The space is designed as a cozy retreat, combining warm wood accents, natural Eurasian linen and touches of greenery to evoke the peaceful feel of a mountain cabin.

The menu spans all-day brunch plates, hearty mains, artisanal pastas and shareable small bites, offering a blend of international and Sichuan-style flavours.

Tucked into Paragon Shopping Centre on Orchard Road, H&C Cafe — also known as Halcyon and Crane — brings a globally inspired menu and a cozy, cabin-like atmosphere to one of Singapore's busiest shopping strips.
H&C Cafe describes itself as a stylish, contemporary destination inspired by global travel and culinary discovery, born from a deep passion for exploring diverse flavours across cultures. The menu deliberately blends the time-honoured traditions of the East with the innovative cooking styles of the West, aiming to reflect a genuinely international, cosmopolitan palate rather than sticking to one culinary lane.
Rather than a typical mall cafe, H&C has built what it calls a cozy retreat — warm wood accents, natural Eurasian linen, and touches of greenery working together to evoke the peaceful feeling of a mountain cabin, even in the middle of Orchard Road. Sofas are arranged specifically for comfort, and the overall layout is designed to encourage guests to unwind and relax rather than rush through a meal. The space is positioned as suited to social gatherings, casual relaxation, and corporate meetings alike.
The brunch menu blends international and Sichuan-style flavours, featuring dishes like Oh, There's Benny!, Fierce Scramble, and The Fullest Breakfast, alongside unique appetizers, vibrant salads, and nourishing mixed grain bowls. For something heartier, the menu extends into artisanal pastas and mains, including the New York Tomato Beef Linguine and Steak Frites with Chimichurri Sauce. It's worth noting that the dedicated breakfast menu is only available Monday to Friday, from 8:30am to 11am — outside that window, the all-day brunch and main menu take over.
Beyond food, H&C Cafe runs its own Fancy Tea Series, built around slowing down and savouring the moment, spanning delicate floral blends through to bold, rich brews, including options like Vita-C Fruit Tea and Detox Fruit Tea. The Fancy Coffee Series brings together premium blends and creative options like the Caramel Coffee Cubes Latte, with drinks customisable with different milk options, served hot or iced.
When it's time to unwind, H&C's All Day Happy Hour Cocktails cover a wide range of moods. The You-zu in my Gin Tonic brings a bright, citrusy kick with yuzu, while the Espresso Martini offers a bold, silky pick-me-up. For lighter sipping, the Aperol Spritz and Island Day Cocktail bring breezy, beach-day energy, and the classic Negroni is there for those wanting something bolder. The Mister Kiwi and First Kiss cocktails add a fruitier, more playful edge, while a Pinot Noir rounds out the list for wine drinkers after something rich and smooth.
For those who can't make it in person, H&C Cafe's menu is available for delivery through Foodpanda. Table bookings can also be made directly through the cafe's own booking system for anyone wanting to guarantee a spot, particularly given the relaxed, linger-friendly seating the cafe is known for.
H&C Cafe is open Sunday to Thursday from 8:30am to 8:30pm, and Friday and Saturday from 8:30am to 10pm, located at 290 Orchard Rd, #03-09 in Paragon Shopping Centre. Whether it's a weekday breakfast, an all-day brunch, or an evening cocktail with friends, H&C Cafe offers a genuinely varied menu built around global inspiration and a deliberately unhurried atmosphere.
