Since the café’s opening, Tampines residents and those nearby have been flocking to show support. It was my second visit, and this time we went for brunch, ordering the Crab Cake Benedict, Lola’s Breakfast, and shared the Nacho Cheese Tater Tots.

The handmade crab and prawn cake was nicely seasoned, paired with perfectly poached eggs and miso hollandaise. The breakfast combo? Huge portion and satisfying. As for the tater tots, they’re basically bite-sized hash browns to me—the perfect potato snack, especially with that generous nacho cheese sauce. The food was great, and while the service was a bit off that day, it was likely just a one-off. We’ll definitely be back!
