Our take: Benches Cafe offers a quiet escape within Clementi Woods Park, frequently praised for its peaceful atmosphere.

Reviewers consistently highlight the owner's warm hospitality and the quality of the food, especially given it's often a one-person operation.

The savory waffle, with its thick and chewy texture, comes highly recommended, as does the grilled cheese and ham sandwich.

For those with a sweet tooth, the 'monster cookie' (chocolate chip, oats, M&M, peanut butter) is a notable mention if available.

We think it's an ideal spot for a relaxed weekday brunch or coffee, particularly for those seeking a tranquil environment away from the usual cafe bustle.

The cafe's location within a primary school building means it's closed on weekends, so plan your visit accordingly.

Best for a quiet, unhurried meal.
