Westies, this one’s for you. The croissants here are properly laminated — shatteringly flaky, with visible honeycomb layers and a buttery interior that doesn’t go gummy.
The kouign-amann is the standout; caramelised and crackly, it sells out by noon. Pair it with their house-blend latte, which is comforting and nutty rather than bright.
The space is bright and roomy — a genuine rarity for the West — making it a great weekend hang. Get there before the brunch rush eats the parking.
Renée’s verdict · 4.0 / 5
A genuinely good laminated-pastry café that saves Westies the trek.
Cafés The Tiong Bahru brunch corner I keep going back to
Fluffy ricotta pancakes, a flat white that actually tastes of coffee, and enough natural light to make your photos do the work for you.
Cafés A tiny matcha café in Katong that’s worth the detour
Ceremonial-grade matcha, a pretty Peranakan-tiled corner, and a soft-serve that converted my matcha-sceptic friend.
Cafés The CBD roastery where I send every coffee snob
In-house roasting, a rotating filter menu and baristas who’ll happily geek out with you. The best espresso in the financial district, full stop.
