Best brunch in Singapore
Brunch in Singapore lives or dies on two things: the coffee and the egg. Roasters maps the cafés in Singapore where both are taken seriously — small kitchens with seasonal menus, baristas dialling in espresso behind the bar, and the kind of room you'd want to spend a Sunday morning in. Roasters currently counts 134 cafés in Singapore, #1 in Singapore.
Booking is sometimes possible, often not. The rule of thumb in Singapore: arrive before 10am on weekdays, before 9am on weekends, or after 1pm when the first wave clears. Roasters lists each café's typical wait times and whether they take reservations.
The best brunch cafés in Singapore share a few traits: a short, focused menu over a 20-item brunch overload; a coffee program that doesn't take a back seat to the food; and a steady flow that doesn't make you queue for 90 minutes. Most are independent — the brunch scene in Singapore skews local, and the standout rooms are the ones where the same crew has been running the bar for years.
