📍 32 N Canal Rd, Singapore 059288
⏰ 8AM - 6PM (Closed on Wednesdays)
The cafe has both indoor and outdoor seating. My friends and I opted to sit indoors due to the heat, although the outdoor section looks really lovely with the suspended tendrils. Perfect for photos.
Now on to the food. Generally, the food was not bad but not amazing, and the portions were a little small for their prices.

🌿 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐥 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐲 𝐏𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 ($𝟐𝟏)
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thoughts: There were 3 pancakes, each of adequate thickness/fluffiness, topped with a poached pear dipped in chocolate and speculoos crumbs. I could indeed taste the earl grey in my first bite, but subsequently, it wasn’t that obvious anymore. Still really loved the texture and the speculoos combination though.
🌿 𝐆𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐰𝐢𝐜𝐡 ($𝟏𝟓)
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
Thoughts: Just a regular grilled cheese sandwich that comes with tomato soup for dipping. Portion was a little too small.
🌿 𝐏𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐄𝐠𝐠𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐯𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐨 ($𝟏𝟕)
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
Thoughts: Very generous amount of avocado which was quite tasty, though the dish as a whole looked a little sad without any sides.
🌿 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐚 ($𝟐𝟑)
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thoughts: There are better carbonaras elsewhere.

The humble cafe has no signboards or flashy exterior, so it may be easy to miss. Look out for white curtains, and that’ll be it.
