A bright room where nobody rushes you.

The room does most of the talking: bare concrete columns, an oak counter, a brushed-chrome bar, copper pendant lamps and greenery, and windows that stay bright until late afternoon. We took our cues from the cafes we loved in Seoul — calm, spare, more daylight than decor.

We are off Yio Chu Kang Road, a few bus stops from Serangoon MRT. The room has served the neighbourhood since 2020 — regulars may remember it as Urban Table. Brunch runs all day, there is an in-house bakery, and walk-ins are always fine.
