Our take: Bgain 681 Old Street Coffee House evokes a strong sense of nostalgia, with some reviewers highlighting the presence of 'two very lovely grandmas' making fishball noodles.
The atmosphere is frequently praised for its calm and cool vibe, making it a place where patrons feel comfortable lingering for an entire afternoon.
Food options are generally well-received, with specific mentions of a 'silky congee' that draws comparisons to Hong Kong street food, and 'velvety soft' freshly made chee cheong fun.
The Laksa Yong Tau Foo is also noted for its fresh ingredients and generous portions, with the option of laksa leaves.
However, there are consistent criticisms regarding the cleanliness and warmth of the coffee shop itself.
One concerning review also pointed out an expired and 'funky tasting' bottled water.
We think it's a spot worth visiting for its nostalgic charm and specific dishes like the congee and chee cheong fun, but temper expectations regarding the overall environment.
Best for those seeking comfort food in a traditional setting, provided you're not overly particular about pristine surroundings.

I'm not a big porridge fan so I've not eaten a lot. But what an unexpected surprise! This has got to be the silkiest congee in SG. I can imagine having this in a small stall by the side of a dusty str…
