   We were staying in Singapore in Hotel Boss in Sultan Jalan and this place was a 4 min walk away from it so it became our breakfast spot for two days in a row. The kind of loyalty a place earns only if we liked it's service of course! I'm not going to lie, in doing my research for this the main thing that drew me to this place instead of a few others nearby was the fact that they had rosti listed in the menu and we did want to relive memories of switzerland, so that was definitely a factor. We got a rosti with scrambled eggs and salmon (was served with cream cheese), a shakshuka, an avocado toast, pandan pancakes with ice cream, and some of their speciality coffees of which I in particular enjoyed their "bulletproof coffee" albeit their pumpkin spice latte was great too. All of the dishes are equally worthy of praise... If you have a spice craving palette as some in our group did, the shakshuka will definitely hit the spot. The rosti was nice too, albeit quite bland, which makes it authentic because that's how the Swiss like it... We also got more sourdough toasts in the side and paired them with the scrambled eggs and salmon on cream cheese which very much also hit the spot. The salmon was fresh and well smoked. Service was quick, courteous and professional. The place was always full on both days, on the second day we had to wait a bit too showing that this place is popular. Recommended for comprehensive and hearty morning/brunch refueling to get you set for a day of exploring singapore! Another nice touch was that while ordering via the QR code digitally from their online menu, you could add customisation comments, we added for the shakshuka that the eggs should be well set and not runny and indeed they were made that way (not the case de facto as we saw on another table), and also that our pancakes and coffee should be served last which was also followed without follow-ups. Very nice experience!

   Came on a Saturday around 11.30am. The cafe was packed, thankfully our friend made a reservation! Have always wanted to try this cafe. Food is generally decent, but somehow cannot comprehend how it's so popular. We ordered: - Iced Orange Mocha (7/10) - exactly what you expect it to taste, just not sweet enough to my liking. The coffee was strong though! - Iced Sea Salt Caramel Latte (8/10) - Prefer this to the orange mocha. Coffee also strong but slightly sweeter than the orange mocha! - Carbonara (7/10) - creaminess was great, pasta done al dente which was perfect. Somehow the flavour was a little bland though so we requested for more salt and pepper. - Shakshuka with Bratwurst (8.5/10) - personally my favourite dish here. The dish was flavourful, egg texture was perfect. But it's exactly what you expect it to taste like! - Rosti with Smoked Salmon (7/10) - Rosti is crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Personally prefer the crispy kind so this didn't meet my expectation. The Rosti was pretty thick though. Scrambled eggs were good, smoked salmon was good and not too salty. - Pandan Pancake with Vanilla ice cream (8/10) - was actually looking forward to this; it was a good pancake but not impressive. I like how crispy the surface of the pancake was. Vanilla ice cream was good too. The pancake was 2 thick layers with one layer sandwiching some gula melaka (which was tasty). However, the syrup provided wasn't sufficient and the pancake was a little dry. All in all, a pretty decent cafe with pretty good food but not really something I would come back for.

   Delicious food and great service! The rosti was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The smoky bratwurst was juicy and the smoked salmon was nice and tender. The avocado was fresh too. The french toast was delicious - the crispy bacon was really good and complemented the french toast well. The pancakes were nice and fluffy and went well with the ice cream too! The flat white and iced americano were great too. Nice and strong cups of coffee 👍
