[CLOSED] One Man Coffee (myVillage)

Nestled in the basement of MyVillage, simple place for good coffee

With the reviews i'm doing, it's hard for flaws not to be amplified in my mind nor to be nit-picky about things 😓 Seeing their raving reviews online vs what i think, @onemancoffee has seriously confused me. It's unfair to be as critical, given that this was an @ubereats_sg delivery, but i didn't enjoy the food.

Rating: 6.5/10

Will i return/recommend: No/No

Pros: French toast was a brioche which was quite good (but as a brioche lover, not good enough). Strong truffle oil taste in cream cheese croissant.

Cons: Affordable but doesn't mean it's value-for-money. Simple ingredients, done in a very average way. Expected a better croissant - it was thick & not flaky. Sweet potato fries were... 😒👎 For $13, french toast seems overpriced. Everything apart from the breads tasted inferior & processed. I get it… it's a cafe. But way better options out there.

Price: S$27 - Ham & truffle cream cheese croissant, French toast w berries & mascarpone, @ubereats_sg delivery

Nice quiet place to read esp. In the afternoon/evenings. Few seats so come early if you want one. Decent cafe and piccolo lattes. Pleasant complex after taste

Eastsiders, there's no need to travel all the way to Upper Thomson for One Man Coffee's dependable, affordable brunch that never disappoints. This second outlet is conveniently located at MyVillage, and like its Thomson outlet, is also within Crust Gourmet Pizza Bar. Seats are limited, so come early to snag a spot if you're coming for a meal. This makes for a great coffee pit stop too — a Piccolo ($4) with an extra shot ($1) for an instant boost. We're happy to share that the standards are consistent, so you can be assured that their signature Gashouse Egg with Bacon Jam ($10) will be just as impressive here. This simple breakfast dish of thick brioche with a runny egg in the middle is blanketed with melted cheese and served with a side of salty-sweet bacon jam. The Big Brekkie ($15) is also excellent — two poached eggs placed on sourdough rye, served with a side of superbly candied bacon, roasted cherry tomatoes, button mushrooms and baby spinach. End your meal on a sweet note with the Brioche French Toast ($10), probably one of the most pocket-friendly in Singapore. According to Burppler Jocelyn Wong, the Caramelised Bananas and Salted Caramel version with its glorious salted caramel sauce is "worth every single bit of my calories"!

Avg price: $20 per person

This dish is almost always consistently good, I highly recommend it if you don't know what to get!! You can't go very far wrong with egg-in-a-hole smothered in a thick layer of cheese! The bread is very fluffy and the egg is flowy. And the bacon jam goes great with the cheesy eggy bread!!

They ran out of the bun for the burger, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise because they replaced it with a croissant, and it was pretty good! Enjoyed the wasabi mayo, which went quite well with the mushroom. $12 is quite affordable for cafe food, but note that it's just 1 medium sized portobello mushroom.
