Came here after yoga class upstairs on a Sunday around 2:00 p.m. pleasantly surprise to see that it is full house, I guess everyone decided to come out for Sunday brunch during this time. Stuff was very friendly and chatty, we ordered the Chicken karrage, grilled sea bass and crab salad. Portions were huge and more than sufficient for two pax. The meal felt very clean and healthy, really enjoyed the chicken chop personally. Seems like most people come here for coffee, but I would recommend trying the food if you are hungry as well.

while its a good chilled spot to catch up with friends over no-frills food and drinks, i see a lot more people spread out across the space on their laptops working remotely. common man coffee roasters have seen better days and i remember it being ahead of its time when they first opened. now there are better coffee shops / cafes all across singapore. honestly as a food and coffee snob, i wouldnt go out of my way to come here for a meal, much less for the coffee. BUT i wouldnt object to friends who suggest meeting up here. menu is predictable and food’s just about average in standard. service was a little lacking despite it being rather empty and off-peak (4pm), had to wave to get the attention of the service staff. a lil heartbreaking as i knew the owners from the early days.
