Brunch in Singapore is mostly a café meal served all day, Tuesday to Sunday, while the champagne brunches of the big hotels are generally a Sunday affair.1 The spread is wide: as of May 2026 a brunch could cost anything from S$5 at a hawker centre to S$230 before service charge and tax at a hotel buffet.1

The all-day breakfast format took hold early. Wild Honey, started by the husband-and-wife team Guy Wachs and Stephanie Hancock, has served all-day breakfast and brunch since 2009, from a menu drawn on their travels, and its flagship is in Mandarin Gallery on Orchard Road.2 In May 2026 a meal there ran S$22–35.1

Local tip: At weekends, reach Atlas Coffeehouse on Duke's Road before 10:00, since it takes no reservations; Punch on North Canal Road is open from 08:00 every day.1

Where these cafés are: Novena, Thomson & the north (3), Bukit Timah (2), Orchard (2), Civic District & Bras Basah (2), Chinatown & Telok Ayer (1), CBD & Marina Bay (1), Tanjong Pagar, Duxton & Keong Saik (1), Little India & Jalan Besar (1).

What brunch costs in 2026

Café brunch sits between the two extremes. In May 2026 a meal at Common Man Coffee Roasters cost about S$18–28, and at Atlas Coffeehouse S$15–25 with coffee, where the hotcakes with passionfruit curd were S$19–22.1 Those menu prices come before service charge and GST.1

At Tolido's Espresso Nook on Crawford Lane, the 462 Prawn Laksa Pasta was S$18 and the Avo & Omega Rösti S$24 in October 2026, both with tax still to be added.3 Hotel champagne brunches are another budget: the popular ones sell out at weekends, and tables are best booked one to two weeks ahead.1
