New Cafe Singapore
If you’re looking for a great new cafe to check out in Singapore, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve compiled a list of the 10 best new cafes in Singapore for 2020. These cafes are all unique and offer something different than the rest. So whether you’re looking for a quick coffee break or an afternoon of relaxation, these cafes will not disappoint!
1. Guerilla Coffee
| Key Services: | The menu focuses on coffee |
| Website: | https://www.guerillacoffee.com/ |
| Address: | 3 Temasek Boulevard, #01-506/507, Suntec City Mall, Singapore 038983 |
| Phone: | +65 6899 3188 |
| Operating Hours: | Monday – Sunday, 8.30am – 8pm |
When you’re strolling past shops and restaurants at Suntec City, this wonderfully minimalistic area will undoubtedly catch your attention. When it comes to coffee, the company takes the high-tech approach with Slayer LPX espresso machines, the city’s first Tone 3 boiler less brewer, and Latte Art Factory, a manufacturer of automated milk steaming and frothing equipment. The floral and sweet Guerilla No. 1 or the rich and nutty Guerilla No. 2 in cappuccino, cafe latte, and iced latte versions are both excellent choices. FYI, all beverages are served with double shots of espresso – ideal for a pick-me-up mid-day. Another option is Home, a redesigned kopi beverage with double ristretto shots, condensed milk, pepper, and salt.
Key Differentiators:
- State Of The Art Technology; uses Slayer LPX espresso machines (the city’s first Tone 3 boiler less brewer) and Latte Art Factory (automated milk steaming and frothing system)
- Minimalist-style cafe
- Cafe with Functional Design
Customer Review

I’ve gone there 4 times since they started and they probably have the best and freshest croissants in Singapore. Crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside with an absolutely delightful buttery finish. The burnt cheese croissant is definitely a must try. Their pricing is very affordable compared to many other bakeries and cafes.
I would have given 6 stars if I could.

Customer Review
Was really excited to finally come across a restaurant with an extensive keto menu, and they definitely did not disappoint. Only thing is that it most of their items really aren’t the most wallet friendly for a casual meal (although that’s often the case with keto stuff)!
Tried their pork ribs with cauliflower rice, pulled pork pizza, and their cheesy curry chicken puff – all of which were really good!
They also serve great coffee, along with a selection of keto desserts that I’ll be sure to try the next time I’m back!
Would highly recommend to anyone who is currently on keto and are looking for a nice place to have a meal. Oh yes, and they also have a great selection of non keto dishes!

Great food and really nice staff.
They have built a nice cozy ambiance inside. You can prefer to sit outside by the small water pond as well as inside. Lots of opportunities for the shutterbugs as almost every table offers great vantage points to click some great pics. We tried the vegetarian menu and the Veg Nachos were really good,, with a proper portion size, complimented with some crunchy potato fries.
The coffee too was nice.
Do try the waffles or pancakes.
Overall a nice place to hangout

Customer Review
A great people watching, coffee drinking, snack eating location along the covered, but outdoor walk way entry path into 313@somerset. Friendly servers are attentive, but also allow you to enjoy the food and view. I tried their Indonesian bean pour over black coffee, with notes of chocolate and berries. Served in a carafe, it allowed you to drink small amounts while the remainder stayed warm. I paired it with the sticky date pudding. I have not tried this dish before, I was picturing a deep bread pudding with sweet medjool dates. Was pleasantly surprised by a refined and moist pudding that looked a bit like a sponge cake texture when you cut into it with a smooth date flavor. Berries and vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce created a palate of flavors.
