More, more, more new cafes in Singapore! Cafe hop till you drop. After May’s posting on 20 new cafes, July’s entry on 25 more cafe hopping spots, the café culture is spreading almost like wildfire, and doesn’t seem to stop.
Do we have space for more? Perhaps. What I am seeing now are …
- Similar food appearing, think WAFFLES, fuss-free sandwiches, and more permutations with eggs ben. Egg bens are really getting boring.
- Same cakes supplied. Can be a good or bad thing. Good – you know what you are expecting, home bakers are getting some business; Bad, the lack of variety.
- New entries will find it a real big challenge to stand out from the rest.
- The ‘older’ new cafes (meaning 3-6 month) may find it hard to retain customers, because many just want to try the new next one out there.
- Off-springs from the successful ones, think Creamier, Wimbly Lu, Grub and Little Prince diversifying.
Here are 20 more new cafes in Singapore.

Finally we have a Teddy & Me café at Marina Square, conceptualised after Mr Bean and his favourite little brown bear friend Teddy.

The ice cream with no preservatives, no gum, no stabilizers, and less sugars used. Therefore, Seriously Ice Cream look ‘uglier’ the usual round creamy scoops. During my visit, interesting favours on display included Miso Gula Melaka, Strawberry Basil, Orange Crush, Strawberry Cheese, Yuzu Marmalade, to more localised Onde Onde, Horlicks and Teh C. Coffee is not their greatest strength. Well, there is always Nylon a few steps away.
