A new month means fresh reasons to update your café rotation, and July 2026 delivers five newly opened spots across Singapore worth bookmarking. From a cozy Kovan bakery by the team behind Chu and Co to a Korean-inspired scone spot tucked inside a Queenstown mall, this lineup spans the island. Closer to the CBD, a Tanjong Pagar café that looks straight out of Seoul and a Hong Kong pastry import round out the list, while a Chinatown gem doubles as a ceramic gallery. Here’s where to go for your next coffee break.
Shu Bakery: A Cool, Airy Haven in Kovan
Fans of the popular Serangoon Garden bakery Chu and Co now have a sister café with proper indoor seating. Shu Bakery, located at Space@Kovan, offers full air-conditioned comfort alongside a dine-in menu that goes beyond pastries. The namesake Chu + Shu toast ($15.50) features two open-faced toasts—one with kaya butter spread, the other with Brazil nut chocolate praline and banana slices. For savory cravings, the duck rillette toast ($18.50) comes with ricotta, crunchy asparagus and crispy shallots. The daily rotating selection of loaves and pastries is available for takeaway only.
Address: 9 Yio Chu Kang Rd, #01-54, Singapore 545523. Open Wed-Sun, 8:30am-4:30pm.
For a Creative Pause, Head to Mozmoji in Chinatown
Mozmoji took over social media recently, and it’s easy to see why. Tucked along South Bridge Road, this tranquil two-story space functions as both a café and a ceramic gallery featuring handcrafted pieces by Chinese artisans. The menu highlights homemade desserts and specialty drinks like pistachio and black sesame lattes, all served on ceramic ware you choose. The Isuzu matcha fresh strawberry cake ($15.80) balances sweetness with white chocolate instead of sugar. New this month: pour-over coffees from Shanghainese roastery Big Sur, marking the brand’s Singapore debut. Browse the gallery afterward—or take a piece home.
Address: 252 South Bridge Rd, #02-01, Singapore 058801. Open Tue-Sun, 11am-7pm.
Visitors Brings Seoul Vibes to Tanjong Pagar
From the team behind Noci Bakehouse comes Visitors, a Korean-inspired café in Tanjong Pagar Plaza. The minimalist space features low sofas, wooden furniture and large windows that flood the room with light, evoking Seoul’s trendiest neighborhoods. The menu offers refreshing twists on café standards: truffle egg soldiers ($13) reimagines a British breakfast with toasted bread strips dipped in runny eggs, while the croissant stuffed with ricotta and honey butter ice cream ($17) satisfies sweet tooths. Don’t miss the mugwort Basque cheesecake ($11) for something unique. The best part: it’s open until 10pm daily, making it an ideal post-dinner hangout in the CBD.
Address: 7 Tanjong Pagar Plaza, #01-106, Singapore 081007. Open daily, 8am-10pm.
Cafe Ondo: A Quiet Spot in an Unlikely Mall
Queenstown’s Cafe Ondo proves good finds can hide in plain sight. Located inside Alexandra Central, the quiet mall beside IKEA, this Korean-inspired café keeps things simple with wooden tables, homey decor and a counter piled with pastries. The scones ($5 each) are the standout—unlike traditional English versions, they’re sliced and stuffed with fillings like red bean and butter or cream cheese and spring onions, offering a chunky, crumbly texture best enjoyed with coffee. Also try the lemon cakes ($4.20), butter tteok ($2.50), or the Jeju Sunset ($6.80), a hibiscus tea from Osulloc with yuzu marmalade.
Address: 321 Alexandra Rd, #02-26, Singapore 159971. Open daily, 9am-9pm.
Mimmo Blends Italian Pastry with Hong Kong Flavors
For central business district breaks, Mimmo brings a unique concept from Hong Kong: Italian and French pastry techniques fused with traditional Hong Kong flavors. Le Cordon Bleu-trained chef Domenico Giammarella leads the kitchen. The viennoiserie selection includes a pistachio bolo bao ($6) stuffed with pistachio cream and dusted with icing sugar and crumbs, plus glossy egg tarts ($4) with flaky puff pastry and a creamy center. For something special, try the seasonal contessa ($5)—laminated pastry with raspberries and pastry cream. Build-your-own pasta options include strozzapretti, spaghetti and tagliatelle.
Address: 8 Marina View, Asia Square Tower 1, #01-05, Singapore 018960. Open Mon-Fri 8am-7pm; Sat-Sun 9am-6pm.
Plan your café crawl: With options ranging from heartland bakeries to sleek Korean-inspired spaces and Hong Kong imports, this July lineup offers something for every mood. Whether you’re after a quiet afternoon with a pour-over or a late-night dessert in the CBD, these five new spots are worth adding to your rotation.
