By Rei Sage -
The area encompassing Keong Saik Road, Craig Road, and Neil Road is filled with hip cafés, popular bakeries and award-winning restaurants – which means you’re likely to encounter thronging crowds and long waiting times if you visit during peak periods. For a quieter culinary experience, consider checking out the many food options including cafes in Everton Park, an HDB estate located just across the road. Whether you’re looking to pick up some sweet treats or enjoy a sit-down brunch, here’s what you can look forward to.
46 Mittsu
Sandwich lovers should make 46 Mittsu their first stop. On the menu, you’ll discover a delectable selection of hefty sandwiches, all featuring a smorgasbord of ingredients tucked into a buttered brioche bun. We highly recommend the Daddy Belly (braised pork belly, pickled radish and spicy mushrooms), BEC (bacon, egg and cheese) and Mean Greens (broccolini, burrata, avocado and spicy tomato jam).
46 Mittsu is at 2 Everton Park, #01-61, Singapore 081002, tel: 8044 8506. Visit its Instagram page for more information. Opens Tues to Sun (8am to 3pm, or until sold out).
Dearborn
Originally a private-home-dining concept that pivoted to selling granola during the pandemic, Dearborn now plies homemade sourdough toast, granola bowls, drinks and a changing selection of creative breakfast dishes (only on Saturdays) from a cosy brick-and-mortar space. Nosh on your goodies in the limited outdoor seating area, and be sure to snag a bag of their famous handcrafted granola to take home with you.
Dearborn is at 1 Everton Park, #01-29, Singapore 081001. Visit its website for more information. Opens Mon to Fri (9am to 5pm), and Sat & Sun (9am - 3pm. Kitchen closed on Sunday, retail only).
Nylon Coffee Roasters
Founded in 2012, Nylon Coffee Roasters is one of Singapore’s pioneering and most respected specialty coffee outfits. They keep things simple here, with the menu split into black and white (milk-based) offerings. We suggest sampling a filter brew crafted with the latest line-up of coffee beans. These are sourced from prime coffee-growing regions in the likes of Ethiopia, El Salvador and Honduras and are roasted in-house.

Donburi options – served with miso soup – include Beef Steak Don, Salmon Mentai Don and Teriyaki Chicken Don, while light bites range from Wabi Fries (French fries with a special spicy sauce) to crowd-favourites like gyoza, chicken karaage and fresh salmon sashimi.
