Best English breakfast spots in Singapore
1. The Coffee Academics
We all love a good all-day brunch menu, and The Coffee Academics has some delectable selections. Besides acai bowls and eggs benedict, The Academics Breakfast is one of our favourite English breakfasts in Singapore. The scrambled eggs are topped with chives and truffles which makes it extra luxurious. There are other special additions to the plate too like a slice of grilled halloumi cheese and sourdough slathered with pesto. Pair it with one of the specialty coffees and you’re good to go.
The Coffee Academics, multiple locations including Raffles City and Millenia Walk
2. Whisk & Paddle
We head to Whisk & Paddle for delectable mains like the steak and mac and cheese served with a pink sauce. But don’t skip the brunch menu! The Whisk Breakfast Pan comes with two eggs in your style of choice, smoked sausage, thick cut bacon, mushroom, corn, green salad, and artisanal bread.
Whisk & Paddle, multiple locations including Tebing Lane and Bukit Batok West
3. Symmetry
Symmetry is hands down one of our favourite spots for English breakfast in Singapore. The Symmetry Breakfast puts a unique spin on the typical Brit classic. Choose your preferred style of eggs from sunny-side up, scrambled, overeasy, or eggs gratin. Alongside that, hashbrowns, smoked salmon mousse, roasted brussel sprouts, chicken sausage, and zucchini and corn fritters. Pile it all up on a piece of sourdough bread for the perfect bite.
Symmetry, 9 Jalan Kubor, Singapore 199206
4. The Providore
Get your English breakfast fix at The Providore and don’t forget to order a Bloody Mary to go with it. Our favourite location is the Raffles Place outlet – located in a sunlit glasshouse, it stocks retail products so you can shop for fresh buns and gourmet products. But first, tuck into the sinful combination of eggs, grilled bacon, pork sausage, roasted tomato and sauteed mushrooms.
The Providore, multiple locations including Raffles Place and Downtown Gallery
5. Sprmrkt
It’s easy to get distracted by other choices on the menu (buttermilk pancakes, anyone?) but this breakfast platter will always have our vote. Just taste the fixings – bacon, pork sausage, mushrooms, eggs, and sourdough – and tell us otherwise. Oh, and while you’re here, don’t miss out on the crowd-pleasing truffle fries.
Sprmrkt, #01-15A, 8 Dempsey Road, Singapore 247696
6. Common Man Coffee Roasters
The plates at Common Man Coffee Roasters are as Instagram-worthy as it gets. Snap away at the Common Man Full Breakfast, which consists of two free-range organic eggs (in any style you want), bacon, sausage, tomatoes, hash browns, portobello mushrooms, and house baked chorizo beans. You also get a choice of sourdough or wholemeal toast. Oh, and the brews are exquisite.

7. PS.Cafe
Laze the weekend away at PS.Cafe’s picture-perfect East Coast Park outlet (our favourite of the lot!). The Big Breakfast comes with two eggs (poached, fried, or scrambled), smoked bacon, spinach, buttered toast, baked beans, cherry tomatoes and pork or Angus sausage. Heavy, but worth it!
PS.Cafe, multiple locations including East Coast Park and Ann Siang Hill
8. The English House, By Marco Pierre White
It’s no surprise that you get a plate of fry-up in its full glory at this British establishment. Available on weekdays, the English breakfast comes with crisp bacon, grilled sausages, roasted tomato, mushrooms, fried egg and, for your carb dose, crumpets. It can’t get any more English than this!

9. Food for Thought
Here, you can choose between the Basic Works (eggs, bacon, bread) and the Full Works (garlic mushrooms… mmm). Of course, we say go all out and get the latter. Once stuffed, take a stroll around the museum to walk off the guilt!
Food for Thought, #01-04/05, National Museum of Singapore, 93 Stamford Road, Singapore 178897
10. Ninethirty by Awfully Chocolate
Founded by the folks behind Awfully Chocolate, Ninethirty is the group’s foray into more savoury treats. Under its breakfast selection, you’ll find the Breakfast Plate. Think creamy scrambled eggs, sliced pancetta, bratwurst, tomatoes, arugula and parmesan. And instead of sourdough, you get a buttery croissant that’s both flakey and delicious.
Ninethirty, 131 East Coast Road, Singapore 428816
11. Sarnies
The folks at Sarnies know what constitutes a good breakfast – stellar coffee and top-notch brekkie options. Leave your diet at the door and feast on its fry-up, made of hot honey bacon (it’s just the right fat to meat ratio and served crispy), grilled tomatoes, folded eggs, smokey baked beans, tater tots (drool), and country sourdough.
Sarnies, 136 Telok Ayer Street, Singapore 068601
12. Wild Honey
If we’re talking about breakfast, you know Wild Honey will make the list. Offering a variety of brekkie styles, from Tunisian to Greek, this is where you’ll be spoilt for choice. But since we’re spotlighting the classic English breakfast, Wild Honey’s English lives up to its name. We’re talking about eggs (poached, fried or scrambled), streaky bacon, pork sausage, turkey croquette, potato hash, sauteed mushrooms, house baked beans, grilled tomato, signature brioche.
