AwfullyChocolate Bakery & Cafe, the best and most unique place for brunch, lunch and dinner in the East. And your kids will love it too! Check out the coolest and most special kids meals in Singapore!
On East Coast Road in Katong, Awfully Chocolate's flagship bakery & cafe takes a chocolate brand's favourite ingredient and builds a full day of dining around it — weekday lunch and a set dinner, weekend brunch and high tea buffets, and a counter of bakes and drinks running through the day. The cafe describes itself cheerfully as "the best and most unique place for brunch, lunch and dinner", and adds a promise aimed squarely at parents: "your kids will love it too".
Flagship is the cafe's own word for itself, and the setup backs it up: rather than a single menu repeated all day, the kitchen runs to a schedule, with different services for weekday lunch, evenings and weekends. The address also helps. Katong is one of Singapore's best-loved eating neighbourhoods, and a bakery-cafe on East Coast Road slots neatly into a day spent in the district — a long weekend brunch, a family dinner, or a mid-afternoon detour for something sweet.
Weekdays are organised into three services. Lunch is served from 12pm to 3pm, with its own weekday menu. Come evening, from 6pm to 9pm, the kitchen switches to the dinner set the cafe itself labels "amazing value" — a claim it puts right in the menu's name, which says something about how central it is to evenings here. In between and throughout the day, drinks and bakes are available all day, with one honest caveat: till sold out. It's a small admission that doubles as a review of how the baking counter is treated by regulars.
The weekend schedule is the cafe's showpiece. The Amazing Weekend Brunch Buffet runs from 10am to 3pm — the spread the website leads with, and the one that anchors the whole weekend concept. As brunch winds down, the Amazing Weekend High Tea Buffet takes over from 3.45pm to 5.45pm, giving late risers and afternoon-tea fans a window of their own. The value dinner set then returns from 6pm to 9pm, so a weekend visit can stretch from mid-morning to evening without ever leaving the cafe's rhythm.
Children are not an afterthought here. The cafe keeps a dedicated kids' menu and promotes what it calls "the coolest and most special kids' meals in Singapore" — a bold claim, but one it puts front and centre. Pair that with the buffet format on weekends, where everyone at the table can pick their own pace and plate, and it's a straightforward choice for a family weekend meal. The dinner set does similar work on weekday evenings, giving parents an easy answer to the what's-for-dinner question.
Because the name on the door is Awfully Chocolate, the experience doesn't have to end at the table. The cafe runs workshops and events, offering a hands-on way into the brand's favourite ingredient — worth checking if you want to turn a meal into an outing, or find something a little different to do with the kids.
Reservations can be made online through the cafe's booking page, and when tables are snapped up there's a waitlist to join — both linked from the website. The weekday, weekend and kids' menus are published there too, so it pays to check before you go and time your visit around the service you want: weekday lunch from 12pm, the dinner set from 6pm, weekend brunch from 10am and high tea from 3.45pm. And if the bakes are the whole point of the trip, go earlier rather than later — they're available till sold out, and sold out is clearly the plan.
