Kith Cafe

Kith Cafe is a little cafe well hidden from sight. One wouldn't discover it unless you spend sometime walking along the Singapore River. The cafe is located among one of the few shop spaces at the Watermark, a private housing around the Mohammad Sultan area. When we walked towards the cafe, we find that the surrounding was like a little hidden haven within the city. There's the river and the grass patch beside it. It was quiet except for the little bustle that led us to Kith cafe.

Inside Kith Cafe, there are a couple of 4 seaters and a high long communal table for food and drinks. A chalkboard span across one of the walls that has their menu written with chalk. I liked the designs of the tables and benches inside the cafe that seemed to be stacks of wood that made them up. There are little tables and chairs laid outside to allow to mingle over their food and drinks. What I liked most are the grass patch outside the cafe, beside the river. It made the whole atmosphere so much more relaxing.

Kith Cafe's Big Breakfast (S$14) includes toasts, bratwurst, bacon, scrambled eggs and grilled tomato. We liked the bratwurst that taste good and not too oily. I wonder where they got the bread from! We love the toast for the soft and light texture.

Toasties (S$5.50) - I order a set of toasties that was filled with bacon, scrambled egg and cheddar. A bite into the toasties revealed the chewy cheddar with the moist scrambled eggs and the tasty bacon. Yummy!

Latte (S$3.80/glass)  - We ordered lattes to satisfy our caffeine needs to start the day. One more glass please!

Sssh ..... don't let anyone know this little cafe haven that we've discovered.

With such high ratings, this was the place for me to check out for some breakfast recently. Walking in, I liked the set-up right away of a quaint little cafe with tables built from plywood and a chalk board denoting the menu. (it does seem that there are a lot of cafes that are moving into this direction). Upon ordering, my food arrived shortly. I liked that despite being served in plastic cups, the drinks had a nice "kith cafe" sticker to it. Small things like that help to beautify everyday products. I ordered the corned beef sandwich. I liked the idea of the corn beef mixing with the coleslaw, which created a nice combination in the mouth. Unfortunately, the bread was a tad too hard and I suspect it may have outlived its shelf life. One of the key areas that the cafe needs to look into is the ventilation. I understand that the condominium may have some policy on ventiliation, but this may be an issue in the long run as some ladies may be a little more particular - as evident from another customer's feedback at the cafe.

I wonder what has happened to their ice-cream fridge, I was looking forward to trying out their unique flavours but all they've got are the basic flavours like french vanilla and chocolate! Is it a regular but not permanent fixture?

As the title suggests, it's a small cafe indeed, but something about the crew and the set-up makes it a pretty cosy place to be in. I was only there for a milkshake, my friend had an ice-cream, and we were satisfied enough - an escape from the scorching sun outside no less.

I was at Kith Cafe today at about 11 plus on a Monday morning, having read the reviews in Simply Her recently. The cafe looks and feels very Australian and it has superb sandwiches and breakfast items. I had the Big Breakfast at $14 and a flat white. All was delicious and it was a good 2 hrs that I spent here reading my book.

It made my blue Monday a tad less blue. I will definitely come back for more. Service was immaculate too. Just what I needed : good breakfast, good coffee and a good book!

Have to say that this is one cafe in Singapore that caters for the early birds like me. More often than not, the early bird can't find any food (other than prata) before the usual 8:30am opening of most cafes so Kith Cafe scores 100 points for being exclusively a food place for those who wake up with their stomaches growling.

I love pancakes, and I have yet to find one in Singapore that is my ideal one although there are some that have come close. Pancakes with vanilla ice-cream @$7.50 is one of the breakfast items on Kith cafe and I was wondering who has ice-cream for breakfast and thus I asked if I could just have the pancakes which was no problem...however they still charged me the full amount for pancakes w/o ice-cream which was quite a put off for me.

As I needed meat as well, I ordered the sidedish Bratwurst sausage @$3.50 so my total bill came to $11.00. When the dish arrived, it was quite a letdown especially when I read the other reviews. It was simply two flat pancakes and one normal sized sausage on a white ceramic plate with butter and maple syrup. They didn't even serve their home-made strawberry jam (think of the $7.50 for two plain pancakes) or maybe my expectations were quite high.

Anyway, the pancakes were more crumbly than fluffy, which reminded me of butter cake consistency and were a bit dry but edible with more syrup and butter. The sausage was nice though, juicy and meaty but for $3.50 extra I shall think again.

Overall, it was a pricey meal I feel and perhaps the best option would be to avoid buying the pancakes when you visit Kith cafe. Their other options seems more reasonable. I'll probably return if I'm hungry in the early morning but other than that, it's not my top choice.

Kith is a cute little cafe tucked at the robertson quay periphery. To start off with, I already have a penchant for this part of Singapore: tranquillity by day, happenings by night, complete with a diverse spread of indie eateries. Like Kith. Lovely communal dining tables and high-chairs inside, benches outside.

They've got a fixed beverage/pastry/dessert menu, but sandwiches are daily surprises. We were there for lunch/tea, got a hotdog ($10) and big breakfast ($14). Big breakfast was really Big. The bread looked and tasted great - different from your typical toast. It's soft and very comforting. Complete with the jam served (I still can't figure out what berry that was), really makes for a pleasant meal. Especially if you're a sucker for jams and a breadbox like yours truly :)

Coffee was really good too. I'd probably be back again for breakfast someday. Really nice ambience to spend the afternoon with friends and even alone, I would think. Just sitting by, sipping tea and whiling the day away...

Kith cafe may be located at a quieter spot at Robertson Quay but does not lack its own fan base. We took some time to get there and got a bit lost along the way, but it was well worth the walk.

After our "mini adventure", we needed something to soothe our parched throats, fast. Watermelon lychee and ice lavender tea came recommended by the shop owner. (I think she could sense our desperation for something cool!) Served iced-cold, they were concentrated and absolutely delicious and refreshing, without being too sweet. Lifesavers indeed. If you are only choosing one, go for the watermelon lychee. Never knew these two fruits could go so well together.

The Japanese cheese cake, accompanied with strawberry jam was light and fluffy. But it tasted very much like Fiesta cheesecake, so probably nothing extraordinary. Still good, though as the jam wasn't cloying.

We couldn't leave without trying their gelato. Our choice was yuzu sorbet coupled with dark choc gelato. One sweet and one zesty; its like Yin and Yang.

This makes a wonderful and unpretentious place for a tete-a-tete with good friends. I'm going back for their croque monsieur..

A friend took me to Kith for brunch this past Saturday morning. It was such a cute little cafe tucked away in a corner of the Waterfront.

I am big coffee girl and I always start the day with a cuppa. Naturally, the first thing to do when seated is order it up and I am happy to say I was satisfied with my cappuccino.

Decided to go light on brunch and ordered a ham and cheese croissant which was also a delight.

The atmosphere is very light-hearted and filled with all the morning goodness and vibe. A definite revisit!

Let's just say that I've held probably a little grudge that evolved into something monstrous after being denied seats at this cafe.

Not that I didn't enjoy the moment perched on a railing outside the little shop slurping away happily at my nippy cold pistachio icecream. Truth of the matter is, I was jealous of the rowdy group of 7 that had occupied the long table spanning the corner of the shop. Damm, I could have used a little ambience infusion with such simplicity and sincerity dripping off the walls of the interior, it would have been pleasant to stay a while.

From the blackboards mounted on the walls of the room, the menu scrawled over its surface, to the lovely smell of chai and cinnammon that hits the nose upon entering the humbly lit area. Everything was picture perfect. It was almost like walking into a cafe in Australia. That, I loved. What I didn't appreciate so much was being denied a seat whilst staring at the baristas (owners of the shop i presume) sprawl themselves over a 6 seater area.

Back to the food, we had a large cup of icecream $5( 2 flavors - yogurt and pistachio), both were excellent with the pistachio stealing the show. Holding excellent contrast to the sweet nature of icecream, the salty pistachios translated this lovely smokey flavor to the overall product. I loved that the icecream was not dyed a sickly shade of green like most places do. The cappuccino ($3.80) was reasonly priced, lacked depth but had a good full bodied flavor with milk foamed just right.

Despite my ill-feelings, I would probably still return just to get a cinch of that ambience again. Did I mention that the lovely honey ginger chai tea latte *winked* at me. Deadly...
