New cafes in Singapore: February 2026
Studio Frond
So, you’ve thought of starting a drinks bar and throwing a few floral arrangement activities in the mix. Studio Frond turned that idea into reality with a minimalist space in Joo Chiat. The botanical matcha bar invites green (and black) thumbs to swing by, grab a cup of matcha, and design your own takeaway tray with flowers. Sounds fun, yes?
There are two matcha options for you to choose from, with Frond #2 being the more popular pick thanks to its herbaceous, umami flavour profile. If you’re not a matcha purist (good job on that), the specialty matcha drinks should be up your alley. The menu rotates, which means you’ll end up with a selection that’s surprise and delight. Just don’t get attached to them.
And what about the floral arrangement? For $15, you’ll get three flowers to decorate your carton tray. Select the florals you want, shorten the stems, and flex your blooming creativity. We’ve asked our Group Editor to go for this – she needs all the help she can get.
Must-try items: Frond #2
How much: Drinks from $6
Opening hours: Weekends, 10am to 6pm (open till 5pm on Sundays)
Address: #01-05, 216 Joo Chiat Rd, Singapore 427483
Oatsome
We’re seeing the rise of couples making something together – we’re referring to food businesses here, not children. Andy and Cheree are the brains behind Oatsome, a clean bakery and specialty Greek yoghurt bar that has popped up in Tanjong Pagar’s food scene. We’re loving the chic, minimalist space, which is perfect for photos on the ‘gram and a quick hang.
The yoghurt is strained for 72 hours, resulting in a thick consistency that goes well with any toppings. Go for the pistachio butter for a nutty kick, and the black sesame granola for added texture to your bowl. Want a taste of Korea? The black sesame injeolmi mammoth bbang (Korean term for bread, $15) will transport you from Singapore to Seoul after your first taste.
If you think clean, no sugar bakes mean boring for your palate, you better think twice. Oatsome’s offerings are anything but dull. We fell head over heels for the pistachio cinnamon bun ($7), a match made in heaven in terms of flavour combinations. It’s sweet, nutty, and slightly spicy, the best treat after surviving another gruelling week at work.
Must-try items: Greek yoghurt bowl; pistachio cinnamon bun; walnut carrot cake
How much: Greek yoghurt bowl at $12; bbangs at $15; overnight oats from $5.90; parfaits and tiramisu from $20; clean bakes from $6
Opening hours: Mondays, Thursdays & Fridays, 12pm to 7pm and weekends, 11am to 3pm
Address: 100 Tanjong Pagar Road, Singapore 088521
Nuldam Space
Watch out, Orchard Road: Scape Singapore is riding its renaissance wave with a string of exciting F&B offerings. Top of the list is Nuldam Space, a cafe which has made its way from Seoul to Singapore. “Nuldam” means “to capture (or contain) thoughts of you, my precious one”, something you’re encouraged to do at this space.
Those who identify as meat lovers might baulk at the plant-based menu. We say keep an open mind and try out the dishes – some of them might just surprise you. The most popular item here? That would be the vegan tiramisu layered cake ($8.90), which comes loaded with cream and coffee. Pair that with the vegan Nuldam black sesame cream latte ($9) for a nutty, earthy finish.
While you’re here, we highly encourage you to take part in the letter writing, where you can pen a note to your future self or loved ones. Purchase the letter sets (along with your food and drink) when you first arrive, then write your innermost thoughts and feelings down. Once you’re done, seal your envelope and place it in the mailbox with your chosen delivery date. Vegan food and heartfelt vibes – that’s Nuldam Space for you.
Must-try items: Vegan tiramisu layered cake; vegan matcha croissant; vegan Nuldam black sesame cream latte
How much: Food from $7.50; drinks from $4.50
Opening hours: Daily, 10am to 10pm
Address: #02-14/15, Scape, 2 Orchard Link, Singapore 237978
Marlow’s Deli
They say change is the only constant. The Wooly’s Bagels team believes in that mantra, which is why the popular Muslim-friendly cafe has been rebranded into Marlow’s Deli. Yes, the team has swapped the dense, chewy bread roll for freshly toasted focaccia. The menu is pretty straightforward, which means you won’t need “a few more minutes” to decide on your order.
If you’re looking for a standout sandwich experience, forget everything else and get the Ocean’s Melt ($19). The pollock fillet, tartar sauce, Emmental cheese, and veggies go swimmingly well together – top up $5 for caviar and elevate the sando into an umami flavour bomb!
We also enjoyed the salt beef sanga ($19), a hunky creation featuring slow-cooked beef, cheese, mustard, and mesclun. Every bite sends tingles down our spine: the saltiness doesn’t overwhelm, while the mustard offers a lovely balance amidst all the richness.
The drinks are your standard cafe offerings, so we say ditch those and go for the cloud foam series (from $7.50). You can never go wrong with strawberry matcha, though coconut matcha is one concoction you should try at least once. Mark our words: it’s going to dominate your feed soon enough.
Must-try items: Ocean’s Melt; salt beef sanga
How much: Sandwiches from $13; sides from $5; drinks from $4
Opening hours: Daily, 9.30am to 7.30pm (closed on Mondays at Rangoon Road outlet)
Address: Multiple locations including Joo Chiat Road and Rangoon Road
Pomegranate
Looking for a new cafe in Singapore to turn into your next fave haunt? Head to Duo Galleria and check out Pomegranate, a Muslim-friendly establishment where you can sink your teeth into brunch plates, mains, or a lovely afternoon tete-a-tete (and tea) with your bestie.
Pop by in the morning for the full English breakfast ($20), comprising scrambled eggs, sausages, mushrooms, tomatoes, potatoes, and sourdough. Deliciously filling! Even if you’re not into brekkie, the set will be your new favourite after you’re done. From noon onwards, the menu changes to mains and pasta, featuring proteins from the land, air, and sea.
We’ve saved the best for last: the afternoon set. Here, you get to feast on finger sandwiches, scones, cakes and tarts, all served with cream and preserves. Oh, and your choice of tea in a pot! Remember to pace yourselves or you’ll need the staff to roll you out of the cafe after you’re done…
Must-try items: Afternoon tea; full English breakfast; Eggs Royal; French toast
How much: Breakfast from $8; sandwiches from $13; afternoon tea at $70 for two pax; mains from $20; sides from $10; plated desserts from $14
Opening hours: Mondays to Thursdays, 9.30am to 6pm, Fridays & Saturdays, 9.30am to 8pm, and Sundays, 9am to 5.30pm
Address: #01-34/35, Duo Galleria, 7 Fraser Street, Singapore 189356
New cafes in Singapore: January 2026
Sloth and Messenger Coffee
Easties might remember this hole-in-the-wall cafe, which occupied a space within Brawn & Brains Coffee. Sloth and Messenger Coffee has now upgraded to its own digs at Amoy Street, which means office folks have one more option for a quick midday or afternoon caffeine fix.
Similar to its previous set-up, you can get the standard coffee options (from $4.50) made with two types of beans. The Brazil Carmo de Minas offers chocolatey sweet notes, while the Kenya Gichichi AA boasts a fruity profile with hints of blackcurrant and green apple notes. There’s no food here, but that’s fine since you can get ‘em at nearby options.
Limited outdoor seats are available, so you can chill here while waiting for your order. You can even strike up a conversation with the owner if there aren’t many customers around.
Must-try items: Black; white; mocha
How much: Drinks from $4.50
Opening hours: Weekdays, 8.30am to 4pm
Address: 115 Amoy Street, Singapore

Maxi Coffee Bar
The greater Ann Siang Hill area is alive again, thanks to Maxi Coffee Bar’s triumphant return to the enclave. There’s no direct route to get to the cafe – you’ll have to climb down a flight of stairs to get to the entrance, but you’ll be rewarded with delicious coffee aromas.
Maxi’s biggest claim to fame is its iced cereal milk latte ($8), so we had to get it again to make sure it’s still top-tier. Well, we’re happy to report that nothing has changed. Some acidity peeked through during the first few sips, before we tasted the cherry notes. The combination of fruity and creamy made the latte an enjoyable drink.
We got the kaya butter toast ($8) to accompany our drink, and it felt like biting into a fluffy cloud. The bun was soft with a hint of sweetness, stuffed with generous portions of kaya and butter slabs. The price is a bit steep for a beloved local breakfast (damn you, inflation), but we’ll let it slide… just a little. If toast isn’t your thing, you can get other light bites like muffins or go for something more substantial like the tuna melt sandwich ($15).
Those who’ve been to the previous Maxi Coffee Bar will be glad to know the new digs are more spacious. We like the filter bar with counter seating, which allows customers to get a VIP view of how their food and drinks are prepared. The indoor dining tables are pretty close to one another, so be mindful if you plan to pop by in a group. (We saw someone with earplugs on, which is a smart thing to do.)
Must-try items: Ice cereal milk latte; kaya butter toast; tuna melt
How much: Food from $8; drinks from $5
Opening hours: Tuesdays to Fridays, 8am to 4pm and weekends, 9am to 4pm
Address: 64 Club Street, Singapore 069438
Wildseed Cafe
For a dose of nature and hearty grub, make haste to Wildseed Cafe’s newest outlet nestled in the Singapore Botanic Gardens. Tucked away behind verdant foliage, the garden-inspired space feels like a calm retreat – especially if you’ve spent the morning clocking in your 10,000 steps in the park. Choose between the comfy indoor seating area, or alfresco dining if you’re pining for more sunshine. Furry friends are welcome here, so feel free to bring them along.
If you’re familiar with the Wildseed Cafe concept, you’ll be no stranger to its offerings with local infusions and wellness touches. Try the cafe’s signature dishes, including the atas kaya toast ($11), a reimagined local classic with sourdough and sous vide egg; the soft shell chilli crab linguine ($28) doused in a sweet-spicy sauce; and the kelong prawn and scallop pizza ($32). None of the dishes really stood out, but we’d say the generous portions are great for sharing.
The highlight of the meal turned out to be the desserts. The outlet-exclusive acai fruit bowl ($18) first surprised us with how aesthetically pleasing it looked, before it had us shovelling spoonful after spoonful of refreshing acai sorbet, fresh fruits and crunchy granola.
For cakes (from $13), get the black sesame petite cake if you like your flavours intense, or the strawberry shortcake for a fruity, cream-laden sweet treat. Unfortunately, the signature brews were nothing to write home about. You might have better luck with the tea, juices, mocktails and cocktails. (Review by Yuki Ling, Senior Branded Content Writer)
Must-try items: Soft shell chilli crab linguine; kelong prawn and scallop pizza; acai fruit bowl
How much: Food from $9; desserts from $5; drinks from $4
Opening hours: Daily, 7.30am to 10pm
Address: Level 1, The Garage, Singapore Botanic Gardens, 50 Cluny Park Road, Singapore 257488
Cafe Nesuto
Fresh off its opening at Ion Orchard, Cafe Nesuto has opened the doors to its second outlet at Marina Bay Sands. The location promises plenty of sunshine and a view of the bayfront space, so you can enjoy a relaxed dining experience in the city.
It’s a slightly different menu here, featuring outlet-exclusive dishes and savoury items. But don’t worry, some beloved favourites make an appearance too. We loved the breakfast platter ($32), which is packed with maple-glazed bacon, scrambled eggs, butter beans, and sourdough toast. It’ll definitely keep you full for a good few hours!
Prefer to keep things light? The chocolate banana crumble tart ($16) is a must-order. Fresh bananas, housemade miso caramel, chocolate streusel… if you can’t tell, we’re still salivating over the sweet treat! The pandan coconut kaya butter French toast ($19) is also another clear winner. Fluffy brioche and generous portions of kaya and cold butter are the best combination, while the sea salt flakes add a fascinating twist.
Must-try items: The breakfast platter; chocolate banana crumble tart; pandan coconut kaya butter French toast
How much: Food from $12; drinks from $6; desserts from $7
Opening hours: Mondays to Thursdays, 10am to 10pm, Fridays & Saturdays, 8am to 11pm and Sundays, 8am to 10pm
Address: #01-87, The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands, 2 Bayfront Avenue, Singapore 018972

Postboy Coffee
An adorable mascot, a gorgeous blue shade, and wooden accents – three things that made us fall in love with Postboy Coffee. Located within Enabling Village’s I’mable Collective Space, this inclusive cafe employs and showcases works by persons with disabilities. The aim is to train and prepare the community for future employment opportunities.
We’re in awe of the space, which takes up the entire second floor. There are booth seats and proper dining spots, with power sockets so you can charge your phone or catch up on work while sipping coffee. Check out the retail space, which stocks tees and stickers, and display shelves featuring paper bags in the iconic blue hue. Visitors are invited to a round of self-reflection by filling in a postcard and mailing it to their future self.
The menu features the usual caffeinated suspects, from Americano ($4.50) to iced Spanish latte ($7). Not feeling a brew? There are non-coffee options like lemonade ($5), iced matcha strawberry latte ($8.50), and tea ($5). Food options are limited to bakes and waffles – enough to tide you over till it’s time for a proper meal. We recommend getting the triple chocolate cookie if it’s available. Perfect for dunking into your matcha or coffee! Otherwise, the PBJ waffle ($9.50) is a lovely substitute.
Must-try items: Matcha strawberry latte; triple chocolate cookie; PBJ waffle
How much: Food from $6.90; drinks from $4
Opening hours: Daily, 10am to 6pm
Address: #02-01, Enabling Village (Vista Block), 20 Lengkok Bahru, Singapore 159053

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it necessary to make a reservation?
Walk-ins are the norm. However, if a cafe is located on a rooftop, in a heritage building, or has gone viral on social media, they will almost always have a Linktree or booking platform in their Instagram bio.
What is a soft launch and what should I expect?
A soft launch (or soft opening) is a trial period where the café opens to the public before its official grand opening. During this time, there might be a limited menu while the kitchen finds its rhythm, and staff are still in training so expect slightly longer wait times for your latte art or brunch plates.
Are new cafes always expensive?
While specialty coffee carries a premium, prices have stabilised. A black coffee typically ranges from $5 to $7, while white coffee is around $6 to $9. Signature brunch mains usually fall between $18 and $28. Look out for weekday or lunch sets at new CBD spots, which often bundle a sandwich and coffee for a better deal.
How do new cafes deal with dietary restrictions?
Modern Singaporean cafes are very progressive. Oat and soy milk are now standard at 95% of new openings (usually for a $1 top-up). You'll also see a rise in gluten-free alternatives and keto-friendly plaates. Always check the digital menu as it often has clear icons for vegan (V) or nut-free (NF) options.
What's the best way to give feedback?
In the age of social media, many new owners prefer a direct message on Instagram for private constructive feedback. However, for a soft launch spot, don't be surprised if the founder or head barista stops by your table to ask, "How was the acidity of the bean?" or "Is the pastry too sweet?" They genuinely want to improve before the official launch, so honest, face-to-face feedback is highly valued.
