Best cafes in Bedok
1. Percolate
A quaint cafe in Bedok North, Percolate is serious about delivering the best cup of coffee to their customers.
Curating coffee beans from all over the world, Percolate rotates their house-choice based on the season. The Hot Latte ($5.5) that we got recently featured Peru’s nutty undertones. Meanwhile, coffee extracted from the single origin from Rwanda underscores fruitier notes.
Interesting drinks such as ginger and coconut lattes are also found on this cafe’s menu.
To get a bite to go with your drink, we recommend their croissants. One of the best in Singapore, the Smoked Salmon Croissant ($7.2) is elevated with a layer of wasabi mayo. The PB&J Croissant ($8) is also a popular choice.

2. Daily Mujo
This MUJI-inspired cafe along Bedok North Street encourages you to slow down your lifestyle.
Best part? The food is relatively affordable.
Coffee is priced at $5 for a latte, and the coffee beans are from PPP Coffee, so you already know it’s going to be at least decent.
Meanwhile, the mains, comprising a mix of Asian and western dishes, averages at $11 per plate. Opt for their Daily Mujo Speciality like the Laksa Hokkien Mee ($12), or opt for the classics like Black Pepper Chicken Chop ($14).

3. Mosanco Enchanted Cafe Bedok
This cafe in Bedok is straight out of a fairy tale. One look, and you’ll instantly understand why they’re also known as The Secret Garden.
But aside from the vibes, Enchanted Cafe Bedok is also famous for their cold brew coffees — specifically, their White Cold Brew ($6.9). It’s creamy, full-bodied and lightly sweetened; all without the astringency that comes with coffee that is brewed otherwise.
Pair it with light brunch items, such as the Almond Butter on Toast ($10.9), which somehow, reminded us of tang yuan fillings. Meanwhile, the Croissants with Stuffing ($9.9), with a choice of filling, had a nice flaky texture.
Aside from this cafe in Bedok, Mosanco also has other branches in Serangoon, Farrer Park and Bukit Timah.
Location: 510 Bedok North Street 3, #01-75, Singapore 460510
Opening hours: 11am-11pm (closed on Tuesday)
4. Marie Lapis
Brunch and coffee is great, but this cafe has to be one of the more unique ones at Bedok as they serve Peranakan-inspired cafe food.
From a Kueh Lapis store to a full-fledged cafe in Bedok, Marie Lapis’s menu now includes Western mains infused with Peranakan elements and interesting adaptations to traditional Kueh’s.
Take the Lapis in Wonderland ($10.9) for example. Lapis served in a glossy red wine sauce, with poached grapes and vanilla ice-cream. Meanwhile, the Coffee Lapis-Misu ($7) features an amalgamation of Indonesian and Italian cuisines — a harmonious blend of imported Italian Cheese, Rum, wine-soaked sponge and coffee lapis.

8. Refuel
Located along Bedok Reservoir, Refuel Cafe is an all-day brunch cafe in Bedok that serves comforting and affordable dishes under $16.
Refuel yourself with classic brunch dishes like waffles and pasta; nothing too quirky. But it’s the affordability and consistency of the dishes that earned Refuel their reputation in the area.
If there’s one item on Refuel’s menu that deserves a standing ovation, it’s their barbecued pork ribs. It comes in two variations: Baked Honey Ribs ($14) and Spicy Ribs ($14). Both are lightly seasoned with the right texture. Fall off the bones, but retaining a firm texture for a more palatable mouthfeel.
