Knots Cafe and Living is a Singapore cafe and lifestyle concept owned by Xpressflower, built around the idea that flowers, food and furniture can live in harmony. Patrons can dine on wholesome, nourishing food while browsing a curated selection of beautiful, sustainable, hand-crafted home decor pieces, all displayed for sale within the same warm, cosy space.
The cafe operates from two locations in Singapore, Paya Lebar and Pasir Panjang, each with its own menu and reservation options. Beyond everyday dining, Knots also hosts private events, from birthday parties, baby showers and weddings to solemnisations, workshops and corporate launches, offering thoughtfully styled spaces, catering options and customisable event setups. The cafe has also welcomed community groups such as sketching clubs and been used as a filming location for a music video, reflecting the relaxed, creative atmosphere it aims to cultivate.
As part of the wider Xpressflower group, Knots is connected to a trusted florist delivering flowers and gifts across Singapore, as well as a sister home and living brand, Knots Home & Living.
Knots Cafe and Living was born from a simple belief: that flowers, food and furniture belong together. Owned by Xpressflower, a well-established florist in Singapore, Knots describes itself as a space built by "lovers of style, design and eating well." Rather than being a straightforward cafe, it operates as a hybrid concept — a place where patrons can enjoy wholesome, nourishing food while browsing beautiful, sustainable, hand-crafted home decor pieces on display and for sale throughout the space.
The result is a cafe that leans into atmosphere as much as menu. Knots takes pride in creating a warm, comforting ambience designed to make patrons feel at home, with décor and furnishings that double as inspiration for anyone looking to bring similar pieces into their own space.
Knots Cafe and Living operates from two locations across Singapore: Paya Lebar and Pasir Panjang. Each outlet has its own dedicated menu, available to browse directly from the cafe's website, along with separate reservation options — Paya Lebar bookings are handled through a dedicated reservation document, while Pasir Panjang reservations run through an online booking system. For those who'd rather eat at home, online ordering is also available.
While the full menu at each outlet lives in a dedicated PDF, a few standout dishes have featured prominently in the cafe's own promotions. The BBQ Glazed Sakura Tomahawk Pork Chop, served with a side salad and fries and available in a choice of doneness, has become something of a signature, showing up across multiple months of specials. On the pasta side, the kitchen leans into fusion flavours with a Grilled Barramundi Chilli Crab Pasta and a Tom Yum Barramundi Pasta, both offering barramundi paired with bold, distinctly local flavour profiles and a choice of pasta shape.
What sets Knots apart is how often its spaces get used for more than just dining. The cafe has hosted birthday parties, baby showers, weddings, solemnisations, workshops and corporate launches, offering thoughtfully styled spaces, catering options, and customisable event setups across both its Pasir Panjang and Paya Lebar locations. It has also opened its doors to community groups — a recent visit from The Makcik & Friends Sketchers saw a group of sketching enthusiasts spend an afternoon capturing the cafe's food, flowers and cosy corners in watercolour, while the Pasir Panjang outlet has also been used as a filming location, including for a recently released official music video.
On a more regular basis, Knots runs the Craft Play Social Club at its Paya Lebar location, a series of hands-on craft workshops held every Monday afternoon, covering activities like resin keychains, floral light stands, resin coasters and pipe cleaner flower tote bags — a fitting extension of the cafe's broader design and craft-focused identity.
Knots Cafe and Living sits within a small family of connected brands. Its parent company, Xpressflower, positions itself as a trusted florist offering flower and gift delivery anywhere in Singapore, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, backed by its own delivery promise. Knots also has a sister brand, Knots Home & Living, extending the same design sensibility into a dedicated home and living offering, alongside Knots By XF.
For anyone drawn to the idea of a relaxed meal surrounded by thoughtfully chosen decor — or looking for a characterful venue for a celebration, workshop, or creative project — Knots Cafe and Living positions its two Singapore locations, Paya Lebar and Pasir Panjang, as spaces designed to be lingered in rather than rushed through. Menus, reservations and online ordering are all accessible directly through the cafe's website, with regular updates on promotions, events, and community happenings shared across its Facebook, Instagram and TikTok channels.
