This is our third visit. So far our favourite cafe along Joo Chiat Rd. We have had the carbonara, pesto, caprese, croffle and coffee. Not a fan of lavender coffee but it’s my taste buds. But all other food have been good and consistent. I think this place deserves more customers. Usually quiet on weekday afternoons.

Weekday lunch. Somehow their laksa pasta (only the gravy and pasta) is nice, but the prawns and mussels are either undercooked or not so fresh. Didnt finish what we ordered, poached eggs on avocado toast were cold. Avocado was already brownish. As clarified with staff, they soak in iced water after poaching. Really meh?

Whether you're craving traditional flavours or a fusion twist, this hidden gem is a must-visit. We tried the Singaporean-Italian pasta dishes and they were outstanding. The Soft Shell Crab Rigatoni was perfectly al dente with a rich, savory sauce that had just the right amount of kick. The crab was fried to perfection—super crunchy. The Seafood Laksa Pasta was the highlight; the broth was creamy and aromatic even by traditional standards, packed with fresh mussels, prawns, and a perfectly jammy soft-boiled egg. It’s rare to find fusion that respects both cuisines this well. Great vibes and even better food!

I visited Staple food cafe twice and loved their food. Iced pistachio latte was too good with real pistachios. Better than other cafes. My favourites were avocado toast( the pesto added a nice touch) and the hearty breakfast. Not a fan of laksa but it was very cost effective as they had a promo with drinks. Overall, high quality food for good pricing. Will definitely continue to visit. And it’s halal friendly too. Very friendly owner and chef, accommodating any requests made.

A brilliant find just by chance. Lovely family owned business, wonderful service from Yiting, who was also extremely accommodating. Highly recommend the Cookie Monster Croffle (croissant/waffle) and Singapore soft shell crab pasta - both absolutely incredible! Great experience. I wish you great success, keep doing what you love!
