Cafes

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!

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.

Starting off with the signature baos, we really enjoyed the Chilli Crab Bao. Mixed with the chilli crab chunks, the chilli crab sauce was done really well, and the mantou was perfectly deep fried. The Salted Egg Chicken Bao was served with a steamed bun instead and wasn’t nearly as impressive. The downside was that the portions were quite tiny. We were pleasantly surprised that aside from the baos, the Salmon Mentaiko Roll & Teriyaka Beef Steak Rice Bowl were pretty tasty. On the side note, I loved the minimalist interiors! Overall, the quality of the food was decent but prices are steep. If anything, I would return for the baos.

I’ve heard rather good reviews of this place that took over the space previously occupied by woodlands sourdough. I went with the House Ricotta Tartine ($12) even though I must admit I am not a huge fan of tomatoes. They served a generous amount of ricotta and tomatoes on the toast and everything went really well together. My friend got the Grilled Cheese toast ($12) and we loved the melted cheese. I was never a fan of alfresco seating in SG (the weather!!) but it was surprisingly cooling here. Overall, a nice place for brunch albeit the prices being a tad steep.

We were rather excited to check this cafe out coz we heard some good reviews, and we also loved its sister cafes. Although the location’s rather out of the way, the cafe was way crowded on a weekday afternoon, and it’ll be hard to get in without a reservation. We got the highly raved pear & pork tartine, which (almost) lived up to its hype. The breakfast burger was good but not fantastic. Of course, we had to order the coffee & we loved it!! I would definitely return for the coffee, and to try the other items on the menu as well.

Been hearing quite a bit about this place so we came to try their food on a weekend. The shakshuka eggs were decent but nothing spectacular, and the bread was rather disappointing. The candied bacon & pancake was interesting, however we agreed that the pancake could be fluffier. Overall, quaint little place made worth by the 1-for-1, would return if I’m in the area to try the other items.

Its been years since I’ve been here but this place doesn’t disappoint. We both went for the crowd favourite gashouse eggs! The melted cheese & runny egg went so well together with the toast. Loved the chill vibes as well. No regrets travelling here even though it was slightly out of the way.

An amazingly wide selection of cakes here!! Spent so long choosing a cake to eat. Finally decided on this - filled with salted caramel buttercream and topped with pistachio :-)

Beautiful location 😌 unfortunately, we couldn’t use burpple beyond on the breakfast which I was looking forward to. Went for the Ju’s prawn pasta which did not disappoint! However, the fried chicken waffles were a disappointment - both chicken and waffle were not crispy!

It’s been awhile since I’ve been here so I was worried if the food were still up to standard, but this place doesn’t disappoint! This is evident by the sizeable crowd even at 2pm. Would recommend the Ultimate Croissant and Paprika Wings.

Was relatively empty on a Friday night but we gave this a shot anyway. The beef brisket rice bowl was quite interesting and worth a try. The duck noodles however, was too salty and we didn’t enjoy it.
