There are no lack of good cafes in the east, particularly Katong and East Coast Road. Here are some of our top picks on the best cafes to check out in this foodie enclave!

Five Oars Coffee Roasters
Located at Upper East Coast Road, Five Oars Coffee Roasters finally opened its doors after vacating its Tanjong Pagar Road some time back. The new space is much more spacious with both indoor and outdoor seats.

Neptune 
It took over the strategic spot of the now-defunct Firebake, and Neptune is proving to be a hit with Easties. Expect waiting time of up to an hour, the successful team is also behind hit cafes like Apollo Coffee Bar and Columbus Coffee Co.. The space is a mix of limited indoor seats and outdoor tables perfect for post-yoga gurus and road bikes enthusiasts, the outdoor space is also pet-friendly.

The Brewing Ground
New kid on the block at The Yard in Joo Chiat Place, The Brewing Ground is located in a former primary school premise and we love just how standalone the cafe is. There is outdoor seating for bigger groups, but the indoor space is cosy and the cafe serves a good variety of brunch and pasta dishes. The coffee is robust for a good start to the day, and the Breakfast Burger is simply one of the best brunch dishes we had this year.

La Fez Cafe & Bakery
A slice of Morocco in Upper East Coast, La Fez Cafe & Bakery is Muslim-owned and the pink entrance is definitely a statement on its own. Moroccan inspired dining is a rare treat in Singapore, and you can expect dishes like Maghreb Baghrir Pancakes, Majorelle Shakshuka with Feta Cheese and La Sultana Pandan Pancakes.

Chanterelle Café
Located a stone’s throw from Five Oars Coffee Roasters is Chanterelle Café, a relatively new café which spots a cosy space. Croissants and bakes are on display at the counter, while food menu is limited with its signature being an Eggless Egg Toast. Coffee options aside, there is also Matcha drinks using Matchaya powder. Chanterelle is actually a species of mushroom, and a cripsy piece is served with the drink as well.

C Cafe
Located right beside Homeground Coffee, the one week old C Cafe is more than just a game of cards. The contemporary looking cafe has some tricks up their sleeves, and you can feel that energy from the team whom co-founders are magic enthusiasts. The menu is a mix of toasts, avocado toast, waffle, salad and a couple of sides like spam fries and truffle fries. [Read more here…]

Homeground Coffee Roasters
Being a coffee roaster,Homeground Coffee Roasters offers filter coffee from various beans globally. It is a tight space where a queue is almost inevitable. Despite so, the food options are relatively extensive with brunch fares like Avocado Caviar Toast and pasta selections.
