Nothing much to complain about this cafe, except for its long waiting time and no reservation is allowed. The signature avocado eggs Benedict ($15) was my favorite and not forgetting their full Monty big breakfast ($15) unfortunately I'm not a coffee lover but totally loving the iced latte here!

Just opened in the Bedok Reservoir neighbourhood is a new petrol station-themed cafe serving great and very affordable brunch. Staying true to their name and theme, menu items have theme-specific names such as 'Full Tank', 'Fill Me Up' and 'Refuel Pancakes'. Their chill cafe space also allows diners a true refueling experience away from the busy city. Start with the Full Tank ($13.90) or Banana Pancakes ($8.90), and get the White & Black Chocolate Tart with vanilla/ chocolate ice cream for dessert! According to Tastemaker Xing Wei, 'This was literally a slice from chocolate heaven.'

Rabbit Owl Depot is a small cafe opposite National Library that serves artisan ice-cream and buttermilk waffles. Please read my review at www.hungryghost.sg

After more than a year of wanting to try Third & Sixth Bistro Bar, I finally managed to drag a few friends along with me to sample their offerings. Now, the only question is why it took me so long.

Their eponymously named No. 36 burger ($14) is beautifully crafted from a high quality beef patty that's tastefully thick and grilled to a cool pink medium rare (note to self: ask for it to be cooked medium the next time), followed up by a pile of strikingly sweet caramelized onions being laid atop the beef. A slice of cheddar cheese is then melted to marry the onions and beef together, followed up by two smoky rashers of bacon which are sensually draped atop the whole affair before the meaty menagerie is entombed by crusty, toasted multigrain buns.

The patty itself is a party in your mouth, due to it being superbly seasoned and tantalizingly juicy, before the creaminess of the cheddar and the savoriness and smokiness of the bacon elevates this beautiful beefy patty right into burger bliss. The bun is rather subjective, as one of my friends found it a bit too crusty for his liking while I personally enjoyed the crustier texture which contrasts well with the soft texture of the minced beef patty. Do note that the burgers are standalone, and the sides of fries come separately. And in all honesty, $10 for sweet potato fries and another $10 for shoestring fries with truffle mayonnaise on the side is kind of exorbitant.

Surprisingly, Third & Sixth was very quiet for a Saturday night, and service was excellent. In fact, the supervisor even had ample time to recommend us beers to go with our burgers, and the differences between Thatcher ciders. Overall, this Bistro is a choice venue to get your burger and boozing on at.

Desserts from the set lunch menu; Trio of Flowers is made of Osmantnus & Chrysanthemum Granita with Elderflower Jelly; a pretty refreshing palate cleanser that was not in any bit boring especially with the floral scent hitting right on the spot and the elderflower jelly providing a tasteful touch of sourness that helps to give the dessert a contrast. Strawberry Cheesecake is the signature of Wild Rocket that is absolutely luxurious; cream cheese and digestive biscuits, macerated strawberries and a really seductive Maple Walnut ice-cream — classic Strawberry cheesecake elements thrown together in a martini glass for a deconstructed form which is pretty hard to explain how good it is for they had tweaked a few of the ingredients, which makes their signature item a real signature apart from the rest.

Set in the foyer of The Working Capitol, this cosy cafe serves up crepes and coffee in a spacious, quiet environment — perfect for a light meal with a good book, a business meeting, or getting some work done. If you're here for dessert, go straight for sweet crepes like Yuzu Butter ($12), served with Yuzu-infused Bordier butter and sugar, or the Chocolate ($12), served with chocolate pearls and Valrhona chocolate sauce. For something savoury, try a galette (unlike crepes, this is made with buckwheat flour). The Smoked Salmon ($18) with Scottish smoked salmon, capers, a crumbled hardboiled egg and homemade creme fraiche is a tasty choice. The coffee (from $3.50), made with Papa Palheta coffee beans, is a good option if you're in need of a caffeine hit, but the interesting Homemade Ginger Beer with Honey ($7) with its punchy ginger flavour will instantly lift your spirits!

Just across from Fluff Bakery is The Lab, a Muslim-owned cafe with an experimental menu that ranges from burgers to bao sliders and milkshakes. Come if you're craving for a burger meal with your friends in a relaxed setting. Don't miss the standout Burger Stack ($17) — a juicy homemade beef patty topped with portobello mushroom and melted cheese, sandwiched between two toasty buns. It also comes with a side of mixed sweet potato and potato fries which you must dip in the Danish blue cheese aioli. If you must have ketchup with your fries, know that it's playfully served in a mini plastic beaker (that we secretly want to keep). Vegan options are available as well. Try the Porto Peanut Burger ($13), that comes with a juicy portobello mushroom, topped with The Lab's chunky peanut gravy, onions and cucumbers. Complete your experience with their Iced Cappuccino ($6), which comes served in a beaker of warm milk and syringe of espresso.

Situated within the hilly area of Phoenix Park in Tanglin, this sun-lit, minimalist space is shared between a cafe and boutique. The latter stocks a selection of curated accessories and knick knacks, while the cafe serves delicious brunch grub. Its quiet, charming ambience makes it the perfect spot for a late morning date. On a breezy day, opt to sit alfresco at their wooden patio to be surrounded by lush greenery as you dine. Like many Burpplers, we like the Triple B ($21), a big breakfast that sees scrambled eggs, sausages, sauteed mushrooms, honey-glazed bacon, fresh greens and a housemade miniature croissant, all heaped on a plate. The Smoked Salmon Croissant ($19) is tasty too, and served with a generous pile of fresh greens on the side. Note that the croissant is sliced into thick chunks that make them more manageable to eat with your eggs and salmon. We'll skip the underwhelming coffee and go for the refreshing Ice Lychee Tea ($5.50) instead. Pro-tip: Unless you have a car, the uphill walk to Boufe will take you 15 minutes from the nearest bus stop. Consider cabbing in to avoid getting all sweaty on your date.

This humble Arab Street cafe serves up hearty mains that are big on flavour. Seating is limited, so come with two friends at most. Try the Beef Shashuka ($22.90), a boldly flavoured one-pan meal featuring chunks of slow-roasted boneless beef ribs instead of the usual mince. For something lighter but no less punchy, try the Mexican Chicken Salad with Guacamole ($14.90) — tender chargrilled chicken kebabs served with fantastic guacamole and fresh greens. The Smashed Fetta Avocado on Toast with lemon and fresh mint ($8.90) makes for a simple and refreshing breakfast; pay $11.90 to get the breakfast deal with coffee, which is excellent, or spice up your morning java fix with the Breakfast Bong ($9.90), a very unique concoction that combines avocado, espresso and vanilla.

This whitewashed, light-filled cafe along Upper Thomson Road is perpetually buzzy, drawing in the crowds with its Instagrammable dishes and hipster vibes. Pacamara Boutique Coffee Roasters is a joint venture between Thailand's Pacamara Coffee and Oz Specialty Coffee, so you can expect great coffee alongside tasty food. Come with friends and start by nibbling on some Truffle Fries ($8). The menu has been revamped recently, so save space to try the amazing brunch grub like the Ocean Mac & Cheese ($18.90) — oven baked pasta with chunks of crab meat and prawns, topped with smoked salmon. We also like the Duck Confit Hash ($20.90) — shredded duck leg confit on top of rosti, mushrooms, poached eggs and drizzled with hollandaise sauce. Come night time, the menu sees more proteins and pastas, like the irresistible Steak Frites ($25) with truffle hollandaise sauce. Wash it all down with a cup of Iced Thai Coffee ($6) or a bottle or two of craft beers (from $10.90). Pacamara does not take reservations so come early to avoid a long wait.

Eastsiders, there's no need to travel all the way to Upper Thomson for One Man Coffee's dependable, affordable brunch that never disappoints. This second outlet is conveniently located at MyVillage, and like its Thomson outlet, is also within Crust Gourmet Pizza Bar. Seats are limited, so come early to snag a spot if you're coming for a meal. This makes for a great coffee pit stop too — a Piccolo ($4) with an extra shot ($1) for an instant boost. We're happy to share that the standards are consistent, so you can be assured that their signature Gashouse Egg with Bacon Jam ($10) will be just as impressive here. This simple breakfast dish of thick brioche with a runny egg in the middle is blanketed with melted cheese and served with a side of salty-sweet bacon jam. The Big Brekkie ($15) is also excellent — two poached eggs placed on sourdough rye, served with a side of superbly candied bacon, roasted cherry tomatoes, button mushrooms and baby spinach. End your meal on a sweet note with the Brioche French Toast ($10), probably one of the most pocket-friendly in Singapore. According to Burppler Jocelyn Wong, the Caramelised Bananas and Salted Caramel version with its glorious salted caramel sauce is "worth every single bit of my calories"!

In a cafe scene where retro is often synonymous with kitschy, Dong Po Colonial Cafe is a rare find. Furnished in rustic wood and with tables that showcase memorabilia reflecting old Singapore, the retro vibes feel genuine and not at all contrived. Nestled in the Kampong Glam enclave, this breezy, relaxed space is great for catching up with friends over traditional bakes like Almond Fingers ($1.90), Chicken Cornish Pie ($3.20) and a variety of sliced loaf cakes ($1.20). They also offer seven different toast and pastry sets (from $3.50). For something different try the Bostock ($3.50 with tea or coffee) — toast topped with frangipane, sliced almonds and icing sugar. Wash it down with the accompanying cup of teh or kopi. It's also a nice place to bring your parents to on a lazy weekend!
