The city’s love affair with coffee, brunch, and Instagrammable interiors continues to evolve in 2025 — with new openings blending sustainability, design, and bold flavours. Whether you’re chasing a quiet corner to work, the perfect matcha latte, or your next TikTok-worthy brunch plate, here’s a roundup of the new cafés in Singapore worth your time and caffeine budget.
1. Le Matin Pâtisserie (Orchard Road)
A long-time favourite reborn, Le Matin’s new flagship at ION Orchard is where Parisian finesse meets Singapore flair. Expect their signature kouign-amann, buttery croissants, and elegant plated desserts. Pair that with slow-drip coffee and you’ve got the makings of a perfect afternoon indulgence.
Hot in SG tip: Book ahead for weekends — their pastries sell out by 2 PM.
2. Amber Ember 2.0 (Upper Serangoon)
The cult-favourite café has returned with a refreshed menu and interiors. Think creative jaffles stuffed with kimchi bacon, soft-serve coffee floats, and a bright new space perfect for mid-morning catchups.
Why it’s trending: Their aesthetic mirrors the modern “Scandi-retro” vibe loved by Gen Z brunchers — pastel tones, rattan chairs, and plenty of natural light.
3. Kurasu Singapore (Duxton Hill)
Japanese minimalist coffee culture lands in Duxton with Kurasu’s sleek new outlet. Espresso purists will love the single-origin Kyoto beans and ceremonial matcha. Every corner oozes calm — it’s the place to recharge between city meetings.
Hot in SG note: They offer workshops on Japanese coffee brewing and hand-drip techniques every Saturday.
4. Rye & Pint Café Lounge (Tampines)
This east-side gem brings together craft beer and artisanal coffee under one industrial-chic roof. Daytime is for oat-milk flat whites and breakfast burritos; nights transition into a casual taproom scene with house-brewed lagers.
Perfect for: Remote workers who want to blend productivity with pleasure.
5. Ground Culture (Tiong Bahru)
If sustainability is your 2025 mantra, Ground Culture will be your go-to. Everything from the cups to the counter is made from recycled or locally sourced materials. Their menu spotlights plant-based treats like banana-oat pancakes and vegan charcoal lattes.
Eco bonus: They give 10% off if you bring your own tumbler.
6. Bask & Brew Studio (Bukit Timah)
Combining ceramics and coffee, this hybrid café lets guests paint pottery while sipping artisanal brews. Great for date ideas, creative afternoons, or weekend unwinding. Their signature lavender-honey latte is already trending on TikTok.
