Café Melba is a Melbourne-inspired café in Singapore, built around good coffee, hearty all-day dining, and relaxed gatherings, with locations at Goodman Arts Centre and Mediapolis. The café describes its menu as spanning brunch favourites, fresh pizzas, pastas, weekday lunches, family meals, and café classics — food meant to work for any part of the day, whether that's a quick lunch, a long brunch, or an easy meal out.
Café Melba draws on Melbourne's culture of coffee, brunch, and casual dining, adapting it to Singapore with hearty plates, warm service, and relaxed spaces. The café is family-friendly by nature, running a Kids Club, hosting pet-friendly afternoons, and organising community events, while still keeping café dining at the heart of what it does. It has been recognised by Expat Living and HoneyKids, and describes itself as an award-winning café.
Both outlets are open daily, offer table bookings through SevenRooms, and can arrange delivery or host private events. Café Melba operates under Tadcaster Hospitality, based at 56 Circular Rd, Level 3, Singapore 049411.
Café Melba brings a distinctly Melbourne sensibility to Singapore's café scene, built around the idea of good coffee, hearty all-day dining, and relaxed gatherings — summed up in the café's own three-word mantra: 'Eat. Sip. Gather.' Rather than being pinned to a single mealtime, the café is designed to work across the whole day, whether that's a quick coffee, a long brunch, or an easy dinner out.
Café Melba draws directly on Melbourne's love of coffee, brunch, and casual dining, translating it into a Singapore setting with hearty plates, warm service, and spacious, relaxed rooms. The menu spans brunch favourites, fresh pizzas, pastas, weekday lunches, family meals, and café classics — among the dishes featured are a Tuna Niçoise and pancakes, alongside the broader all-day menu of coffee and café staples.
Family-friendliness runs through much of how Café Melba positions itself. The café runs a dedicated Kids Club, hosts pet-friendly afternoons, and organises community events aimed at bringing people together — all while keeping café dining, rather than events, as the core of the business. That balance has earned recognition from Expat Living and HoneyKids, and the café describes itself as award-winning.
The values behind the brand are laid out plainly on their site: quality in ingredients and service, inclusivity that welcomes guests regardless of background, active community engagement through events, and a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere where guests of all ages can feel at home.
