    Excellent coffee! If you are like me and love avocado 🥑 but can't seem to find the tasty ones, try their abundant 🥑 & poached egg dish, you'll be good for a couple of days!

    From the folks who brought you Ronin and The Plain; try the drumlets, the fish & chips and the off menu desserts. Just 5 days old but steady showing so much potential. The coffee is also exemplary.

    Love the Brownie with salted caramel buttercream which bites like a big, chewy cookie! Earl grey pancakes are flavourful, though a tad more sauce would be perfect. The chai latte though was too milky.

    Vincent makes the best piccolo latte in Singapore, hands down. Exceptional service but the menu is consistently over-designed and insubstantial. Pop to Ronin two streets down for 'proper' food.

    The evening menu, even better than morning!The courteous staff is priceless! 👏I advice to try the BlackMassles-$18! But anyway everything was delicious. 😋Average bill for 2-$80

    Sister to Ronin on HK Street. The Espresso Tonic using the 3-bean blend is my fave cold drink. Love these guys. Service at both places is great. Definitely a stand out in SG.

    Love this place! We went there times in two days. Must haves. Avocado and poached eggs, chocolate salted cookie, weekend eggs and the shrimp & scallop pasta (weekdays only). Great attentive staff.

    My fav was the cheese toasties and tomato soup. But everything else we ordered were yum too (earl grey pancakes and mushroom and egg toast). Also, very good strong coffee! Would go back.

    The Earl Grey tea pancake is not only Instagramable, but decadently yummy. Lots to take in for a chocoholic

    This sister restaurant to Ronin features much better coffee, single origin pourover coffee, and some pretty good breakfast/brunch dishes.

    Open kitchen concept. Expect to leave smelling like all kinds of fried food. But having said that, the food was delish. My favourites being the mussels and fried chicken.

    Great food, more than just eggs for brunch which I appreciate. But the service is horrendous. I asked for my cold brew four times before they brought it out and we had finished our meal already.

    Good coffee and good breakfast but since they have an open kitchen you’ll leave with a strong frying smell in your clothes

    Fantastic attentive and friendly staff. The Reuben sandwich was excellent. Double shot iced coffees were spot on.

    Pretty much everything is fabulous. Avocado and poached eggs, excellent coffee roasted on site. Oh and the donuts.

    Try the Espresso Tonic, something you won't find in the coffee menu of Ronin next street.

    Space is nice but the espresso butter cream sandwich is not. Way too sweet. U don't get a menu here to be prepared to listen carefully to the staff. The barista also don't know how to make a cortado.

    Good coffee but watch out for their silly afternoon closures that leave you seated at the back, on a concrete bench.

    Croque Madame here is a simple snack. Clean basic flavours. For $11, I wouldn't order it again though

    Average meals. Prefer their other outlet called Ronin on Hong kong street(just behind north canal road) although it’s simple menus but it’s tastier.

    They may consider the cookie sandwich signature but unfortunately the espresso butter cream is weak and chocolate cookie overly sweet and one dimensional.
