“ This place is awesome. Hip, but not pretentious with excellent service and great coffee. The pineapple smoothy was divine. The food was also very good. We had the French toast, the fruit salad, and the avocado toast with poached eggs. Can't wait to go there on a weekend and have the weekend-only specials. ”

“ Very cool off coffee/breakfast shop near Clarke Quay. The coffee artwork is precision done and everything was very tasty. The general place has a relaxed vibe that lets you melt in and enjoy. ”

“ Great spot for brunch. Friendly staff and tasty food. Smashed avocado on toast with poached eggs were amazing. ”

“ This was an unexpected find, was planning to go to another bookmarked brunch place, but they didn't have as many egg options as i wanted. So found this place close to our place with decent reviews and went to check it out. Reached at noon (bad time to go for brunch on a weekend) and the place was packed to the seams. Had to wait 30 mins for a table, but the waft of food coming from inside was delicious. The wait was worth it. I got the weekender breakfast - smoked salmon over thick toast with roe and two large perfectly poached eggs. Hit the spot! Wife got the smashed avocado with sourdough which was excellent and they certainly don't skimp on the avocado like certain other places. The cappuccino and tea latte we got were exceptional as well. But the star of the day was the tiramisu, hell, I'll come back just for that. One of the few places in Singapore that I'll be returning to for sure. ”

“ Latte was high quality/upper tier. Pancakes were delicious and egg/avo/toast thing was really good! outdoor seating in back was really quiet/private. ”

“ The atmosphere is great on a Sunday morning, with a bustling and happy crowd. The food is fresh and tasty, and the serving portion on the The Weekender Egg is very generous. The Long Black has excellent flavour. The service staff are very attentive and polite. And they have Apple Pay ! ”

“ This is a gorgeous little spot. The staff are lovely, coffee perfect and food thoughtfully made and presented. It was so good we went twice in one day. First for brunch, I had already eaten so just had a soya chai and the must delicious cookie. My husband had the smashed avocado with poached eggs and grilled lemon on toast which looked and tasted great. We then returned for a very early dinner just before they closed at 6pm because we wanted to try the prawn and scallop pasta. It was worth it. The herbs and garlic in the sauce were perfectly balanced and the seafood cooked with the nice crispy crust, only available on week days. Punch runs like an engine with every staff member knowing their function but also able to fill in any gaps that appear. There are many other items on the menu to try and I hope we get time to go back before we take off. ”

“ Pretty good café located pretty much away from the hipster enclave of tiong bahru, duxton hill and outram park area. The sister café of Ronin is much brighter with an almost pastel color interior, less stuffy, lots of natural light, an open kitchen with suction / ventilation system that works and a big "green" wall at the outdoor seating area. The café exudes a relaxing vibe unlike the more "gothic" sister (Ronin) located just a short walk away. Punch is located exactly opposite Kreta Ayer Neighbourhood Police Station and about 50 meters away from Dehesa (previously Communal). If you're coming alone or with one or two friends, getting a table is not that difficult but if you're in a group of six and above, it is better to book in advance. The kind folks will hold your table until 11am, before releasing to whoever comes first. The past weekend, I organized a brunch meetup with fellow yelpers and had a good meal here. The 10 of us ordered almost everything in the menu including the 2 specials. My poached eggs with mashed avocado was pretty good with nicely poached eggs sitting on top 2 slices of sourdough with a side of burnt lemon for that "earthy" taste. The portion is perfect for one and just right when you washed down with a cuppa joe, in my case, I chose my favorite chai latte. While some suggest that the chai latte could be more "milky" and the spices be more pronounced, I like the way it is. With our ever warm Singapore weather, I like my chai to me on the "lighter" side and less milky. It's just a personal preference and it works for me. I took a small bite of my friend's earl grey pancakes with poached pear drenched in chocolate sauce and it was really good and addictive. Again, not too big of a portion for one. While I hope the team could come up with a more extensive brunch menu (currently only 7 items), that's not entirely a bad thing. That means the young budding chefs know their ability and only want to concentrate on a few items they do best rather than an ambitious menu while delivering a mediocre fare. If the usual waffles, porridge and eggs benny doesn't fancy you, then check with the friendly staff on the weekly specials. Staffs are friendly and our glass of water are always filled. While we try to milk a complimentary salted caramel brownie by singing birthday song to me, it was a birthday that I don't even know! And if you wonder, we failed in the attempt. The salted caramel brownie comes with a price tag of $5. If there's one thing that puts me off is the price that is perhaps, a tad higher than your usual cafe. But then, it's Singapore where you're expected to fork out extra at a slightly better establishment. I'm definitely coming back to check out their dinner one of these days. Punch is a solid 3.5 star, round up to 4. Good stuff ”

“ We visited the sister cafe of Ronin and The Plain on a Saturday afternoon. If not for the fact that my friend is a frequent visitor, I won't have been able to find the place due to the lack of visible signage. We shared the coffee, poached eggs with avocado, poached eggs with salmon and earl grey pancakes amongst the two of us. Food was unexpectedly delicious! Being an avocado fan, I was more than pleased to see a generous serving of avocado on my sourdough toast. It was a pity the toast was too hard. The brioche that came with the salmon was perfect, thankfully, and felt very Japanese with the ikura. Servings were satisfying for the eggs but the pancakes were on the smaller side, which may not suffice for big eaters. It reminded me of McDonalds hotcakes in looks but more delectable. The coffee was decent but a little sour for my liking. I will definitely be back for the food. ”
