“ Nice place to chill! The ambience is good. The staff are friendly and helpful. The banana cake is soft and tastes great! The coffee is excellent. Highly recommended! ”
“ Love the vibe of this cafe. But, somehow find it overly priced for the breakfast options. Staff are very friendly. If you love the hot chocolate here, you must try the sun-kissed hot chocolate from the next door cafe called Tomo. ”
“ The food here was not bad, ordered their big breakfast, but their bacon was a bit too crispy and hard to chew which was a downside their sourdough was average tho the skin was too hard too. Love their grilled tomato and sautéed mushrooms tho, their sausages were good too, big portion. Their americano was normal tho, a bit too expensive for this kind of food and drinks ”
“ Common man is a good place to dine and catch up with friends. It has a v cozy vibe even on a busy day. I think the food serving is good for sharing. Their hot chocolate is tasty and thick. All of the staff were attentive. There was a queue when we got there but we were seated fairly quickly as well. They were also patient enough to wait for our order as we were having a hard time deciding since everything on the menu seems good. ”
“ Decent food and coffee in the Joo chiat area. Service was good and the tables were spacious enough. Air condition was a little weak indoors, but this could be due to us being allocated to a table next to the door. Would recommend for brunch and catching up with old pals! ”
“ Loved this place for breakfast, we went there twice on our recent trip to Singapore. The coffee was excellent and we tried some of their specialty coffees also. On both occasions the food came out before the drinks, not a huge issue. The cafe is nice and quiet and has a chilled ambiance. All the dishes we tried were delicious and definitely order the hash browns ”
