Editor’s Note

Last updated 30 May 2026

Our take: PUNCH offers a charming, atmospheric cafe experience near Clarke Quay, known for its creative coffee drinks and a menu that, while consistent, executes cafe staples with notable quality.

We see frequent praise for their Mint Mocha, described as genuinely minty and not artificial, and their coffee in general for being smooth and non-acidic.

Food highlights include the French toast, Earl Grey pancakes, and scrambled eggs, which are consistently lauded for taste and presentation.

The Kani Ebi Laksa Burger and Tiramisu also receive specific mentions for their quality.

While the ambiance and food presentation are strong points, some reviewers note that prices are on the higher side.

Service has been described as occasionally reserved, even when the cafe isn't busy.

We'd recommend PUNCH for those who appreciate a well-executed cafe menu and unique coffee options in a pleasant setting.

It's a reliable spot for a satisfying meal, though it can get crowded quickly, especially during peak hours.

Best for a relaxed meal where the quality of drinks and certain dishes justifies the price point.

We went for Sunday lunch at about 1.15pm, and it wasn't too crowded. The usual Sunday cafe clientele - families, friends after a pilates session, couples on dates etc. There is indoor and alfresco se…
