OUR REVIEW ON PENNY UNIVERSITY SINGAPORE
I recently revisited Penny University—now relocated to Bugis from its former East Coast haunt—and immediately felt the cozy charm that made it a pioneer in Singapore’s café scene. The café’s minimalist décor, enhanced by airy wood and stone accents, created a bright and welcoming vibe that felt both modern and inviting. I began with their Muddy Espresso with Cold Milk (around S$5.50), and was struck by how perfectly layered and balanced it was—from rich espresso upfront to smooth milk underneath. Dainty yet substantial brunch staples like the Turkish Eggs—poached eggs on whipped Greek yogurt with harissa and sourdough for S$13—comforted and energized in equal measure.
On the food front, the Eggs Benedict at Penny University continues to win me over. Served on brioche with smoked salmon or beef cheeks and a beautifully balanced hollandaise, it remains one of the best versions in town—and the fact that the café is halal-certified and pet-friendly just adds to its inclusive appeal. I also couldn’t resist their White Chocolate Lemon Tart (S$8.50) paired with an oat-milk espresso; the tart was tangy, cookie-crust balanced, and deeply satisfying—just a sweet finish I keep coming back for. Worth knowing: seats fill up fast on weekends, so coming early or reserving is a smart move to avoid disappointment.
