The further we are from the ground, the more we feel like we could conquer the world. Perhaps that’s what makes dining on a rooftop so enticing. Coupled with a drink in hand and a slightly unhinged conversation, it is a failproof recipe for a good time. If you can relate, then this article is just for you. Here are our top five rooftop cafes you have to visit for a good time!

Set on the second floor of the unassuming Tan Boon Liat building, this is one cafe you certainly shouldn’t judge by its exterior. As you step in, its stylish and naturalistic designs are a surprising contrast to the run-down exterior. The comforting earthy tones and soft aesthetics will make you feel right at home.
Its menu is an equally delightful brunch selection serving western-inspired fare with many unique creations that mirror its whimsical image. This includes the signature Sky Medows (S$9)—a uji matcha with blue spirulina milk and yuzu cheese—and Sunlit Fields (S$12)—a cloud yoghurt with orange and honey—which are some of the more creative items we’ve come across while cafe-hopping.

POUT Rooftop Cafe
POUT rooftop cafe is another overlooked gem that not many know about. Tucked away in a lesser-visited part of town, it offers an unobstructed view of the iconic Marina Bay Sands skyline. Its minimalist interior has a soft and dreamy ambience that almost makes you feel like you’re in a Studio Ghibli film.
Some items featured in their menu include the Mortadella Ham Panini (S$18), which is a savoury pressed sandwich with a hint of sweetness from a fig jam to balance out its flavours. For the sweet-tooths, their rich and luxurious Brulee Basque Cheesecake (S$9) is another must-get.

This rooftop cafe is arguably one of the best places you could go to relax. The wall-to-ceiling glass panels fill the cafe with a beautiful natural glow, and the comfy couches make the cosiest rest areas for a recharge. If you find yourself at Orchard Road in need of a shopping break, this lovely cafe could not be more perfect.
One of their more popular dishes is the Spinach Hand-cut Tagliolini with walnut and burrata (S$24). Cooked to a perfect al dente, the creamy, nutty, and complex flavour profile of this pasta makes it a fan-favourite. The Calamansi Lime Pie (S$12) is also definitely worth trying, especially if you’re a fan of lime juice.

Located in Bugis+, this stunning cafe did not hold back on the floral decor. The white-washed cafe is decked out elegantly in bouquets and chandeliers, giving it a regal touch that’s definitely date night approved.
The visuals don’t stop there as their desserts are just as gorgeous. Their Berry Bavarois (S$9.80) is pale pink and picture-perfect as if it’s right out of a Barbie set. And you can stay on theme with a unique Rose Latte (S$8.50) that’s not commonly found in Singapore.
