8 Best Brunch Spots in Singapore (2026) — From Wild Honey All-Day Breakfast to PS.Cafe Iconic Sundays

Singapore's brunch culture spans Aussie-style all-day cafes, Tiong Bahru patisseries, and Dempsey-tier weekend destinations. We rounded up 8 brunch spots that consistently deliver: Wild Honey (Mandarin Gallery), Common Man Coffee Roasters (Martin Rd), PS.Cafe (Harding Road Dempsey + Palais Renaissance), Tiong Bahru Bakery (Eng Hoon St), Carrotsticks & Cravings (Robertson Quay), Sarnies (Telok Ayer), Symmetry (Jln Kubor), and Atlas Coffeehouse (Bukit Timah). Price spread S$12-$36/pax, though only two of the eight quote prices you actually pay — most are before 10% service charge and GST. Best for: weekend family brunch, work-from-cafe productive mornings, dating without dinner-rate commitment.

Singapore's brunch map moved this month: PS.Cafe shut its Dempsey flagship for renovation on 23 August, Sarnies quietly collapsed its week into one set of hours, and Symmetry took the French toast it was famous for off the menu.

> Quick view: cheapest is Tiong Bahru Bakery at roughly S$12-22 all-in; the mid-tier cafes sit at S$14-30 before service charge and GST, and Symmetry tops the list at S$27-36++. Five of the eight take no online booking at all. Every price below was read off the venue's own menu in August 2026.

Wild

Wild Honey — Mandarin Gallery (~S$24-32++)

Address: 333A Orchard Road #03-01/02, Mandarin Gallery. HOURS: Sun-Thu 9am-9.30pm (last order 8.30pm); Fri, Sat + eve of PH 9am-10.30pm (last order 9.30pm). NOTE: Mandarin Gallery is now the only Wild Honey outlet — the South Beach branch closed in 2022 and Scotts Square is no longer listed on Wild Honey's own site or booking pages, so don't turn up at Scotts Road. The SG all-day-breakfast institution since 2009 — runs an internationally-themed breakfast menu (Mexican, English, Tunisian, Norwegian, Turkish, Japanese and more) all day every day. SIGNATURE: the English (the full works — poached, fried or scrambled eggs, streaky bacon, pork and fennel sausage, turkey croquette, breakfast potatoes, sauteed mushrooms, grilled tomato, bacon jam, signature brioche) at S$30 and the Tunisian (spicy shakshouka with chorizo, eggs, signature brioche and chopped salad) at S$26. PRICE REALITY: the current menu runs S$20 (the Gallic scrambled eggs) to S$48 (the 250g Classic Steak Frites), with most breakfasts S$24-32 — and every price is BEFORE 10% service charge and GST, so a S$30 plate bills at about S$36. Cheapest way in is the cereals-and-breads column: Swiss bircher S$16, Berkeley house granola S$22. Coffee S$5.50-8. CASHLESS: cards and e-wallets only, no cash. COFFEE: roasted by Common Man Coffee Roasters — the same beans as the specialty-coffee anchor at No.2 on this list, which is the quiet reason the flat whites here beat the usual all-day-breakfast standard. HAPPY HOUR: cocktails and aperitifs S$12++ daily 4-7pm, and Wild Honey Free Flow is S$60++ per person for 90 minutes, available all day every day. BOOKING: through Wild Honey's own SevenRooms link on wildhoney.com.sg — not Chope. Parties of 5 or fewer must book and cancel online; 6 and above go by phone (6235 3900) or email only. Walk-in friendly on weekdays; the weekend 10am-1pm window wants 3-5 days' notice. CROWD: well-heeled Orchard shoppers + tourists; comfortable for solo, 2-pax, or family-of-4 + grandparents.

Common

Common Man Coffee Roasters — Martin Road (~S$18-36++)

Address: 22 Martin Road #01-00, S239058 (Robertson Quay area). HOURS: daily 7.30am-6pm — it is a breakfast-and-brunch cafe, not a dinner venue, so plan a morning or early-afternoon visit. There are now six outlets: Martin Road (the 2013 flagship, daily 7.30am-6pm), Stanley Street (daily 7.30am-6pm), Joo Chiat Road (Mon to 5pm, Tue-Sun 7.30am-9.30pm), Alexandra Road (Mon-Tue to 5pm, Wed-Sun 7.30am-10pm), Quayside Isle Sentosa (Mon-Tue to 5pm, Wed-Sun 8am-10pm), and a CMCR On The Go kiosk at ION Orchard B3 (daily 9.30am-9.30pm) — Joo Chiat, Alexandra and Sentosa are the only ones running into the evening if you want a later sitting, and only from midweek onwards. Founded by an Australian-trained roasting team in 2013 — Singapore's most quoted specialty coffee + brunch combo, with house-roasted beans served across the menu (lattes, flat whites, filter slow brews, cold brew). MENU (the Dec 2025 day menu, breakfast served 7.30am-4pm): Crunchy Granola S$18, Energy Bowl S$20, Croissant Croque Monsieur S$19, Mixed Berry French Toast S$23, Umami Mushroom Avocado Toast S$25, Breakfast Pancakes S$26, Ox Cheek Eggs Benedict S$28, Turkish Common Man Breakfast S$29, Common Man Full Breakfast S$30, Ribeye Steak & Eggs S$36. Salads, pastas and sandwiches come on from 10am-12pm (S$22-29). Coffee is S$6 for a regular black, S$6.50 white, S$8.50 filter. IMPORTANT: every price on that menu is BEFORE service charge and taxes, so budget about 19% on top — the S$30 full breakfast bills at roughly S$36, and a full breakfast with a flat white lands near S$44. CASHLESS: cards and e-wallets only, and a maximum of two cards per bill. SIGNATURE: the Coffee Roastery experience — open roaster visible in the cafe, you can buy 250g bags of fresh-roasted beans to take home. BOOKING: NOT POSSIBLE at Martin Road — CMCR's reservations page takes bookings at Alexandra, Joo Chiat and Sentosa only, and Martin Road, Stanley Street and the ION kiosk are walk-ins only. That page now lists Alexandra AND Sentosa for lunch and dinner and Joo Chiat for dinner only, while the Sentosa outlet page still says bookings start at 5.30pm — so call the Sentosa outlet before counting on a lunch table there. Alexandra takes reservations from 11.30am and is the safest CMCR brunch booking. At Martin Road, arrive at 7.30am opening or after 2pm to skip the 10am-1pm weekend queue; weekday mornings (9am-11am) rarely need a wait. CROWD: digital nomads + designers + the Robertson Quay residential crowd. VIBE: more industrial-cafe than romantic; great for productive solo work-from-cafe sessions or 2-pax conversations.

PS.Cafe

PS.Cafe — Park Side / Palais Renaissance / Harding Road, Dempsey (brunch ~S$14-30++)

CLOSED FOR RENOVATION — READ THIS FIRST: PS.Cafe's own Harding Road page states the outlet is CLOSED FOR RENOVATIONS FROM 23 AUGUST 2026 until further notice, with no reopening date published. That is the Dempsey flagship this entry (and most 'best brunch' lists) is built around, so until it reopens, book Park Side, Palais Renaissance, Great World or East Coast Park instead. PS.Cafe is the SG cafe institution — founded in 1999 by Peter & Susan Teo. CURRENT SG OUTLETS (10, per PS.Cafe's own site): Harding Road — the forest-setting bungalow at Dempsey Hill, 28B Harding Road, which is the flagship people mean when they say 'PS.Cafe Dempsey'; Park Side by PS.Cafe at the Singapore Botanic Gardens Nassim Gate visitor centre, 1 Cluny Road (the 2026 opening, and the easiest one to pair with a Gardens morning); Palais Renaissance (Orchard); Paragon; Raffles City; One Fullerton; Marina Bay Sands; Jewel Changi Airport; Great World; and East Coast Park. CLOSED: the KATONG outlet served its final day on 15 March 2026 — PS.Cafe points Katong regulars to East Coast Park, a short drive away. Ann Siang Hill and Petit Provence are also long gone from PS.Cafe's list. Third-party directories still carry stale pages for all three, so book through pscafe.com rather than a listing site. PRICING, FROM THE CURRENT MENUS: the brunch card is cheaper than its reputation — Egg Bunwich and Kaya & Eggs S$14, Berries & Chia Granola Bowl S$16, Black Sesame Avocado Toast S$18, 'Burnt' Shakshuka S$20, Smoked Brisket Bunwich S$22, Pancake Stack and Chicken & Egg S$24, Crab Eggs Royale S$26, Cow & Egg S$27, PS. Full Breakfast S$30. Brunch runs weekdays 8-11am and weekends and public holidays 8am-4pm; the all-day menu takes over from 11am and is where the money goes — mains S$29-52, pastas S$27-32, PS. Truffle Fries S$18 full or S$12 half. Coffee S$6-7.50, cakes S$14-18. ALL PS.Cafe prices exclude GST and service charge, so add about 19%. STANDING DEAL most guides miss: 1-for-1 Aperol Spritz on weekdays until 8pm and 1-for-1 Mimosa on weekends until 4pm, printed on the all-day menu itself — no card or code needed. SIGNATURE: the Truffle Shoestring Fries, the PS. Full Breakfast, the Crab Eggs Royale. Best brunch outlet by vibe: HARDING ROAD (DEMPSEY) for the forest-bungalow weekend brunch + parking on site + dog-friendly terrace — when it reopens; it runs Sun-Thu 8am-10pm and Fri-Sat 8am-10.30pm normally. PARK SIDE for brunch inside the Botanic Gardens — open daily 8am-9pm (last order 8pm), walk-ins only, and it runs its own cheaper menu: brunch S$22-28 served till 4pm, big plates S$24-28, pizzas S$24-26, kids' plates S$10-14, GST only with no service charge. PALAIS for the mid-shopping-trip Orchard lunch. EAST COAST PARK for a post-cycle breakfast. BOOKING: through CHOPE, not a PS.Cafe system — each outlet page carries its own Chope link, and pscafe.com/reservations currently redirects to Park Side's separate site, so start from the outlet page you actually want. Harding Road weekend brunch books 14-21 days ahead when it is open; the mall outlets (Paragon, Raffles City, Great World) are meaningfully easier. PARK SIDE TAKES NO BOOKINGS AT ALL — its own FAQ says walk-ins only, first come first served, which is the opposite of what most 2026 guides tell you. Weekday lunches are walk-in friendly at most outlets. CROWD: trendy SG locals + expat families + tourists in equal measure.

Tiong

Tiong Bahru Bakery — Tiong Bahru (~S$12-22 all-in)

Address: 56 Eng Hoon Street #01-70 (Mon-Fri 7.30am-8pm, Sat-Sun 8am-8pm), plus 17 other locations on Tiong Bahru Bakery's own list: Wisma Atria (two units, B1 and Level 3), Plaza Singapura, Centrepoint, TANGS at Tang Plaza, Cluny Court, Chip Bee Gardens, Raffles City, TBB Crumb & Go (55 Tiong Bahru Rd), Foothills at Fort Canning (70 River Valley Road), VivoCity, The Woodleigh Mall, Serangoon Gardens, Tampines 1, Siglap, Joo Chiat and JEM. Eight outlets now run to 10pm — Wisma Atria (both units, 8.30am-10pm), Plaza Singapura, Centrepoint, VivoCity, Tampines 1 and JEM (8am-10pm daily), plus Raffles City, which opens earliest of the late ones at 7.30am on weekdays and also closes at 10pm. Useful if you want pastries after a Sunday film. Centrepoint and Raffles City serve hot food only 8am-4pm. TBB Crumb & Go at 55 Tiong Bahru Road is the odd one out at 11am-5pm daily. The flagship at Tiong Bahru sits in SG's most photographed heritage HDB neighbourhood. French patisserie + casual brunch — known SG-wide for the croissants (commonly called the best in SG) at S$4.20 and the Kouign Amann at S$5.80. WHAT THE FOOD MENU ACTUALLY IS: this is a bakery counter, not an eggs-benedict brunch kitchen — there is no benedict, no avocado toast and no French toast on TBB's own menu. The savoury range is Croque Monsieur S$12, Quiche Lorraine S$11.50, Tuna Melt Sandwich S$9.50, croissant sandwiches S$10.50-13.50 (roast beef, brie and mushroom, smoked salmon and cream cheese, ham and gruyere), Chilli Chicken & Bacon Sandwich S$14, plus salads and granola bowls S$8.30-10. Coffee S$5-6.80. Every price on that menu is stated before 10% service charge and GST. REAL SPEND: a croissant and a latte is about S$12 all-in and a sandwich with coffee about S$21 — this is the cheapest entry on the list by a distance, not the S$18-28 the mid-tier cafes charge. WHY IT WORKS: the Tiong Bahru location is the destination — combine brunch with a walk through the heritage shophouses (Art Deco architecture from 1930s), then a browse along Yong Siak Street's shops, then to Tiong Bahru Market for hawker dessert. Whole morning planned. (Note: BooksActually, the indie bookshop that used to anchor Yong Siak Street, closed its physical store in 2020 and is online-only — don't plan the walk around it.) BOOKING: NOT ACCEPTED at the Tiong Bahru flagship — walk-in only; it opens 8am on weekends, so arrive close to opening for the first batches of croissants (they routinely sell out before 11am). Weekday walk-in any time from 7.30am. SKIP-THE-QUEUE: TBB now runs its own app with a Crumb Club rewards programme and pre-order pickup, which is the only real way to jump the weekend line.

Carrotsticks

Carrotsticks & Cravings — Robertson Quay + Telok Ayer (~S$14-26 + GST)

Address: 7 Rodyk Street #01-34, Robertson Quay (daily 7.30am-5pm) + 5 Stanley Street, Telok Ayer (daily 8am-5pm). IMPORTANT: the old Cluny Court outlet at 501 Bukit Timah Road is gone — Carrotsticks now lists only these two locations, so don't head to Botanic Gardens expecting it. The 'healthy brunch' anchor — focus on bowls, smoothies, organic ingredients, plant-forward menu without being fully vegan. MENU (all-day breakfast, current card): Vegan Overnight Oats S$14, Baked Chia Parfait S$15, Scrambled Eggs on Toast S$15, Acai Berry Bowl S$16, Signature Smash Avo S$18, Vegan Mushroom Avo S$18, Shakshuka S$22, Make Your Own Salmon on Danish rye S$22, Pancakes The Right Way (gluten- and refined-sugar-free blueberry banana oat) S$23, House Breakfast S$26. Salads S$20-26. Smoothies and protein shakes S$10-14, cold-pressed juices S$6.50-12, coffee S$4.50-6, matcha latte S$8. Prices are subject to GST but there is NO service charge here — one of the few brunch spots on this list where the menu price is close to the bill. Add-ons are the trap: eggs, halloumi or smoked salmon are +S$6 each, so the smash avo everyone photographs with eggs on top is S$24, not S$18. SIGNATURE: the Salmon salad (poached salmon, green peas, avocado, honey mustard dressing) at S$26 and the Banana Avo smoothie at S$10. WHY IT WORKS: the Robertson Quay outlet sits on the river promenade = combine with a Singapore River morning walk before the heat; the Stanley Street outlet is a 4-minute walk from Telok Ayer MRT and is the better weekday-before-work option. Solid healthy-living vibe without preachy. CROWD: young-family-with-stroller + Robertson Quay residents at Rodyk Street; CBD desk workers at Stanley Street. NOTE: both outlets close at 5pm — this is a breakfast-to-late-lunch spot, not a dinner one. BOOKING: Carrotsticks publishes no online booking widget — no Chope, no Oddle, just the two outlet numbers (Rodyk Street 8128 9326, Stanley Street 8028 6651), so a weekend table is a phone call, not a click. Weekday mid-morning (9.30am-11am) is walk-in friendly. KIDS: a proper printed kids' menu — avocado on toast S$10, PB & jam on toast S$8, cheese toast S$8, kids pasta S$10, pancakes the kids way S$14 — plus a S$2 babycino, which is the cheapest kids' offering of any spot on this list.

Sarnies

Sarnies — Telok Ayer (~S$14-30++)

Address: 136 Telok Ayer Street, S068601. HOURS HAVE CHANGED: Sarnies' own site publishes no hours at all, and its Google Business listing — actively maintained, the team replies to reviews — now shows 7.30am-5.30pm EVERY DAY, seven days a week. The old pattern this and most other guides quote (9am weekend openings, late evenings Wed-Sat, a 4pm Sunday close) no longer holds; it is now the same early-open, late-afternoon-close day all week. Confirm before an evening trip. Australian-style cafe culture brought to SG by Ben Lee in 2013. House-roasted single-origin coffee (their own roastery + retail bag program) + Aussie-style brunch staples. MENU (the May 2026 all-day card): Granola bowl S$14, Nutty Acai bowl S$18, Avocado on Toast S$18.50, Chilli Eggs on Toast S$18.50, Shakshuka S$23.50, Turkish Eggs S$24, Coffee Honey Pancakes S$24, Breakfast of Champions S$25, Tom Yum Eggs Benedict S$28.50, the full Fry-up S$30. Salads S$22-26, pastas S$22-28. Espresso S$5, flat white or latte S$6.50, cold brew S$8-9.90. All prices exclude GST and service charge. NOTE: the cheap namesake sarnie — the egg, cheese and bacon sandwich guides still quote at S$14 — is no longer on the all-day menu; the toasties (tuna melt, caprese) are the closest thing left. COFFEE: among SG's top 3 specialty roasters — single-origins from Ethiopia, Colombia, Brazil all rotating. They do takeaway bean bags (250g, S$22-30) + a roastery tour by appointment. VIBE: CBD-adjacent cafe energy, gets BUSY at weekday lunch with finance + tech worker crowd; weekend brunch (Sat 10am-2pm) is more relaxed. SIGNATURE: the Turkish Eggs (garlic yoghurt, poached eggs, Santi's chilli crunch, pomegranate, halloumi, sourdough) at S$24, and the tom yum hollandaise on the eggs benedict. BOOKING: Sarnies' own site now links an Oddle reservation page (reserve.oddle.me/en_SG/sarnies), but that page currently shows zero bookable outlets, so treat this as walk-in in practice — arrive at the 7.30am opening or after 1.30pm on a weekend. Weekday mornings are easy.

Symmetry

Symmetry — Jln Kubor / Bugis-fringe (~S$27-36++)

Address: 9 Jalan Kubor #01-01, S199206 (Bugis-Kallang fringe, near Jalan Sultan). One of SG's longest-running Aussie brunch institutions — opened 2012, still consistent quality 13+ years later. HOURS (from its own Chope booking page): Mon-Tue 9am-9pm, Wed-Fri 10am-11pm, Sat 9am-11pm, Sun 9am-7pm — so it opens an hour later midweek than the cafes around it, and it is the only spot on this list serving past 10pm on a Saturday. MENU CHANGED — read this if you came for the French toast: the April 2026 brunch card has no French toast and no smashed avo on it at all. What is there: Spanish Omelette S$27, Soft Eggs in Creamy Mushrooms S$28, Symmetry Eggs Benedict S$28 (now on parmesan-aonori English muffins with hashbrown, not the old corn fritters), Dirty Crab S$29, Chicken Shakshouka S$29, Vegan Breakfast S$29, Symmetry Full Breakfast S$30, Salmon Pancakes S$30, Lamb Stew S$30, Charred Pork Secreto S$32, and a Sunday Roast of MB4-5 wagyu striploin at S$36. Sweets S$20-24 (the Symmetry Waffles at S$24 are the closest thing to the old French toast), sharing starters S$16-21, salads S$21-27. All prices are before GST and service charge, so a S$29 plate bills near S$35. VIBE: industrial-rustic interior, exposed brick + concrete floors, busy weekend energy. Often features in 'best brunch in Singapore' lists. BOOKING: STRONGLY recommended weekends — Chope or direct phone. Its Chope page runs weekend brunch on fixed seatings at 9.30am, 10am, 12pm and 2pm, holds your table for 15 minutes and caps the sitting at 1 hour 50 minutes. Weekday brunch is easier, but note the 10am open Wed-Fri. LOCATION quirk: Jalan Kubor is a quiet old-Singapore street, no MRT immediately adjacent — Bugis MRT + 10 min walk OR Lavender MRT + 12 min walk. Drive + park on Jalan Sultan (street parking S$1-2/hr).

Atlas

Atlas Coffeehouse — Bukit Timah (~S$14-27 incl GST) — Cross-Listicle Pick

Address: 6 Duke's Road, S268886 — a 5-minute walk from Botanic Gardens MRT. HOURS: Tue-Sun 8am-7pm, CLOSED MONDAYS. One of Singapore's most-loved neighbourhood brunch cafes — bright, plant-filled and reliably busy on weekends. BRUNCH MENU: served 8am-3pm, with a separate till-late menu (sandwiches, pasta) from 11am and waffles all day. Prices on Atlas's own ordering menu are quoted INCLUSIVE of 9% GST, which makes it the easiest bill on this list to predict: Banana Bread S$14.17, The B.E.C bacon-and-egg brioche S$15.15, Smoked Brulee French Toast S$15.81, Chia Pudding & Yogurt S$16.35, Super Nutty acai S$17.33, Hotcakes & Passionfruit Curd S$18.53, The Gentleman's Relish (the creamy scrambled eggs on sourdough it is known for) S$20.17, Chorizo Eggs & Avo S$22.35, Monday's Breakfast Sandwich S$22.78, French Toast With Many Berries S$23.98, Mushroom Confit with Poached Eggs S$24.96, Scrambled White & Greens S$25.07, Wurst Rosti S$26.70. Double-shot espresso S$5.01. DRINKS: serious-but-friendly specialty coffee program, plus teas, fresh juices and a signature iced white. VIBE: airy, greenery-filled corner cafe; great for weekend catch-ups and (on quieter weekday mornings) work-from-cafe sessions. BOOKING: NOT ACCEPTED — Atlas states on its own site that reservations are on hold because of limited space in the cafe, so every table is walk-in. Weekend brunch gets packed: arrive close to the 8am opening or come after 2pm, otherwise expect a queue. Weekdays are calmer. Last orders 6.30pm. NOTE: closed Mondays. Cross-tie: pair with a Botanic Gardens / Bukit Timah morning. Confirm current hours before heading down.

What brunch in Singapore actually costs in 2026

The menu number is not the bill. Six of these eight print prices before 10% service charge and GST, which adds close to 19% — a S$30 plate arrives as S$36. Only two quote what you pay: Atlas Coffeehouse's ordering menu is GST-inclusive, and Carrotsticks adds GST but charges no service.

SpotMenu bandWhat it means
Tiong Bahru BakeryS$4.20 croissant, S$9.50-14 sandwichesCoffee and a croissant ~S$12; sandwich and coffee ~S$21
Atlas CoffeehouseS$14.17-26.70Already includes 9% GST — the most predictable bill here
Carrotsticks & CravingsS$14-26Plus GST only, no service charge; add-ons are +S$6 each
SarniesS$14-30Plus service + GST; the S$18.50 avo toast bills at ~S$22
PS.Cafe brunch cardS$14-30Plus service + GST; the all-day menu from 11am is the expensive one (S$29-52)
Common ManS$18-36Plus service + GST; full breakfast and a flat white lands near S$44
Wild HoneyS$20-48Plus service + GST; most breakfasts S$24-32
SymmetryS$27-36Plus service + GST; no dish under S$27 on the brunch card

A two-person weekend brunch with drinks realistically lands at S$45 at the bakery end and S$85-95 at Wild Honey, Common Man or Symmetry.

The SG brunch landscape, briefly

Australian-trained anchor cafes (top tier): Common Man Coffee Roasters, Sarnies, Atlas Coffeehouse, Symmetry — all founded by or led by Aussie-trained baristas and chefs.

Patisserie + counter food: Tiong Bahru Bakery — the destination for croissants and Kouign Amann. It does not run a benedict-and-avo-toast kitchen; the savoury range is croque monsieur, quiche, sandwiches and salads.

International breakfast specialists: Wild Honey — multi-cuisine breakfast formats served all day, from the English to the Tunisian to the Tokyo.

Premium occasion cafes: PS.Cafe — the most-booked weekend brunch brand in SG, though its Dempsey flagship is dark for renovation.

Healthy brunch: Carrotsticks & Cravings — bowls, smoothies and plant-forward plates without being preachy.

What changed in 2026 — and what closed

The brunch map shifted this year, and most of these changes still haven't reached the listing sites:

  • Closed for renovation — PS.Cafe Harding Road (Dempsey), from 23 August 2026 until further notice, per PS.Cafe's own outlet page. No reopening date has been published. This is the single most-booked weekend brunch room in Singapore and every guide still tells you to reserve it three weeks out.
  • New — Park Side by PS.Cafe, at the Singapore Botanic Gardens Nassim Gate visitor centre (1 Cluny Road), open daily 8am-9pm with last order at 8pm. It is walk-ins only, no reservations, which is the opposite of what most 2026 guides say, and it runs its own cheaper menu — brunch S$22-28 until 4pm, big plates S$24-28, pizzas S$24-26, and GST with no service charge.
  • Closed — PS.Cafe Katong served its final day on 15 March 2026. PS.Cafe now points Katong regulars to East Coast Park. Directory sites still carry a Katong page.
  • Hours reset — Sarnies now runs 7.30am-5.30pm seven days a week on its Google Business listing. The late Wed-Sat evenings and the 4pm Sunday close that guides (including this one, until this update) quoted are gone.
  • Menu reset — Symmetry dropped the French toast and the smashed avo from its April 2026 brunch card. Nothing on that card is under S$27 now.
  • Still walk-in only — Atlas Coffeehouse has kept reservations on hold, and Common Man's Martin Road flagship has never taken them.

Booking reality

Weekend brunch (Sat-Sun 10am-2pm) at any of these fills up, and most of them cannot be booked:

Note that pscafe.com/reservations currently redirects to Park Side's separate website, so start from the outlet page you actually want rather than the generic reservations link.

Weekday brunch (9am-11am) is meaningfully easier at all eight — though Symmetry only opens at 10am from Wednesday to Friday.

Sunday brunch in Singapore — who's open and who closes early

Sunday is the peak brunch day and the day opening hours catch people out. Verified Sunday hours:

Common Man (Martin Rd)7.30am-6pmWalk-in only
Carrotsticks & Cravings7.30am-5pm Robertson Quay, 8am-5pm Telok AyerNo dinner service
Sarnies7.30am-5.30pmSame hours as every other day now — the old 4pm Sunday close is gone
Symmetry9am-7pmIts earliest close of the week — Sunday is the one day it does not run late
PS.Cafe Park Side8am-9pm (last order 8pm)Walk-in only, and Botanic Gardens parking fills by 9am

Best Sunday strategy: the 10am-2pm window is the worst of the week everywhere. For the walk-in-only spots, be seated by 9am. For a late Sunday brunch, Wild Honey is the only one on this list still serving into the evening.

Earliest openings if you want breakfast, not brunch

If you want a proper Singapore breakfast rather than a midday brunch, opening time is the deciding factor:

  • 7.30am — Common Man (Martin Rd + Stanley St, daily), Carrotsticks & Cravings Robertson Quay (daily), Sarnies (daily), Tiong Bahru Bakery Eng Hoon St (Mon-Fri) and Raffles City (Mon-Fri)
  • 8am — Atlas Coffeehouse (Tue-Sun), Carrotsticks & Cravings Telok Ayer (daily), Tiong Bahru Bakery Eng Hoon St (Sat-Sun), PS.Cafe outlets and Park Side (daily)
  • 9am — Wild Honey (daily), Symmetry (Mon-Tue and Sat-Sun; 10am Wed-Fri)

For a genuine before-work breakfast, Common Man Stanley Street, Sarnies and Carrotsticks & Cravings Telok Ayer are the three CBD-adjacent options that open at 7.30am within a few minutes of an MRT station.

Coffee depth ranking

For coffee-first patrons:

TierSpots
S (own roastery, serious specialty)Common Man, Sarnies
A (pours a specialty roaster's beans)Wild Honey (Common Man beans), Atlas Coffeehouse, Carrotsticks (Allpress A.R.T. Espresso Roast)
B (good cafe coffee)Tiong Bahru Bakery, PS.Cafe (its own India/Uganda/Ethiopia house blend)
C (coffee is incidental)Symmetry

If coffee is the priority, go Common Man or Sarnies. Wild Honey is the surprise — it prints "coffee by Common Man Coffee Roasters" on its own menu, so you get the anchor roaster's beans with the all-day breakfast menu.

Laptop-friendly vs occasion-only

Laptop-friendly (good wifi, sockets, time-tolerant): Common Man, Sarnies, Atlas Coffeehouse (3-hour OK on a quiet weekday).

Laptop-discouraged (no signage but social pressure): PS.Cafe, Symmetry, Tiong Bahru Bakery (small space + fast turnover).

Best laptop-brunch combo: Common Man Tuesday-Thursday 9am-11.30am.

8-week brunch tour

For a couple wanting to do all eight in eight weekends, with a coffee each and service charge and GST included:

  • Week 1 Tiong Bahru Bakery — Sat 8am opening (walk-in) + heritage walk — ~S$22/pax
  • Week 2 Atlas Coffeehouse — Sat 8am opening (walk-in) + Botanic Gardens / Bukit Timah walk — ~S$25/pax
  • Week 3 Sarnies — Tue 7.30am weekday + Telok Ayer — ~S$30/pax
  • Week 4 Wild Honey — Sat 11am (SevenRooms, 5 days ahead) + Mandarin Gallery shopping — ~S$44/pax
  • Week 5 Symmetry — Sun 10am seating (Chope) + Kampong Glam wander — ~S$40/pax
  • Week 6 Common Man Martin Road — Sat 7.30am opening (walk-in) + Fort Canning Park — ~S$44/pax
  • Week 7 Carrotsticks & Cravings Robertson Quay — Sun 9.30am (phone ahead) + Singapore River promenade — ~S$26/pax
  • Week 8 PS.Cafe — Sat 11am at Park Side (walk-in) or a Chope booking at Palais or Great World — ~S$37/pax

Total: about S$268/pax across eight weekends, or roughly S$34 a head a week. For a couple, ~S$536.

When NOT to brunch out

  • Sunday 12pm peak — most spots have 60+ min waits and the kitchen rhythm slips
  • Monday closures — Atlas Coffeehouse is closed Mondays; Symmetry and Common Man Joo Chiat, Alexandra and Sentosa all close early on Mondays
  • Post-public-holiday Tuesdays — kitchens recover; not the best food
  • Heavy rain mornings — outdoor terraces (PS.Cafe, Common Man, Park Side) lose their best seats; pick indoor-only spots that day

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the realistic booking timeline for SG brunch — when should I reserve?

The honest answer for 2026 is that most of this list cannot be booked at all. NO BOOKINGS — TIONG BAHRU BAKERY (the Eng Hoon St flagship takes none; arrive at the 8am weekend opening for the first croissants), ATLAS COFFEEHOUSE (reservations on hold because of limited space — arrive near the 8am opening or after 2pm), COMMON MAN COFFEE ROASTERS Martin Road and Stanley Street (walk-ins only; Alexandra Road is the one CMCR you can book a brunch table at, from 11.30am, and its reservations page now also lists Sentosa for lunch), and PS.CAFE PARK SIDE, whose own FAQ says walk-ins only, first come first served. WALK-IN IN PRACTICE — SARNIES: its site links an Oddle reservation page, but that page currently shows zero bookable outlets, so plan to arrive at the 7.30am opening or after 1.30pm. PHONE ONLY — CARROTSTICKS & CRAVINGS publishes no booking widget at all; call Rodyk Street on 8128 9326 or Stanley Street on 8028 6651. 3-5 DAYS AHEAD — WILD HONEY, through its own SevenRooms link on wildhoney.com.sg, not Chope; parties of 5 and under must book and cancel online, 6 and above go by phone (6235 3900) or email. CHOPE, FIXED SEATINGS — SYMMETRY runs weekend brunch at 9.30am, 10am, 12pm and 2pm, holds the table 15 minutes and caps the sitting at 1 hour 50 minutes. 14-21 DAYS AHEAD — PS.CAFE's bookable outlets, all through Chope from each outlet's own page; note that pscafe.com/reservations currently redirects to Park Side's separate website, and that the Harding Road (Dempsey) flagship has been closed for renovation since 23 August 2026. FALLBACK: weekday brunch (Mon-Fri 9am-11.30am) is meaningfully easier everywhere, though Symmetry only opens at 10am Wed-Fri.

Which spots are best for working from cafe with a laptop, and which discourage it?

LAPTOP-FRIENDLY (good wifi, ample seating, electrical sockets, no time limit): COMMON MAN COFFEE ROASTERS — explicit work-from-cafe culture, 50%+ patrons have laptops out, sockets at most tables, fast wifi. The de facto SG digital nomad cafe. SARNIES — also strong work-from-cafe energy especially weekday mornings; sockets at counter seats + select tables. It now closes at 5.30pm every day, so it is a morning-and-afternoon base, not an evening one. ATLAS COFFEEHOUSE — good on quiet weekday mornings (it opens 8am Tue-Sun, closed Mondays), but weekends are packed and a laptop will not be welcome. CARROTSTICKS & CRAVINGS — neutral, no discouragement but lighter laptop culture; if you're a weekday-morning solo work patron, fine. LAPTOP-DISCOURAGED (no signage but social pressure): PS.CAFE all outlets — the brand is positioned as occasion brunch, not productivity; you'll feel out of place with a laptop, especially Dempsey. SYMMETRY — busy + intimate space, laptops aren't banned but the social energy is conversational not focused-work. WILD HONEY — moderate; the Mandarin Gallery outlet (now the only one) is busy with Orchard shoppers and turns tables, so it's fine for an hour of light laptop work but not a half-day base. TIONG BAHRU BAKERY — small, intimate, fast turnover for the croissant crowd; not suitable for laptop work. BEST STRATEGY for laptop brunch: Common Man Tuesday-Thursday 9am-11.30am window. Bookable, sockets, food, coffee, and 3-hour-acceptable culture.

Coffee quality ranking — which spots actually have great coffee vs just decent?

RANKED by specialty coffee depth (independent of brunch food quality): TIER S — actual specialty roastery: COMMON MAN COFFEE ROASTERS (their own roastery on Martin Road, V60 + Aeropress + espresso, single-origin rotation, baristas often Aussie-trained), SARNIES (also their own roastery, single-origin Ethiopia + Colombia + Brazil rotation, retail bag program). TIER A — pours a specialty roaster's beans without roasting in-house: WILD HONEY, which prints "coffee by Common Man Coffee Roasters" on its own menu, so it is quietly drinking from the tier-S roaster (this is the single most under-reported thing about Wild Honey's coffee); ATLAS COFFEEHOUSE (a genuinely good espresso program and a signature iced white; the reason regulars keep coming back); CARROTSTICKS & CRAVINGS, which partners Allpress Coffee for its A.R.T. Espresso Roast — Arabica from Brazil, Colombia and Papua New Guinea. TIER B — solid cafe coffee: PS.CAFE, which serves its own house blend of Indian, Ugandan and Ethiopian arabica as a double shot (S$6-7.50); TIONG BAHRU BAKERY (espresso forward, decent flat whites and lattes at S$5-6.80; not destination-coffee). TIER C — coffee is incidental: SYMMETRY (food destination; coffee is fine but not the reason to go). FOR COFFEE-FIRST BRUNCH PATRONS: Common Man or Sarnies — these are SG's top 2 specialty coffee + brunch combos and they'll satisfy a serious coffee drinker. FOR FOOD-FIRST PATRONS: any of the others — coffee will be 'good cafe coffee' which is enough.

What's a realistic 8-week SG brunch tour to hit all 8 — and roughly how much will it cost?

Realistic ROTATION ITINERARY (1 brunch per week, all 8 in 8 weeks). Every figure below is a main plus a coffee with service charge and GST already added, which is why they run higher than the menu prices: WEEK 1 — Tiong Bahru Bakery Sat 8am opening (croissant haul, no bookings) + walk Tiong Bahru shophouses, ~S$22/pax. WEEK 2 — Atlas Coffeehouse Sat 8am opening (walk-in only, closed Mondays) + Botanic Gardens and Bukit Timah morning walk, ~S$25/pax. WEEK 3 — Sarnies Tue 7.30am (it opens at 7.30am every day now) + Telok Ayer walking heritage tour, ~S$30/pax. WEEK 4 — Wild Honey Sat 11am (SevenRooms, 5 days ahead) + Mandarin Gallery shopping, ~S$44/pax. WEEK 5 — Symmetry Sun 10am seating (Chope) + Kampong Glam wander, ~S$40/pax. WEEK 6 — Common Man Coffee Roasters Martin Road Sat 7.30am opening (walk-in only) + Fort Canning Park, ~S$44/pax. WEEK 7 — Carrotsticks & Cravings Robertson Quay Sun 9.30am (phone ahead) + Singapore River promenade walk, ~S$26/pax. WEEK 8 — PS.Cafe: Park Side at the Botanic Gardens Sat 11am as a walk-in, or a Chope booking at Palais Renaissance or Great World, ~S$37/pax. Harding Road at Dempsey has been closed for renovation since 23 August 2026, so do not build the finale around it. TOTAL BUDGET: about S$268/pax across 8 weekends = roughly S$34/pax/week. For a couple, about S$536 or S$67 a weekend. CHEAPER VERSION: swap the two most expensive weeks (Wild Honey and Common Man) for a second Tiong Bahru Bakery and a second Carrotsticks visit and the total drops to about S$220/pax.

Where's the best healthy brunch in Singapore — and what should I order at the rest?

THE DEDICATED PICK: CARROTSTICKS & CRAVINGS is the only spot on this list built around healthy brunch from the ground up — plant-forward without being fully vegan. Current prices: vegan overnight oats S$14, baked chia parfait S$15, acai berry bowl S$16, signature smash avo S$18, a gluten- and refined-sugar-free blueberry banana oat pancake at S$23, and a poached-salmon salad with green peas, avocado and honey mustard at S$26. Those are before 9% GST, but there is no service charge, so it is also the cheapest healthy brunch here in real terms. Both outlets (7 Rodyk Street, Robertson Quay, daily 7.30am-5pm; 5 Stanley Street, Telok Ayer, daily 8am-5pm) close at 5pm, so treat it as breakfast-to-late-lunch. IF YOU'RE AT THE OTHERS: COMMON MAN — the Crunchy Granola at S$18 and the Energy Bowl (roast vegetables, green hummus, poached egg, tahini) at S$20 are the lightest things on the menu, and Grounded by CMCR upstairs at Martin Road runs a wellness-leaning menu of its own. SARNIES — the granola bowl S$14 and the nutty acai bowl S$18. ATLAS COFFEEHOUSE — Scrambled White & Greens (kale, asparagus, spinach, edamame, egg whites) at S$25.07, GST included. WILD HONEY — the Tunisian shakshouka (S$26) is vegetable-led and the lightest of the international breakfasts, and the Swiss bircher at S$16 is the lightest thing on the menu full stop. HARDEST TO EAT LIGHT: PS.Cafe and Symmetry are both indulgence-first menus — go for the experience, not the macros. DIETARY NOTES: Carrotsticks is the most reliable for gluten-free and dairy-free swaps; most of the others will do a substitution but don't run a dedicated allergen menu, so call ahead if it matters. Confirm current menu items before you go — seasonal menus rotate.

Is PS.Cafe at Dempsey (Harding Road) still open — and where should I go instead?

No, not right now. PS.Cafe's own Harding Road page states the outlet is closed for renovations from 23 August 2026 until further notice, and no reopening date has been published. Harding Road is the forest-bungalow flagship at Dempsey Hill that people mean when they say 'PS.Cafe Dempsey', and it is normally the single most-booked weekend brunch room in Singapore, so most guides and directory listings are still telling readers to reserve it three weeks out. WHERE TO GO INSTEAD, in order of how close they come to the Harding Road experience: PARK SIDE BY PS.CAFE at the Singapore Botanic Gardens Nassim Gate visitor centre (1 Cluny Road) is the closest in feel — greenery, all-day cafe food, open daily 8am-9pm with last order at 8pm — but it takes no reservations at all, so arrive early on a weekend. PS.CAFE EAST COAST PARK for the same outdoor, post-walk energy. PS.CAFE GREAT WORLD, PARAGON, RAFFLES CITY, PALAIS RENAISSANCE, ONE FULLERTON, MARINA BAY SANDS and JEWEL CHANGI are the mall and waterfront outlets, all bookable through Chope from each outlet's own page. Note that pscafe.com/reservations currently redirects to Park Side's separate website, so go via the outlet page. If it is the Dempsey setting specifically you want, Chopsuey Cafe at Dempsey Hill is the same group in the same neighbourhood.

How much does brunch in Singapore actually cost in 2026?

Budget S$22 a head at the cheapest end and S$45 at the most expensive, once service charge and GST are in. The trap is that six of these eight print prices before 10% service charge and prevailing GST, which adds close to 19% — so a S$30 plate is a S$36 line on the bill, and only two venues quote what you actually pay. CHEAPEST — TIONG BAHRU BAKERY: a S$4.20 croissant and a S$5-6.80 coffee comes to about S$12 all-in; a sandwich (S$9.50-14) with coffee is about S$21. ATLAS COFFEEHOUSE quotes S$14.17-26.70 with 9% GST already included, which makes it the most predictable bill on the list. CARROTSTICKS & CRAVINGS runs S$14-26 plus GST with no service charge — but eggs, halloumi or smoked salmon are +S$6 each, so the smash avo photographed with eggs is S$24 rather than S$18. SARNIES S$14-30++ and PS.CAFE's brunch card S$14-30++ sit in the middle, though PS.Cafe's all-day menu from 11am jumps to S$29-52. COMMON MAN S$18-36++ and WILD HONEY S$20-48++ (most breakfasts S$24-32) are the expensive middle, and SYMMETRY has nothing under S$27++ on its brunch card. Add S$5-8 for coffee at every one of them. A two-person weekend brunch with drinks realistically lands at S$45 at the bakery end and S$85-95 at Wild Honey, Common Man or Symmetry. CHEAPEST REAL SAVING: PS.Cafe runs 1-for-1 Aperol Spritz on weekdays until 8pm and 1-for-1 Mimosa on weekends until 4pm, printed on its own all-day menu with no card or code needed.
