I love how they’ve got full length windows for the natural light to flow in for amazing photography, and allows you to people watch from inside the cafe, although the same window also make me feel extra conscious when I walk past the cafe.

With most of their dishes having generous serving sizes and priced in the region of S$10, you don’t feel ripped off like many other brunch cafes around the island. And they have solid quality food all-around – so far almost every single dish that we have tried is solid and delicious, barring the minor quirks here and there.

What constitutes a good salad is freshness and the dressing that goes along. Not only that, the ingredients chosen to mix with the veggie must be something that gives us the nutrition. Because people are getting more health conscious and this is one of the many healthier choices that they will choose. This salad is full of goodness especially that we finish up all. On diet lah. Or at least. Read full review at: https://iamstellachen.blogspot.sg/2016/05/kith-cafe.html

The cafe prides itself on its selection of 12 standards and four seasonal handmade gelato flavours. In addition to that, the brightly lit and cheerful interior of the cafe definitely draws you in. How did I find the Gecory? I was pretty impressed when the friendly staff introduced the various flavours and offered to let me try almost all the flavours. I really liked the Durian, Mint and Chocolate Lavender flavours, the last being a seasonal flavour.

But I’m drawn to a lot of things that radiates the word countryside. Housed in a glass house with a good a mixed commune/ causal rounds tables for those who love brunch under the Sun with a reasonably large green field off its porch. It’s pretty laid back, comfortable and inviting especially when their staffs are aware you might need an extra space for photography sake and gladly accommodate by pulling a clean table even when it was not requested. That’s the kind of cafe restaurant I like – Good environment + attentive service. Read full review at: http://thedessertprince.com/cafe-melba-goodman-arts-centre-singapore/
