Heartland cafes are pretty much the norm these days and finding a brunch spot in public housing estates shouldn't really come as a surprise anymore. nonetheless, we found a place in Bedok North that not only has a fairly long history (indicating that it withstood the tests of time), but also carries a pretty uniquely curated menu to top off their craft coffees. it is no wonder that despite its humble location and small footprint that it's still rated one of the top cafes in Eastern Singapore.



Percolate Coffee is located at the foot of a public housing block in Bedok North. it's exterior sports a clean-cut and simple facade with a cosy interior that probably only seats about 25 people. The store enjoys a good following almost every day of the week and it's also one of the few east-side cafes that are open on Mondays! the menu innovates from time to time, although each version seems to be very much bespoke with focus on healthy ingredients. The coffees are also a strong-sell here making them a pretty complete cafe proposition.



We started with a serving of this Unagi Soba, which is essentially grilled eel with buckwheat Soba, served with Japanese fishcake, cherry tomatoes and edamame in a flavourful soba broth. this dish was actually really enjoyable, a strong tasting soup base, generous portion of Unagi and a surprisingly filling meal. its no wonder that this dish was labelled "something awesome" on their menu.



adding a healthy twist to a local favourite, we also tried their Chicken Rice Couscous, served with smoked chicken breast, goji berries and lotus seeds, complete with a distinctly familiar chicken-rice flavoured couscous grains and the signature garlic chilli sauce. there are indeed healthier ways to enjoy one of Singapore's most popular hawker fares, with their distinct taste captured as well. we would really give our main selections the thumbs up.



the aroma of coffee lingers throughout the shop and would probably be too good to miss. this Mocha had a rich chocolate taste to go with their strong expresso taste. however, the talking point to try would be their Thai Coco Black or black thai coffee served inside a real coconut husk. very Instagram worthy and good, strong americano coffee to cap off a wonderful meal. we may not be regulars to the East, but would certainly recommend everyone to give Percolate Coffee a try if you drop by Bedok.
