1. Hellu Coffee

If you’re after something cosy and unfussy, Hellu Coffee delivers a warm, neighbourhood-style experience that feels refreshingly intimate. With a compact eight-seater indoor setup and pet-friendly outdoor seating, it’s the sort of place you’ll want to linger at, especially with a croffle and coffee in hand.

Their croffles are the highlight here, freshly prepared in limited batches each morning. Crisp on the outside and fluffy within, they come in savoury options like maple bacon, spicy tuna, and ham & cheese. Each bite strikes a lovely balance of buttery richness and light sweetness, with fillings generously spread throughout. You can also have them reheated for that just-out-of-the-oven texture.

Coffee-wise, they use a Brazil–India blend from Tiong Hoe Specialty Coffee, resulting in smooth, aromatic cups across their espresso-based menu. Beyond the classics, their Creamus series which are topped with house-made whipped cream adds a decadent twist. The iced matcha creamu in particular stands out for its pleasant bittersweet contrast.

1. Nice and chill spot. Friendly, smiley service staff and yummy creamy hot matcha creamu drink 😋 iI’s a secret recipe apparently 🧐 don’t mix the cream in and enjoy the different bits separately for a delicious drink. Recommended!

2. Located at Amoy Street, air conditioning area, easy access infront of toilet. Cafe gave an asthetic vibe. Coffee Matcha was so good and I will definitely return again. The croissant waffles taste good too. It goes well with the creamy matcha. Overall, it was a nice experience worth trying.

3. Small cozy cafe was went there before 5pm. Feels more a young vibe customer (maybe is a weekday). Had to make ur order n staff will arrange seats for u. (Had a service charge for dine in) They were all friendly and nice. Their matcha really is a hit wish there were medium n large size for all drinks. Even greet customer when we leave. Thanks for having us. Only found this cafe thru Google (last min) glad we came

2. The Wired Monkey

Now relocated to Amoy Street, The Wired Monkey continues to impress with its dedication to quality brews and easygoing charm. This compact spot leans more towards takeaway, but what it lacks in space, it more than makes up for in personality and consistency.

Coffee lovers will appreciate their use of Tiong Hoe Specialty Coffee beans, known for producing medium-bodied, flavourful profiles. Their long black is especially noteworthy—lightly acidic with a fragrant finish that isn’t overpowering. The piccolo is another solid choice, offering a well-balanced, smooth sip with just the right temperature and body.

Adding to the appeal is owner-barista Haslee, whose passion for coffee shines through in every cup. His friendly presence gives the place a personal touch, making it more than just your typical Amoy Street cafe stop. Beyond coffee, they also serve chai, matcha, and a thoughtful selection of teas for those looking to switch things up.

Business Reviews:

1. Please stop by if you get a chance. Even if you don’t, you should still come and try their coffee. Their coffee is soooo good. It’s one of the best I’ve had in Singapore.

2. The owner Has brings an amazing passion & knowledge of coffee to this fun little shop. I had an exceptional pour over with balanced fruit and wine flavors. We also enjoyed a espresso that brought nice complexity. Would highly recommend trying them out!

3. It was great for the long black. Not too heavy nor intense, but with lots of fragrance that’s fresh from the beans. Light acidic but not too much. The whole decoration are quite creative and making it very unique. Can feel the warmth and the passion that the shop owner is having, as well as carrying the brand name.

3. Mondo

Mondo brings a playful twist to Amoy Street with its gelato-forward concept and late-night hours. Open until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, it’s a great pick for dessert runs or casual evening hangouts. Inspired by global flavours, their gelato selection leans experimental. Think Honey Lavender, Blue Cheese & Candied Pear, and Marsala Wine Poached Figs. While these combinations may sound bold, they’re surprisingly well-executed. The Sicilian pistachio, for instance, offers a rich, nutty depth, while the blue cheese option is cleverly balanced with sweet pear notes.

If you prefer something lighter, their sorbets like Pineapple Makgeolli or Watermelon Mint deliver refreshing, tangy profiles. Beyond frozen treats, Mondo also serves cocktails and inventive floats from tap, such as yuzu-based mixes and coffee-infused creations, making it a versatile spot that transitions seamlessly from day to night.

Prices:

• Gelato & Sorbet
  • Single: $7
  • Double: $10

Business Reviews:

1. Visited awhile back the vibes were absolutely phenomenal! Loved how well-decorated it was, the playlist was awesome and the service was stellar. Their gelato is high-quality and flavours are unique too. Definitely worth a visit 🙂

2. Posh gelato spot with some signature ice cream cocktails. The gelato itself is excellent, some classics and some adventurous flavours. The one I picked had a strong pistachio flavour and a silky, creamy texture. Their cocktails also incorporate their sorbets, creating a really nice balance of sweetness and freshness. The seating area is loungy and elegant, making the whole place feel very polished and upscale.

3. A bougie gelato place that you would think is a cocktail bar with its plush interior deco and lounge music. It was a pleasant surprise for sure as I didn’t expect they sell gelatos. They had really unique gelato flavours and they are so so so delicious. I thought the prices were reasonable for $7 per scoop and $10 for double compared to many other shops out there. Will be back for more for sure!!

Brunch lovers can also look forward to options like açai bowls and smoked salmon bagels.

Pair your meal with their robust coffee or explore alternatives like kombucha and tea for a refreshing finish.

1. When looking for a good coffee but also need a healthy breakfast, this coffee shop delivers. Fresh salads, avocado toast and pastries. Highly recommend

2. What an incredible Singapore gem! We ate breakfast and cakes here both mornings we were in town and it was just perfect. The food was amazing and every cake we tasted were so decadent. The location and WiFi were super good too. Best of all was the service though! When we arrived the second day, the staff remembered us from the first day, and they gave us free dessert to celebrate our engagement. It was so unexpected and sweet, and we were so touched. Thank you again for an incredible time! We can not recommend enough!

3. Love coming to this outlet! The cupcakes were presented beautifully and there were many options to choose from. My favourites are the cinnamon, hazelnut, and carrot cupcakes 🧡 All the staff are always friendly and welcoming whenever I visit. I was served by Darryl today, who politely took my order and made sure everything was perfect. Really appreciate the great service and cheerful atmosphere — will definitely be back again soon!
