Slow Bakes

Old school brews with sprawling park views—a combination no one asked for but very much needed. The sanctuary-like coffee shop finds a home in the heartlands of Yishun and puts forth unpretentious cups of Nanyang roasts that are just as good as the stalwarts. There’s also a tea selection and a masala chai to tickle the buds for some proper sourdough bakes. But if you’re one to keep to the theme of tradition, opt for the kaya toast that comes with a thick smear of kaya—handmade using freshly squeezed coconut milk. Even the soft-boiled eggs, using fresh barn-laid eggs, make for slurp-worthy accompaniments so don’t skimp on that.
