We’ve got you covered.
Cafe-hopping is a way of life in sunny Singapore, and there definitely isn’t a lack of options with so many new establishments popping up. Check out some new cafes that opened within the last month – new spots for you and your brunch date gang to hang!
Enchanted Cafe
Enchanted Cafe’s ambience and menu items are just as magical as the cafe’s name. Sorcerer’s Elixir ($9.90), a colour-changing drink in a bed of dry ice, is one of their most Instagrammed items. Their food is a unique fusion, like the Ngoh Hiang Burger ($18.90), which features a handmade Ngoh Hiang patty made with minced pork and water chestnuts. The ambience and plating makes you feel like you are dining right in the middle of a magical forest!

ERGON
This Greek deli-cafe which officially opened its doors in late April exudes a homey vibe, serving wholesome Greek bites like their Quinoa Salad (salads from $17) and Grilled Octopus on Hummus ($24). Their Bougatsa (pictured) ($9), which is a Greek breakfast pastry filled with either semolina custard, cheese, or minced meat between layers of phyllo, is also said to be highly addictive. Pop in for a laidback afternoon munching on Baklava ($8) and sipping coffee.

Nesuto
This place brings you into reverie with its soft-coloured walls and inviting entremets. Their beautiful cakes against the backdrop of hand-painted floral murals makes the cafe really Instagram-worthy.
Some signature cakes include Suzette ($9.80) and the Le Omm ($9). The former is a Santiago tart with creamy vanilla bavaroise, Ivoire 35% ‘Grand Marnier’ crémeux and a citrusy tinge of orange caramel. The latter is a Matcha soufflé sponge cake layered with Mascarpone cheese spiked with a tinge of rum and Matcha powder. Delicious!

Steamroom With The Pillar and Stones
In a space that combines retail, food and art, Steamroom with The Pillar and Stones is a zen corner away from the town crowd. It gives playful, modern takes on classic Japanese fare like the Salmon Ochazuke (pictured, $24), which features steamed Japanese rice with torched Norwegian salmon, edamame and salmon caviar served with a pot of smoked tea dashi. Another mouth-watering dish is their Lobster Fregola Sarda Pasta ($28), which features Sardinian pasta shaped like pearls, doused in thick lobster bisque, topped with crab meat and an onsen egg!

Groundstory
The newly-opened coffee house cum craft store features beautiful pottery, delicious roasts and delicate cakes. Some delicious options are their Thai Milk Tea Cake and Black Sesame Cake (pictured, $8.50). Simply sipping a Chai Latte at this cafe is a work of art, as the steaming drinks come in wonderfully-crafted handmade mugs.

Flying Monkey
Flying Monkey is not exactly a brunch spot per se, but it’s a great contemporary Indian bar to chillax at with your friends. If you are looking for modern Indian dishes, tapas and creative drinks, this is the place to go. You can sample some interesting dishes like their Quail Musallam ($26) and Truffle Naan ($14), or be awed by their special cocktail Monkey On Fire ($20) (pictured), which has an inviting whiff of burnt cinnamon.
