Great coffee, great staff but is quite noisy no matter what time of day you're there. If the loud talking hipsters don't get you, the music will. Tasty sandwiches & hot chocolate is DA BOMB. Do try!
Ryan YungMay 19, 2015So simple but what they do they do excellently. Latte and dazzling eggs were very good. Service was excellent as well.. If I lived closer I'd be here all the time.
JaneOctober 27, 2015Great skinny latte for $4.20. Friendly service. Order the Dean's breakfast (half if you want a smaller portion). Pay when you leave by telling the cashier what you ordered (like an honor system).
Global HighlanderJanuary 16, 2016Coffee is espresso drinks only (very dark-roasted, not their best feature). The food, which was heavily Australian-focused, was very good. The weekender eggs and muesli were great.
These guys just get it. Consistently great service, great coffee, great sandwiches. They don't over-reach with their tiny kitchen. Wonderfully restrained and well executed.
RinnapatDecember 12, 2014Cheaper brunch venue compared to other places. Limited menu: eggs and sandwiches. Menu is mounted on the wall. Coffee is pretty good. If you like, they have a Vegemite sandwich.
Madeline WiderbergApril 19, 2013Top breakfast place! Bircher muesli is the tastiest, healthiest take on muesli I've ever had, maybe order a small bowl of this along with your hot breakfast if you have an appetite.
Excellent coffee. I always get the dean's breakfast cause I'm a fan of Vegemite. They have soy milk and make a mean cappuccino. Friendly young staff.
TingDecember 9, 2015Enjoyed their piccolo add extra shot ($4.20). Find their flat white even with extra shot too weak for me.
Regina BautistaApril 10, 2014One complaint-- this place could seriously use some better design. Ex: The menu is on the wall so you need to make up your mind while blocking the way and eavesdropping of the nearby table.
Jermaine LeeJuly 2, 2013Clearly the best coffee in town! Had Mocha and ciabatta salami sandwich! Best value for quality and tea time break so far! WILL be coming back soon!
They could possibly consider providing wifi here? The reception dwindled to GPRS when seated at the communal table in the main area. Good coffee & food as always though
S. C.August 27, 2015Definitely a little gem in the neighbourhood. Sandwiches with ciabatta bread is always a good idea. I'm quite a regular. Friendly staffs :)
DanMay 12, 2015Australian-styled cafe that pulls a good coffee. Some good quick breakfast options including vegemite toast with poached egg. Opens early.
Konstantin HaaseJune 21, 2016Had a great flat white. Breakfast is as minimalistic as the interior design (eggs on bread are exactly that), but good.- Regina BautistaApril 10, 2014The food here is pretty delicious and reasonably priced. The servings are generous too, so I recommend this place. But gotta say. It's not very friendly.
Martina MaitanMay 13, 2014the environment is noisy and the waiter forgot our order twice. I had a sandwich ciabatta (10$) and a bowl of fresh fruits with yogurt (8,50$): well made and satisfying portions.
Elliot WinklerMarch 11, 2016I think the people that work there are cool, and it's a nice casual atmosphere. Food is a little expensive, but that's Singapore for ya. Also no wifi.
Nick LongstaffMarch 14, 2011Try the Darling Toasty...amazing fresh quality and to-die-for taste. The beef pastrami is also a delight to the tastebuds. when finished, order one of the special chocolate drinks. Heaven!
Mag TYAugust 30, 2015Tried the Humpty Dumpty - Aussie twist to half boiled egg and toast coated with vegemite
Robin HwangJuly 15, 2016As the name suggests, this cafe is plain, no fuss, cafeteria-like non-descript, but their toastie was pretty good. Add a side of avocado.
Bircher muesli for health junkies! Fills you up fast, so a small serving would probably be sufficient alongside an awesome cup of coffee.
Shirley W LAugust 23, 2012Really good cappuccino & ice coffee. Great for coffee, not so great for chatting! Gets pretty noisy even when it's not so crowded.
Elizabeth KohDecember 21, 2013Darling eggs is good but on the small size. Has increased price to 7.50. Cappuccino is the kind that leaves you wanting more.
Wex WooApril 9, 2011Apart from the coffee trips you're gonna be experiencing, you'll be back here if you're someone who stands for awesome service. Was here during weekend brunch hour, and was offered an extra side by a
Tucked quietly away. Walk into what feels like a cafe from Melbourne bustling with people reading designer magazines. Be greeted with a contemporary meets modern interior.
AlienempireJuly 13, 2013The pastrami is awesome! Not easy to spot and it's pretty noisy inside, but the food's and the iced coffee is great!- Great coffee, friendly service, good food. A well executed cafe. It's worth the walk from Tanjong Pagar.
Love the friendly staff. They remembered my order after a couple times of popping in. Gotta try the genera!!! :D
Aditi AmaleanJanuary 28, 2016Lovely people who remember your 'usual'... extremely helpful when you haven't yet had your morning coffee and are still waking up!
Andrea MonniNovember 5, 2014One of the best Espresso in Singapore. Haven't tried the food yet but the sandwiches look good.
Kristina LiuJanuary 13, 2016Casual coffee place with a simple but good brunch menu at reasonable prices and very good coffee
VivienneeluvJune 30, 2013Darling's eggs S$6.50 (half serve): poached eggs with ham & cheese, Roma tomatoes on sourdough.
Nice place to chill. Remember to order extra soldiers w the Humpty Dumpty. Oh and if they have the lemon lime tart available - get it! It's good!
Rachel LimOctober 6, 2014Gennera is good - mocha with a hint of orange scent. Dean's and weekender breakfast are mediocre. Wud probably be back only for the coffee.
Sutlej SJanuary 19, 2015Been here a few times. I only come back for the coffee. It's one of my favs in Singapore. Food wise is sub par. Ingredients esp the egg can be better. Orange juice is freshly squeezed albeit not cold.
Paul TuddenhamSeptember 7, 2014Nice indoor space. The breakfast set was simple and less than imaginative, but still did the job.
Lisa NApril 24, 2014Went two mornings in a row and great service both times. Yummy coffee, loved Darling Eggs too.
Мария ИвановаFebruary 21, 2014The Best breakfast ever. Cappuccino, cakes, oats muesli and poached eggs are perfect!
I get the Darlings Eggs. I get even better service. The front of the house staff are so personable and dynamic. I want to hire them all!
The inventive all-day breakfast menu is only the icing on the cake of this newly opened, much-needed CBD café.
Sunny BeeOctober 22, 2013Park at Craig Place Public CarPark. Cafe is just across the street from the ground level life lobby.
Shibashish RoyDecember 13, 2013Amazing ambience, feels like the town square. The hospitality is out of the world!
The Humpty Dumpty is a must have for brekkie! No one does it better than The Plain!
AndyOctober 22, 2014Not a coffee drinker so just had the Darling's Eggs on sourdough toast. Nothing to rave about but good service.
