Butter Tgt is the first physical café by the people behind the popular home bakery @youkneadcakes. Occupying a second-floor shophouse space on Duxton Road, the café is all cosy charm. The madeleines ($7.50 for three) here are a big reason why we love this place – they are wonderfully soft and buttery with a hint of crispiness on the edges. Citrusy bakes like the lemon pistachio cake ($6.80) are also perfectly tart and dense. For a proper brunch, opt for savouries like avocado toast ($12) – a simple dish elevated by super fresh ingredients. Make sure to arrive early, preferably on a weekday, to avoid the queues. This also ups your chances of snagging a seat by the windows, which provide maximum sunlight (and Instagram potential).
Brunch has earned its place as a weekend ritual we all look forward to. There’s nothing quite like clocking in a few more hours of sleep and then waking up to enjoy a leisurely meal that combines the best of breakfast and lunch. Whether you’re craving classic eggs on toast, indulgent ricotta pancakes, a gourmet sandwich, or a vibrant plant-based bowl, our diverse brunch scene has something to satisfy every craving and diet.
