Editor’s Note

Last updated 21 Jul 2026

Our take: Knots Cafe & Living at Paya Lebar offers a plant-filled, craft-decorated ambiance that many find appealing for its cozy and uncrowded atmosphere.

We note a recurring sentiment that the food quality can be inconsistent; while some praise dishes like the Carbonara pasta and Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict, others report issues with saltiness, particularly with the pork chop, and overly sweet drinks.

Portions are generally considered adequate, with the big breakfast set noted as substantial enough for sharing.

Ordering is facilitated via QR code, and food delivery is typically prompt.

However, we observe a significant area for improvement in customer service, with instances of staff inattentiveness and a lack of empathy reported.

While the absence of a service charge is a plus for diners, the overall experience could be elevated with more mindful and responsive service.

Payment options are also limited to Amex, PayLah/PayNow, or Nets, which might be inconvenient for some.

We'd recommend Knots Cafe & Living for its pleasant environment and specific dishes like the Carbonara, especially if you're looking for a relaxed meal during off-peak hours.
