Yarn LamAugust 24, 2015Breakfast plate - toasted fluffy brioche, grilled mushrooms, cherry tomatoes tossed in vinaigrette, and best of all, a heap of creamy buttery scrambled eggs. Best start to your day.
Amelia IsabellaFebruary 17, 2015Prices and food are both great but I think the biggest draw would be the powerpoints around the cafe for you to charge your devices!👍 Students and working adults would love this😊
Kristin M-OMay 9, 2013Yes there are charging zones, near duxton, so people are a good mix of work/cafe/hobbyists. Yes to magazines, and yes to plenty of caffeine with a whiff of chai spices + grub, like cake.
Love the ambiance here. Love how spacious it is.. Walk near the counter and look up! Try their pavlova and the banana cake! Staff are way beyond awesome. Gene is very friendly, I'm a fan of Jill!
Grace AlexandraMarch 30, 2017Banana Cake. Beef Sandwich. Orange Juice. Cafe Latte. Popcorn Chicken. Homemade Yoghurt. Chicken Salad. Oriental Teas.
MDecember 7, 2013food is quite yummy, loved the moist banana cake too. staff were really friendly, a huge plus! cons: food runs out around 4ish during weekends, and go to other places for coffee.
Mag LMarch 16, 2013The banana cake is good! It's slightly moist with traces of peanut butter and banana slices on the top. Sweetness is just nice...
mepi teerakJuly 13, 2014good salmon salad, too light cappuccino!! (taste like milk more than coffee), staffs are friendly, clean unisex toilet ^_^ C+
jackson lohApril 3, 2016Surprise with the food here. The breakfast and the waffle brekkie is quite good.
Had a really crumbly brioche here ^_^ Liked the smoked salmon, scrambled eggs & mushrooms. And they've free wifi!
Time Out SingaporeFebruary 7, 2012Do try their breakfast plate ($15.80) and croissant-and-butter pudding ($6.80), or opt for a delightful roast beef sandwich ($12.80) on thick slices of sundried tomato foccacia! Read more
EddJuly 22, 2015Recommending the beef sandwich with wasabi mustard for Savoury. And the carrot cake for Sweet.
VixMarch 22, 2013Divine banana cake that's nice and light but rich in flavour. The peanut butter drizzle works so well with the cake.
Best eggs in all of Singapore. Combine it with a cappuccino and its a breakfast fit for a king (or queen ; ) )
Can't go wrong with the all-day breakfast platters. Great coffee too.
Minka Monica LiJanuary 9, 2015I like the soy chai iced latte, smoked salmon w/ poached eggs, and toffee dessert
Xinyi SoonNovember 1, 2013Mediocre effortless food. It's like I can buy everything in a supermarket and have it cooked and I serve it on a plate . It's horrible . Scrambled eggs too runny and tasteless
