Penny University, East Coast Road
I am positively addicted to the delightful coffee and Turkish eggs served at Penny. This is simply the best value for money brunch spot I have found. Mornings are quite busy with a relatively long wait time so I recommend that you get there early like we do, right after an early morning badminton game or run.
Budget: SGD 10-15/ head with Coffee
Green favorites: Turkish eggs with Greek Yogurt and Harissa, Eggs Florentine, French Toast, Waffles with Berries
Brew: Muddy Espresso, Cappucino
Wild Honey, New Mandarin Gallery
If you fancy shopping after a satisfying weekend brunch, Wild Honey is your place for a beautiful all-day breakfast. The menu has a range of sweet, savory, bubbly and fruity delights to pick from. Special vegetarian dishes spanning Turkish, Mexican and Gluten Free will keep you coming back for more. Common Man Coffee Roasters Brew is served here.
Budget: SGD 25-30/ head with coffee
Green Favorites: Mexican, Ottoman, Flinders Lane
