We ordered the Five Oars Benny ($18) and Classic French Toast ($18) to have both sweet and savoury options to share. I really enjoyed the classic french toast which came with 2 thick brioche, mixed berries and a side of ice cream - would recommend for those with a sweet tooth! The Five Oars Benny was a tad disappointing - the poached eggs were overdone and weren’t runny enough, and the overall dish was rather dry. I would say I’ve had better eggs ben elsewhere! However, I did enjoy the ice lattes - the coffee here is more on the acidic side though!
The steak ($21) was tender and we both felt that it was well worth it’s price! Definitely one of the most value-for-money steak options around. The steak was coated with a buttery sauce and smoked salt which gave the meat a special flavour. We also ordered a gyu don ($14) and added on a generous slab of foie gras ($11) which we enjoyed as well. Great service & nice ambience. We would recommend this to those who are looking for steak that’s affordable yet doesn’t compromise on the quality.
I always look forward to heading back to Lola’s cafe as the food is consistently good. We were really pleased as this time it was no different! The croissant was buttery and flaky and goes superbly with the scrambled eggs & ham. The truffle fries & honey paprika wings are a few of my favourite sides. Got an iced latte as well, their coffee is decent but not the best :-)
I’ve been pretty impressed with all their other branches - Atlas Coffeehouse, Apollo Coffee bar & Lunar Coffee Brewers. This was the only cafe I’ve yet to try and I was really excited bcoz I heard really good reviews of their food. We thoroughly enjoyed the shimeji mushrooms on toasted sourdough, and the scrambled eggs ($19) we added on the side was perfectly creamy! We also ordered another brunch staple, the Smoked Salmon Benny ($19), which was great too. Of course we couldn’t leave here without having their coffee (the coffee at their other branches are consistently good!). We got the Iced Hazelnut Latte with ice-cream ($8) and my only gripe was that it was a bit too sweet. Overall, fantastic food and drinks just like their other branches & I would definitely return again :-)
We were in the area and got really baited by the cakes on display! The pistachio lemon cake was moist & went so well with the lemon topping. I would love to return again to try the coffee & food.
Looking at this photo makes me wanna head right back to this place. I dare say this is is amongst the best char siew & roast meat in SG. It’s an unassuming little store nestled in a coffee shop, but the queue quickly grew long while we were there. This plate of assorted meat (we swapped out the roast duck for more char siew) was $17. It was every bit worth it & the fats were melt-in-your-mouth amazing. I’m already looking forward to coming back here again!
I really loved this and would return if I’m in the area. The coffee ice cream complemented the hot flowy lava so well, and the cookie was perfectly crumbly!
We were pretty satisfied with our chirashi dons as they gave generous servings of fresh sashimi. The soft shell crab maki was amazing with the mentaiko blowtorched to perfection. Staff was very attentive as well. Would return again!

We were pleasantly surprised with this place!! They had so many interesting flavours I had such a hard time deciding. We went with the rhubarb buttermilk & burnt white chocolate first. Turns out I didn’t like the rhubarb buttermilk that much but that’s my personal preference - it’s a slightly more acidic strawberry taste. Loved the burnt white chocolate. Decided to get another cup of pistachio before we left and it didn’t disappoint as well. Would return again definitely :-)
There’s no lack of pizza places in Holland Village so we were interested to see how this would fare. We ordered the Parma pizza, Arrabiata pasta & truffle fries. The pasta was average with the penne being a tad overcooked. We were rather disappointed in the truffle fries as there hardly any truffle taste! Perhaps the only dish we rather enjoyed was the Parma pizza.
They had 4 flavours when we came by, and we decided to go with the Earl Grey and Unicorn Tears. They also add on most toppings for free. There’s an option to add $1 for a cone but we opted for a cup instead. The soft serves were smooth and I rather enjoyed the earl grey. We were told the unicorn tears (in blue) was supposed to be cookies & cream but honestly didn’t really taste like it. They also make your teeth really blue. Overall, would return for a quick soft serve fix if I’m in the area.
