Top organic cafes in Singapore
1. Afterglow
For a healthy food experience, head to Afterglow. This Keong Saik cafe’s mission is straightforward: to make vegetables “sexy” again. We’d say they’ve hit the nail on its head. On the menu is an array of satiating yet delish vegetarian dishes made with fresh, non-processed and eco-friendly produce. Our favourite picks are the raw crispy lasagne, cheesy cauliflower bites and Mediterranean tahini for salads.
Afterglow, 24 Keong Saik Road, Singapore 089131
2. Genius Central
Genius Central is much more than just a cafe. It’s also a platform for entrepreneurs to collaborate. One of their ventures is a highly plant-based organic-where-possible cafe. With a strong belief in providing food closest to nature, you’ll have your taste buds coming back for more with the array of delicious and healthy dishes here. Try the holey guacamole, happiness bowl or the Norwegian salmon for mains. Don’t forget to end your hearty experience with raw bar desserts like vegan chocolate mud cake and apple vanilla muffin.
Genius Central, #01-01, Far East Square, 7-13 Amoy Street, Singapore 049949
3. Kitchen by Food Rebel
Food Rebel advocates knowing what goes into your body and the origins of food. They preach the 80/20 rule, where the outweighing percentage involves only eating real, unprocessed food. Pop by the 40-seater space in the afternoon for a healthier lunch. Order up the nutrient-rich Buddha bowls or hot mains of sustainable barramundi and chilli padi chicken rebel sandwiches made with gluten-free bread.

4. Real Food
You can’t think of organic cafes in Singapore without thinking of Real Food. This health food institution is one of the island’s OG of clean eats. These guys take their food seriously – dishes do not contain pre-cooked, processed food, or pre-cut ingredients, and are made with produce painstakingly sourced from farmers and raw food producers. Our favourite location’s the one at Orchard Central – the sprawling space contains 250 seats, a grocery section, and plush seating if you need a little respite.

5. The Living Cafe
Joined at the hip with holistic wellness centre Balanced Living, The Living Cafe serves up a massive menu of raw and unprocessed organic foods at affordable prices. There are plenty of mains to be had, but leave some space for dessert. The raw blueberry cheesecake and forest acai bowl (made with fresh seasonal fruit, chia seeds, cacao nibs and nuts) are must-tries.

6. Mahota
Mahota prides itself on being a “gathering of goodness”. Here, it’s all about growing good food, serving up good meals and stocking only good ingredients from its farm – where only certified organic vegetables, herbs and grains are served. Pop by for lunch at the kitchen for Italian fusion fare (made with greens and organic free-range meats), or the pantry for an organic cuppa with a slice of coconut cake.

No meat and all plant – choose from options like char-grilled satay burger and smokey BBQ with a minced mushroom patty. The artisanal buns are locally sourced and made with organic whole grain.

8. Mother Dough
Got a thing for bread? You’ll love this quaint little bakery. We’ve been following Mother Dough at pop-ups and were pretty excited when they opened a sweet new bakery and cafe at North Bridge Road. Their artisanal breads are handcrafted with organic flour sourced from environmentally-conscious grain millers. Bite into that buttery croissant knowing you’ve done good.
