Breakfast is the meal of champions, caffeine’s unofficial buddy, and a meal made a whole lot better when you’re not the one making it.
Whether you’re a lover of avocado on toast or you’re looking for something more adventurous (we are looking at you, blue corn waffles with fried chicken), Urban List has rounded up the best breakfasts in Singapore to kickstart your mornings.
Wild Honey
#03-01/02 Mandarin Gallery, 333A Orchard Road and #03-01, 6 Scotts Square, 6 Scotts Road

Serving up a selection of globally inspired all-day breakfasts, Wild Honey is always a popular choice when it comes to a delicious breakfast in Singapore. The menu was inspired by the owners’ travels around the world, so you can expect dishes like Tahitian coconut pancakes with coconut yoghurt, fresh mango, passion fruit and maple syrup, and Tunisian spicy shakshuka (onion, tomato, red pepper and chilli) with chorizo and eggs.
We recommend pairing your meal with a Turkish coffee, which is brewed in a traditional copper pot and is much more aromatic and thicker than other coffees.
The Providore
Various Locations

The Providore is a well-loved cafe and deli which serves up good food and delicious coffee inspired by their own product range, together with the freshest seasonal ingredients.
Their breakfast menu is served until 11.30am weekdays and 3pm on weekends and public holidays. Highlights include the ricotta pancakes with caramelised banana and candied walnuts, the Spanish baked eggs, and the English breakfast which comes with grilled bacon and bratwurst sausage. They also have a great selection of artisanal breads and pastries which are made fresh each morning by their team of skilled bakers.
Lola’s

Lola’s is a delightful neighbourhood cafe in Singapore. The kind of place that always smells like freshly ground coffee and delicious baked treats. Known for its unpretentious comfort food and chic yet comfortable interiors, the brand has two outlets across Singapore—Kovan and Holland Village.
The menu features brunch favourites like waffles, grilled cheese, and pulled pork and avocado eggs benedict, but our go-to is the Lola’s breakfast which comes with sourdough, bacon, pork and fennel sausages, scrambled eggs, avocado and roasted baby potatoes.
Carrotsticks & Cravings at Roberston Quay
7 Rodyk Street, #01-34 and 5 Stanley Street, #01-01

Founded by Melbourne born Terri-Anne, Carrotsticks & Cravings is an Australian inspired cafe that focuses on healthy food that not only looks good, but tastes good too.
Loaded with superfoods and wholesome fare, the breakfast menu includes everything from smashed avocado on toast to breakfast burritos, overnight oats and acai bowls. Those familiar with Vegemite will be pleased to see the famous Aussie breakfast spread even made it onto the menu.
East Coast Commune
1000 East Coast Park, #01-03

Located at the Marine Cove enclave at East Coast Park, East Coast Commune is one of our favourite breakfast spots in Singapore—especially given its beachside locale.
The menu consists of wholesome western fare with an Asian influence—think chicken and waffles with spiced chicken thighs, steak and eggs, avocado on toast, as well as lighter options like bagels and croissants. Special attention has been paid to the children’s menu with oatmeal, scrambled eggs and pancakes on offer. The kid-friendly space also has ample room for strollers and is equipped with baby seats, a play area with open-ended toys and a curated library of books housed on low shelves.

Super LOCO Robertson Quay
Various Locations

When you think of breakfast, Mexican cuisine probably isn't the first thing to spring to mind—but hear us out. Serving up fresh, sustainable familia style Mexican fare, Super LOCO, particularly their Robertson Quay outlet, is a must-try for those looking to enjoy a leisurely weekend brunch.
The menu is inspired by the vibrant markets of Mexico and a food culture that honours home cooking, local produce and heartfelt hospitality. We recommend the super cheesy corn fritters, super brekkie burrito and the blue corn waffles with fried chicken. But don't worry, they also have avocado on toast if that's more your thing.
Merci Marcel
Various Locations

Adding a little Parisian flair to the Lion City, Merci Marcel has become a firm favourite with many thanks to its Instagram-worthy decor and tasty brunch offering. With six outlets across the island (our favourites are Tiong Bahru and Club Street), you won't have to travel far to get your fix.
There are two different breakfast menus available depneding on when you visit, but highlights include the homemade granola with fresh fruit and nuts, the French toast with berries and whipped cream, and the eggs benedict which comes with ham, mushroom and hollandaise sauce.
Sarnies
136 Telok Ayer Street

If you have ahankering for genuine, good ol’ Aussie style grub packed with flavour and made with all things fresh, Sarnies is the place for you.
For breakfast we reccomend the tomatoes on toast, the pastrami Reuben bagel with sauerkraut, pickled cucumber, aioli and Dijon mustard, and the hearty steak and eggs. Sarnies is also known for its seriously good coffee, which is roasted in house and available to purchase in store or online.
PS.Cafe
Various Locations

Although PS.Cafe has various locations across the country, for a truly relaxing brunch experience you can’t beat PS.Cafe at East Coast Park.
The bright and airy space takes its design inspiration from the seaside and offers a menu full of PS. classics alongside a few outlet specific dishes. For brunch we recommend the blueberry pancakes and breakfast grand slam bunwich which comes with a fried egg, crispy bacon, pork sausage, caramelised onion and raisin relish.
Punch
32 North Canal Road

Showcasing a simple menu with an all-day breakfast, Punch is known for its minimalist vibes and unique open courtyard which is a hit with the cool kids.
Although Punch does a really good poached eggs with avocado, we suggest trying something a little different. The banana porridge and earl grey pancakes with poached pear and white chocolate macadamia would be our top picks. Of course, if you simply can’t say no to eggs, Dean's Breakfast with poached eggs, melted cheese and Vegemite on seeded toast, and sliced avocado is the way to go.
Tiong Bahru Bakery
Various Locations

If you’re short on time and just want to grab and pastry and coffee to go, look no further than Tiong Bahru Bakery.
One of the very first French cafes in Singapore, Tiong Bahru Bakery’s croissants have been voted by many as the best in the country. Their almond croissants and pain au chocolats are also a delicious choice.
Open Farm Community
130E Minden Road

Open Farm Community is Singapore's pioneering urban farm and restaurant concept—a timely reaction to the increasing disconnect between people and their food.
Showcasing a selection of local and regional produce, their special weekend brunch menu includes eggs benedict with smoked salmon and local slaw, pumpkin toast with hummus and candied pumpkin seeds, as well as a warm kale and broccoli salad with an onsen egg. Did we mention the 90-minute free flow which includes wine, beer and selected cocktails?
Coastes
50 Siloso Beach Walk

Situated along a golden stretch of Sentosa’s Siloso Beach, the rustic charm and casual, laid-back vibe at Coastes is hard to beat.
If you’re feeling hungry, the Coastes Signature Breakfast has everything you could ever want: scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, grilled sausages, mushrooms, tomatoes and sourdough toast. For something a little lighter, we suggest the bacon and arugula frittata, ham and cheese croissant, or homemade granola with Greek yoghurt and fresh berries.
Surrey Hills Grocer
Various Locations

Another authentic Australian destination, Surrey Hills Grocer is a cafe and a specialty grocer all-in-one. The name itself is an ode to two eponymous townships that reside in Australia. Inspired by the scenic autumn forest landscapes at the quaint Surrey Hills town in Melbourne, and the finest baked goods at Surrey Hills, an inner-city suburb of Sydney and hip strip known for its vibrant cultural and cafe scene.
For breakfast look no further than their Surrey Hills big breakfast, blueberry pancakes, and their BBQ pulled pork benny featuring a 48-hour sous vide pork shoulder, house BBQ sauce, rich hollandaise, and an irresistible maple bacon.
