Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: PÖONSTI, operating as Old Hen Coffee at NUS, offers a spacious and generally peaceful environment, making it suitable for a relaxed meal or coffee.

We note consistent praise for their coffee quality, with a good selection of filter coffee beans that rotate regularly.

The Avocado on Toast, priced around $18-20, stands out as a signature item, frequently highlighted for its fresh ingredients and well-executed soft-boiled egg.

Other food items like the black pepper chicken rosti and brownie with ice cream also receive positive mentions for taste and value.

Initially, there were some concerns regarding the use of disposable cups for dine-in, but recent feedback indicates a shift towards ceramic cups for hot drinks, which is a positive change.

While the kaya toast has been noted as disappointing by some, the overall food quality appears to be a strong point.

We'd recommend it for those seeking a comfortable spot with good coffee and a reliable brunch-style menu, especially if you're in the NUS area.

Best for a weekend visit when you can take your time.

The black pepper chicken rosti (set meal with salad and coffee) was hearty and quite value for money. They’re also serving hot drinks in ceramic cups now for dine-in (previously was disposable). Kudos…
