Whether it's breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner you're after, these cafes have some of the best food offerings in the city. Perfect for your foodie cravings at any time of day
We're lucky to have a plethora of great cafes in our city that brew up some of the finest cups of joe in Asia if not the world. More than just providing great coffee though, our idea of the perfect cafe is one that does stellar food to go along with the drinks. These are some of the cafes dotted around the city that do just that, and for those that would rather enjoy your coffee and food in the comfort of your own home, for the time being, it will come as good news that more than a few offer takeaway and even delivery.

A quaint, relaxing cafe in sleepy Tai Mei Tuk, Brian Cafe recently opened in June as a spot where you can get away from the jam-packed streets and indulge in coffee and appetising eats in surroundings that are rather pleasing on the eye – and we're not just talking about the coastline a stone's throw from the shop. Enjoy all the regulars – available in both hot and iced – including lattes with well-done latte art, and cappuccinos, and there's also a whole page of espressos too with variations from Romano to a macchiato. For those in the mood for a mid-morning snack, enjoy their range of sandwiches, from smoked salmon ($78) to smoked beef ($78), toast, which comes with everything from peanut butter ($28) to garlic ($35) on it, or the specials, like the daily pasta ($68) or even the all-day breakfast ($98). Note that these guys are open on weekend mornings.

N1 Coffee & Co. lovers know they will be spoilt with quality coffee at every visit.

Japanese inspiration is the order of the day at this brand-new Ho Man Tin cafe. Think clean, minimalist white decor throughout, with even a white pebble moat tucked under the counter seating area that complements the clever use of plants to bring the outside inside. Beautiful surroundings aside, Five to One offer a solid lineup of drinks ranging from your classic Americano and their hand Drip to more experimental creations like the Superior Uji Matcha Latte. The food is equally attractive, especially for those in the mood for a mid-morning snack. Try the tonkatsu toast ($68), salads (starting at $68), and the indulgent soft shell crab with scrambled eggs ($88).

Because who doesn't want Belgian waffles in the morning? Not only is Waffling Beans a cool hangout nestled in between a bunch of car repair shops in the heart of Kennedy Town, but the food and beverages on offer here also make a great go-to for a mid-morning – or any time of day, for that matter – pick-me-up. The coffee is good, and from the food menu, you can order anything from waffles with chocolate and strawberries, to the chicken schnitzel waffle sandwich. They deliver, too, on many of their dine-in offerings, and also on bags of their delicious coffee beans.
