comfortable

Industrial chic cafe, super authentic district, not too far from the centre. Close to Kampong Glam. The coffee is to die for. These guys know their craft. Food is also great, so this the perfect place for a brunch. Many cycling groups stop here after a weekend ride, and their are places to store bikes. Super friendly and efficient staff and service.

I like the rustic cafe. It has both indoor and outdoor seating. Pets are welcome at the alfresco dining area which is a big plus for pets pawrents like me. It feels like dining at the backyard of someone's house. Love the old style ambience. Food is delicious, just a tad expensive. Overall, it's a great place for coffee and chit chat with friends.

Nice place to hang out. Drink the coffee without sugar to enjoy the true taste of each brew. To order, you can order via the QR code menu on the table. If u want to order at the cashier counter, remember your table number. The white cold brew is good and have a mild alcoholic taste. The piccolos is a must-try. Cakes and muffins are average. They serve water (it’s free). One last tip, get 2 cold brew server at $10 instead of $17 usually 3 days before the 1st of each month. Their cold brew stock expires on the 1st day of each month.

aesthetically pleasing setup. the food menu isn’t too extensive, but their coffee menu is pretty good. had the iberico pork chop with cold soba, the lemon sauce made the meal a pretty fulfilling one. coffee is pretty above average compared to other pseudo artisanal coffee places. would come back likely just for the coffee as the mains can be a little on the pricier side (but still somewhat reasonable)

On a day off so finally visited this place. Loved the decor and setup. Food was decent. Had 2 separate brews ; Thippan and Santa Isabel, felt a bit papery taste for the first one but 2nd brew was great, had all the notes. Took home a small bag of Don alfonso to try. Had a great time chatting with Lee in the purveyor shop. One of the more interesting places on my local journey to the various roaster gigs.

Went on a Saturday 2:30pm, the place was crowded and full. Fortunately we found a seat. If you're coming in as a big group, you might have to wait a bit. Dropped by for a quick snack and ordered an Almond Croissant. It was great. Overall, the place is very busy and has a nice interior cafe.

20230901 first time here. $6 for a flat white is acceptable. Taste is standard. Service can be better. I think they are under staff during peak hours. Dining area is an old place and that’s the only selling point. Walk in was due to this reason. You can just walk in have a look without buying anything. Is good enough.

Is unique cafe will full aroma of coffee, desserts & meals as well. It's very relaxing with smelling coffee aroma n having a good meal at same time. Good for all day time visit. Be prepare some queue at weekend brunch time.

A lovely place with positive vibes. They have quite a fair range of brunch spreads, and my friend and I wished that they would bring back gula melaka pancakes. The muesli bowl was yummy, fresh, and filling - suitable for vegetarians and vegans: perfect with peanut butter. The papa's breakfast was rich in flavours, and we enjoyed the long black and filtered coffee. If you are into filtered coffee, check out the Annex. Besides indoor seating, their alfresco seating can be pretty pleasant, too!

It’s not easy to find a place that serves coffee in the middle of the night after you’ve had a long day and just feel like having a cuppa. My husband likes chempedak so we decided to try not expecting much but it was really yummy. Thoroughly enjoyed my piccolo and am thinking when I can come back! (I don’t live nearby but then again not really much of an issue in our well connected country) 🤎 people are super nice too :)

An amazing pour over and what a find!! So far the best cup of coffee I have had in Singapore! The brewista showed amazing skill and care in the brew and even sampled the brew before serving me the final product.

COFFEE : Good! CAKE : Good! PLACE : GOOD!! PRICE : Fair. Found this place by Google Maps and its an authentic place. Perfect!! This place is perfect for working, friend and couple. It has outdoor area for smoking. Many peoples are here. The Cappucino was nice and also the cake. Its perfect while Im reading my new book in the afternoon. Overall, this place was very Nice. Will return here again.

Got a chance to visit this popular coffee shop today and it did not disappoint. The Almond Croissant and the Granola Acai bowl with peanut butter sauce was amazing 🤩🤩 the bakery items and the coffee ☕ was delicious. Highly recommend this place and we will be back soon :)

Its been a while since I last visited this cafe. The menu has changed, it has became healthier and more exquisite compared to the usual brunch-cafes. Price is average, and the food taste was not bad. The place is also pet-friendly in the outdoor seating area.

A very interesting venue for dining as the outer looks like an old shop house and inner is modern design with a nice, round bar counter. Food is tasty, ambience is quiet, just not a lot of seating.

A bit out of the way but place was quaint and cute. Definitely a great place for a date or to catch up with friends with an outdoor and indoor seating though the indoor seating is noisy as all the noise is contained. Food was a bit pricey and tastes like the standard brunch you’ll find outside. Overall nothing spectacular but worth a visit. Coffee took 20 mins to be served though I think they forgot it.

One of the forefathers of cafe culture in Singapore since the early 2010s. I probably drop by once/twice every year or so. There are way too many options out there these days, but it still feels good to return. Amazed at how the place has been well-maintained and has aged gracefully. Food and drinks standards have remained consistent and competitive against the neverending slew of new and trending cafes.

Super crowded over the weekend. Ordered the lychee rise cake and carrot cake. The cakes were too sweet. They taste like they were soaked on syrup. I shall try their mains next time.

Beer Batter Fish and Chips 👍👍 Samsui Chicken Soba 👎 Plain Croissant 👍 Chempadak Crumble Cake (when warm) 👍👍 Ice Latte w Oat Milk 👍👍 Ease of ordering & payment via Table QR. Counter seats are a little uncomfortable due to narrow footrest. Alfresco seats are too warm for lunch, limited interior seats. Noise level is pretty high due to the crowd. Price is pretty steep for portion. Nevetheless, will be back for the fish and chips and coffee when in the vicinity.

Very busy in the morning. Nice coldbrew but their espresso based coffee was a little bit too acidic. Still a must go visit if you are around the area.

Personally because i like my pastry and drinks. We came for our new years high tea and was not disappointed at all. The summer lychee rose was excellent - the texture was just soft enough and the flavours met well. We gobbled down the pastry despite having a full lunch earlier. I enjoyed their ol' fashioned lemon ice tea as well - my partner took a flat white which we both really appreciated. Flat white was fragrant even for a tea lover like myself. But the ice tea is also decent - finally some lemon tea that doesn't taste like syrup or lemonade. The tea stood out for some reason and I would love to find out what kind of tea they used and how they brewed it beforehand. Would come again. There were plenty of available seats as well so there wasn't any waiting required.
