Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: Otter & Pebbles offers a Japanese-inspired cafe experience in Novena, consistently praised for its cozy atmosphere and attentive service.

We've noted multiple mentions of their Salmon Ochazuke ($24.90) as a comforting and satisfying dish, alongside the Bacon Mentaiko Udon ($17.90) for its creamy texture.

Desserts, particularly the fluffy pancakes (like the PB & Otter Dutch Pancake at $19.90), appear to be a highlight, described as soft, creamy, and melt-in-your-mouth.

While the cafe is small and can get crowded during peak hours, leading to potentially cramped seating, the overall dining experience is generally positive.

The staff are frequently highlighted for being friendly and helpful, and the provision of free water is a welcome touch.

We think it's a good spot for a relaxed meal or weekend gathering, especially if you appreciate Japanese-fusion dishes and well-executed desserts.

Best for groups of 2-4, and reservations are highly recommended to avoid disappointment during busy periods.
