Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: Common Man Coffee Roasters on Joo Chiat Road is a reliable spot for a hearty brunch and well-made coffee.

The Common Man Full Breakfast is consistently praised for its quality ingredients and execution, from perfectly cooked eggs and crispy bacon to fluffy hash browns and thick sourdough.

Their cappuccino also receives frequent mentions for its smooth texture and balanced espresso.

We note that while the food and service generally receive high marks, prices are considered on the higher side.

Weekend crowds are common, so planning an early visit is advisable.

We also observe a specific point of contention regarding outside food, particularly birthday cakes, which are not permitted.

This policy, coupled with limited in-house dessert options, has led to disappointment for some patrons.

While the staff has been noted to resolve issues like incorrectly cooked steaks, it highlights the need for diners to communicate preferences clearly.

Overall, it's a solid choice for a relaxed meal, but perhaps not ideal for special celebrations requiring an external cake.
