I absolutely loved this place.I sat right by the window and could see the river and people just passing by.The coffee was really really good,although I wasn't too impressed with their breakfast.

One of the earlier entrants to the local gourmet coffee scene, yet still bustling with crowds in the brekkie hour. The coffee is always reliably good and the riverside location is great.

looks even more awesome with a go pro. This regular place of mine, i find loads of stuff to do while waiting. Raken while waiting to try the new breakfast, as well as the light roast on a V60 brew.

Egg bens w/ salmon is decent n coffee is well rounded though the Gibraltar latte could be stronger. Honestly don't find the brunch here very special. Crowded but service is earnest and nice vibe.

Difference between Green Style Eggs (top pic) & Avocado Toast: 2 eggs vs one egg+slice of lime? 😂 Seriously, both are yummy & filling 👍🏻

Aeropress, espresso and cold brew are all excellent. Large, impressive space but a bit messy/grimy. In a public transport desert so mostly patronised by the exceedingly well-off. Service hit and miss.

Definitely go for their 3 ways poached eggs selection. Affordable and very filling. Grab some bag of beans on ur way out 👌🏻🙂

Breakfast tacos. Don't be misled; it's not a light bite. Packed w bacon, scrambled eggs & chilli corn carne, it kept me filled for 4-5 hrs

Sit at bar near the baristas. Ask for a v60 pourover. Barista was very friendly and informative on his brewing technique. Unlike some other tipsters, I found the staff super friendly. Great coffee too

Coffee is so good that I ordered 2nd cup and bought the Rodyk roast beans after. Brunch is also good and they have a big roaster in the house! Worth going back again!

Stronger latte? Try Gibraltar Latte. Served in a smaller glass with double-shot espresso & topped up w/ milk
Jemuel OngJuly 5, 2016
Fancy a cold brew? Their cold brew is made from a single blend of beans and brewed for 12 hours. Really satisfying!

Good service. The pierced cashier this Saturday morning was quick to draw attention to a couple looking for a table outside while she was inside juggling bills and orders exiting the kitchen.

Always my favourite spot for coffee, the beans are rather acidic so latte is good for me. Avoid weekend for the crazy food preparation time, long long wait.
Irina IlinaApril 21, 2017
Good coffee blend, but unusual receipts. Latte in small glass, to less milk. If you like strong coffee, you will like this place. Good enough carrot cake. Brownies wasn't brownies, just brown cake ;)
Gary TanAugust 3, 2015
Great atmosphere, not crowded and the staff here are excellent. Food and flat white was good too!
Eileen LinSeptember 7, 2014
Snickers cheesecake .. Kinda unique if you are fan of snickers and cheesecake .. Love their coffee here :)
shi hoFebruary 23, 2013
Don't bother with the latte type coffees. Ask your coffee master for a hand brew, tell him what notes you like and trust him to brew you a wine glass of good stuff.
Raimo TuiskuSeptember 4, 2017
Outside isn't too bad to sit at, since they have setup a fan outside. Also you get a great view to the river from the patio.
Camy LeongAugust 2, 2015
Bloody Mary has a lot of kick to it. With addition of bacon ;) very spicy very yummy.
Matthew Mark AloysiousMarch 9, 2017
Great place for coffee if you're a coffee lover! Both outdoor and indoor are great place to enjoy the ambience.
Toby PhippsAugust 4, 2012
Very nice espresso but need to skip the sugar to get the full taste as it's very delicate. Staff are fantastic - much better than expected based on previous tips.
Mighty TravelsAugust 30, 2015
Good place to stay caffeinated and do work. Maybe a bit too trendy and not as authentic...
TracyApril 10, 2012
Nice place for a lazy weekend. Coffee is better than Forty Hands, though a little on the thin side. I would have prefer a creamier, more robust blend. Love the long top.
Celestyn WongMay 19, 2013
Toby's has one of the best scrambled eggs on the island. Pair it with smoked salmon or grilled haloumi and you're good to go.

Completely found this place by chance. The environment is fantastic, and the barista's know their shit. Learnt Toby's Estate is an Aussie independent coffee shop with branches across Aussie. Read more

Chilled atmosphere. Granola well assembled with good variety of fruits and excellent soya flat white
mpjanAugust 25, 2015
Nice place. Very big and airy with a view of the river in front. The coffee is pretty decent as well.

Macchiato, espresso with a small amount of milk, tasted sharp here. Better to drink it when served as size is small
Felicia MaloneJuly 16, 2013
Service was great, I like the interior and the food was really good. Poached eggs here are the best. Though it was pretty crowded, and regularly is.

Coffee: Cuppa is goood! Nice locn facing river. Lofty feel, hi ceiling. Agree w earlier comment: bungling logistics fr laidback style of doing things. 2 hangout on lazy days (if u can find seat)
Matt Ta-MinAugust 8, 2015
Excellent coffees, Affogato was great (very generous on the ice cream). Carrot cake was moist.
mpjanSeptember 1, 2015
The long table in the centre is great for spreading out your stuff and getting some work done.
Michael ChanNovember 11, 2013
Tip: Drink their coffee! Absolutely must try scrambled eggs with brioche. Girls here have also raved about their brioche with jam.
XY TFebruary 7, 2015
Great coffee. Brekkie of Champions served with vine-ripened tomatoes, bacon, beans and brioche was satisfying.
Mayou BFebruary 21, 2017
Nice place for breakfast, coffee and beer. Forget the beef burger and take the chicken as the beef patty really does not worth it, it is dry and very small.
ETJuly 20, 2012
Not the best, but certainly one of the better Egg Benedict's around. The mocha here is lovely. Nice ambience. Lovely attendants. I shall return.
Matt Ta-MinAugust 8, 2015
Affogato was great here, coffee was really excellent and a generous serving of icecream!
DesmondOctober 11, 2013
First time here and was happily seated when I was told to move over to the communal table because "the management needs the table". Thanks for the experience Toby's
James KaoNovember 8, 2012
Quite a selection of upscale brewing methods, they have a Clover here as well as a halogen burner for syphon brewing.
Cat ReynoldsFebruary 3, 2017
Great place. Good place to work. service good and reasonable brunch menu .
kiptripApril 28, 2019
Great food and service here but the birds on picking off used utensils outside is quite off-putting.
Valerie WanJanuary 25, 2015
Heard that the coffee was good but mine tasted quite bad -- like it was kept in a plastic container for too long. Salads aren't worth the money at all, go for the eggs Benedict and burgers instead.
Trix MJune 14, 2018
NOT a cappuccino - evidence in pic. Putting a flat white into a cappuccino cup doesn't magically transmute it from a flat white.
arieslow.July 19, 2015
They served great coffee!☕️ A cozy place to chill out🍃
Anne Bartlett-BraggApril 25, 2014
Great coffee, good for breakfast - wifi is rather weak (if you're sitting outside).
Vally AzarSeptember 5, 2015
Awesome ambiance, good coffee, cool interior design, fast wifi.
Timothy NguiOctober 31, 2011
Check out oriole at pan pacific service apartments next to 313 for some Really great coffee. IMHO it's roasted better :)
Gregory ChanAugust 11, 2013
Excellent coffee, people watching by the river and hipster music in the background.
VivienneeluvAugust 10, 2013
Could just get a brioche & scrambled eggs if you want something lighter S$8
