We’ve all experienced it before. You happily go to a cafe and order your eggs benedict and artisan coffee. But when the bill comes, along with it comes a whole bunch of extra charges and you end up paying way more than expected. Not cool.

Address: 78 Horne Road, Singapore 209078
This unique cafe was first featured in our list of 18 Most Delicious Restaurants Under 15 Dollars. They serve beautiful looking, and incredible tasting sweet pies. If that isn’t enough, the cafe itself is also totally adorably decorated.

Mean Bean and Wicked Grind (MBWG) is another unique cafe where the menu changes every single week. (Nope you did not read that wrong). The owner believes in keeping things fresh by switching up suppliers. Don’t you love people who are dedicated to what they do?

This cafe specialises in serving raw food. Yup that’s right. A lot of the items on the menu aren’t heated above 48 degrees Celsius and the ingredients aren’t processed or chemically altered. Your body will be thanking you after a meal at this cafe.

Wheeler’s Yard is super unique because not only is it located in a warehouse, its also the site of a bicycle workshop. I could go on forever about how awesome this place is but I suggest you read Si Min’s Review of Wheeler’s Yard instead.

If you’re looking for top quality coffee then look no further. The people at Assembly pride themselves on being part of the third wave coffee movement. I honestly have no idea what that means but hey, the coffee here is so good, it almost doesn’t even matter.

With a name like Department of Caffeine you know that the people at this joint take their coffee and tea very seriously so don’t be expecting anything for the faint hearted. Food wise, they regularly change up their menus so no two trips here will be the same.

Real Food is known as an indie cafe, free from health and food associations, institutes or ministries. The crew here is dedicated to serving the best quality food, promising nothing pre-packaged or processed. They prepare and serve only slow food because they believe quality food takes time.

If you’re one of those people whose got a huge sweet tooth (guilty!) then you’ll love this joint. Its got a whole lot of sugary delights including a wide array of cakes and plenty of other desserts. If you’re not a huge dessert person, don’t go scratching this cafe off your list just yet, they’ve got salads and sandwiches too!

I, like virtually every other human being on the planet, love Italian food. One Italian dish is often overlooked though, and that’s Panini. Its Italy’s version of a sandwich and the Black and White Caffe Bar is the spot to get your Panini fix in Singapore.

Look past the vintage clothing stores in Haji Lane and the shisha places in Bali Lane and you’ll find plenty of awesome cafes. One of them is Working Title where you can enjoy your usual western fare amongst mismatched furniture and good vibes.
