Ganna KimlachMay 3, 2018I guess it was the most tasty place in whole Singapore!! Beef was melting in the mouth, buckwheat pancakes are also super nice dish to try! MUST TRY scrambled eggs!! Don’t miss it!
mo pleasureFebruary 19, 2016lovely pulled pork grain bowl, albeit slightly dry. the pumpkin & pearly barley/quinoa mix were yum. coffee slightly bitter but truffle fries were well done. nice ambience & attentive service.
Anh HanNovember 1, 2015Really good food. Grain bowls and fried chicken are great. Good service. Get here before the hipster kids take it over
Pulled pork grain bowl was flavorful and moist; delish! Thumbs up too for the yummy sticky date pudding that came with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. I cannot wait to eat here again!- Ab TSeptember 27, 2016Truffle beef bowl done right 😋 not sure why they always seem to be short on the menus and utensils haha. But a lovely cafe to have a meal with friends.
- Ian ThomtoriJuly 21, 2016Tried the buckwheat pancake n it's defo delicious! Loved the touch of flowers amidst the sweet n savoury blend! #ThomtoriEats
EvangelineMay 7, 2019Had the simple coffee and pastry set .. the coffee was great and the butter croissant was flaky and nice. Will be back to try their other food.
LiuJanuary 28, 2018Seafood linguine was nice! Truffle fries okay as I prefer a thicker cut. Vanilla and elderflower ice cream waffle tasted interesting 🧐 cuz the colour did not match my visual expectation XD
Naveeshini NairNovember 27, 2016Buckwheat pancakes and fried chicken.Really nice ambiance and good customer service.Only downside is the 1.5 hour seating limit during the weekends.
TingDecember 5, 2015Just had desserts here. Pretty looking sundaes and a decent key lime pie. Magic ($5) was average. Will be back to try the food.
Cassie UttNovember 6, 2015Lovely interior design! They didn't take credit card which is a bit frustrating for travelers.. I managed to have exactly 6.50 for my iced latte.
- safia rMay 26, 2017Great vibe, but a bit odd to have to order at the counter considering the setting. I had the Wagyu beef grain blow - very nice. They have nice coffee too.
Nat MMarch 24, 2018Lamb grain bowl was very satisfying as was the All-Day Brekkie. Oh and don't underestimate the Avocado Superfood Toast. Yummy if you like your greensssss.
Taz (✿╹◡╹)September 1, 2020Hipster place. Nice but seriously overpriced food. Ice cream with waffle is also thought for Instagram. 1st thing staff tells you is that you have to clear your table and pay as soon as you finish🤔🤣
EddFebruary 8, 2020The worst thing about populus is its relentless popularity. U bet the food’s awesome but it’s painfully packed (tables literally a palm from each other), noisy, chaotic - this is brunch in a war zone
Crazy weekend crowd and good luck to you if you end up next to a noisy group that never leaves. Pork chop was rather decent with the tangy salsa and not too overpowering coriander sauce.
Thomas BoiteauNovember 21, 2015Great capuccino ! And innovative fruits salads with crunchy flakes and floral notes 👍🏻
PovegeMarch 27, 2016Sticky date pudding is win. Superfood vege platter had too much vinegar but toast was nice and crispy. Beef burger was too bland. Cafe latte has a sour edge.
Ronald SuwandiFebruary 28, 2016Fried chicken is great. Highly recommend it. Coffee is good but not exceptional. Atlas/Assembly has better coffee- Iced water is available; just grab an amber glass tumbler from the stack next to the cash register.
- Kars AlfrinkJuly 6, 2016Solid filter coffee but this place seems to be more about the food. Insanely swanky interior. A bit too clinical for my tastes.
Gibraltar coffee and Spring Pancake Fried chicken is a must !!
- Yi HoMay 23, 2016Tasty grain bowls, parpadelle pasta is filling (not too meaty, and burger is surprisingly good!
- Competent service. Wait staff knows which table requested dessert or coffee to be served after and will ask if it should be served as they clear the plates.
Tasty coffee, but no proper cups for coffee to go, so drink inside.- Thomas BoiteauDecember 21, 201545min waiting time after ordering for 1person-1dish-nodrink on a monday lunch time... Too long for lunch time in a place that ask you to pay as you order!
Lionel LimMay 7, 2017Great coffee. Prices are subject to GST. No service charge. Free wi-fi but it could do with an upgrade. It was agonisingly slow.
