GUIDE: Good cafes in Novena and Newton to visit in Singapore



1) Les Ristrettos at Novena Medical Centre

This cafe is a hidden gem located at Level 8 of Novena Medical Centre. I mean you won't know about this cafe unless you did some research on cafes in Novena or you're there to see a specialist doctor? Right?

They have limited indoor seating so I chosen to sit outside. Don't worry as the seating outside is sheltered! Still feel the heat though!

Address: 10 Sinaran Drive #08-37 Novena Medical Centre Singapore 307506
Opening Hours: Mon - Fri 8am - 6pm
Sat 8am - 2pm
Closed on Sunday 






2) Joe & Dough Cafe at Square 2

Joe & Dough was founded in 2009 with the dream to deliver the best coffee and sandwich experience to many people.It is another one of the cafes that i visited recently with free WIFI! I think i can have another list of wifi cafes already. They are also frequented by office workers nearby as well.

Anyways, Joe and Dough is known for their coffee and gourmet sandwiches. Their coffee comes from the best quality Arabica beans.They also serves cakes and all-day breakfasts.

3) Take 2 Cafe at Novena

Take 2 Cafe is sells local old school delights in a hipster setting. The menu consists of local food such as Mee Hoon Kway, Lor Mee and Nasi Lemak. It is basically hawker food in a much atas setting. :) Just make your order at the counter and collect once it is ready.

Address: 159 Thomson Road 
Goldhill Centre, Thomson Road, Novena (NS20), Central, Singapore 307612, 
Opening Hours: Monday - Saturday 8.00am to 8.00pm 















4) Craftsmen Specialty Coffee at Novena

My friend wanted to meet me for dinner the other day so i suggested this cafe called Craftsmen Specialty Coffee which is located at Novena. It's situated beside United Square and also  near to Udders. It was a weekday night but the cafe isn't crowded at that time. I think it must be because of the location and also the time i went there to eat. I was there around 7pm.

Address: 173 Thomson Rd, 307623
Opening Hours: Sunday - Thursday 8am - 9pm
Friday - Saturday 8am - 10.30pm 









5) The Clueless Goat at Novena

Visited this cafe for breakfast when i had my off day. Had to go for a dental appointment straight after this. Not sure what kind of theme they had going on in the cafe with that 'name' and also it is not really spacious. They also do not accept NETS/credit card payment so i had to go somewhere else to withdraw cash. Oh well.. i didn't have enough cash with me. Anyways, besides that i find that they had really affordable pricing for their food.

You can order usual brunch items like Ranchers Eggs for $8 and Eggs Benedict for $11.80.

Address: 189 Thomson Rd, Singapore 307631
Opening Hours: Tues - Thurs & Sun 8am - 6pm
Fri - Sat 8am - 9pm



6) Professor Brawn Cafe at Novena

Business with a Cause – when you dine at our café you are supporting Social Enterprises like us to fulfil a social mission of providing employment & social integration opportunities to Persons with Disabilities (PWDs).

I feel like it's quite meaningful that they hire people with disabilities and provide them with opportunities. This is a very good rehabilitation for them as they can interact with people and to show them they can live normally. :)

  Opening Hours: 11.30am - 9.30pm daily







7) Kitchenette at Novena

Decided to continue my novena/newton food hunt, so i came to Kitchenette for lunch. It's a bottleshop, bakery and bistrot in one. First impression of the place is that it is rather small and dark with minimal lighting and there's a full wall of bottles of wine. Guess people can come at night for a drink or something since they close at 10pm. Their staffs were friendly and attentive but waiting for food is rather long. Do note that they only accept cash or masters/visa. No nets.

Address: 1 Goldhill Plaza, Singapore 308899
Opening Hours: 8:30am - 10pm daily















8) Memento Patisserie Cafe at Newton, Carnhill Community Club

Went to menmento patisserie cafe for desert and also to leech on their free WIFI. Turns out that they do not have their own WIFI but then you can log on to wireless@SG. The cafe is rather quiet after lunch hours with random om/ol popping by for deserts and coffee. Skiving during working hours?

The cafe is super spacious and they have put up simple decorations to spiced up their space. While it is a an ideal place to work on your assignments or study. they could have more food varieties and desert options for people to choose from.

Address: Carnhill Community Club, 1 Anthony Rd, Singapore 229944
Opening Hours: 10am - 8pm daily




9) Now Noodles+ at Novena Square 2

Since the social media is raving about the mee tai mak with century egg, i have decided to drop by now noodles+ to try it out! Now Noodles+ is located at square 2.

The mee tai mak is well-cooked but i felt that the spiciness is too overpowering. It is like all i'm tasting is the chili. It does provide that extra kick for chili lovers but it's a no-no for me as i can't handle food that is too spicy! And it tastes the same with or without the century egg. lol It is also super overpriced at $9.80. They also offer dry mee siam, vegetarian mee goreng and heng hwa noodle soup at the same price.

Address: #02-65 Square 2, 10 Sinaran Drive, 307506, Square 2, 307506
Opening Hours: 11am - 9pm daily
