A new month brings a new list of cafés to add to your weekly rotation. And this coming July, we've handpicked five spots in Singapore worth bookmarking. Starting at the heartlands, we found a cosy neighbourhood bakery in Kovan by the same team behind Chu and Co, as well as a Korean-inspired café with crumbly scones, located in an unsuspecting mall in Queenstown. Closer to town, check out Visitors at the busy Tanjong Pagar Plaza, which looks like it was plucked straight out of Seoul's trendiest neighbourhood, or indulge in quality Hong Kong-inspired pastries at Mimmo. Finally, for a real pause, step into Mozmoji, where time stands still with pour-overs, desserts and a gorgeous two-storey gallery and shop with handcrafted ceramic pieces. Scroll on to find out more about these new cafés in Singapore.

1. Shu Bakery
Fans of the popular Serangoon Garden bakery Chu and Co will be glad to know that it has just opened a sister café nearby, this time with proper indoor seating and a full dine-in menu. No longer will you have to camp out in the heat or hang out at the outdoor patio – as much of a vibe it is – because at Shu Bakery, you can now dine in full air-conditioned comfort. The menu sees brunch plates, layer cakes, coffee, fruit juices and more, with highlights like the namesake Chu + Shu toast ($15.50), which features two open-faced toasts with kaya butter spread and Brazil nut chocolate praline with banana slices. There's also the duck rillette toast ($18.50) with ricotta cheese, crunchy asparagus and crispy shallots for a savoury option. Before leaving, make sure to pick up goodies from the daily rotating selection of loaves and pastries – available for takeaway only.
Address: 9 Yio Chu Kang Rd, Space@Kovan, #01-54, Singapore 545523
Opening hours: Wed-Sun 8.30am-4.30pm

2. Mozmoji
This gorgeous café in Chinatown took the internet by storm recently. Hidden in plain sight along South Bridge Road, Mozmoji's tranquil two-storey space doubles up as a ceramic gallery and shop, featuring handcrafted pieces by Chinese artisans. You'll find homemade desserts, specialty drinks like pistachio and black sesame lattes, as well as coffee on the menu, all served in ceramic plates and cups of your choice. The Isuzu matcha fresh strawberry cake is our favourite – balanced with a delicate sweetness from white chocolate instead of sugar, but on the pricey side at $15.80. The café also recently introduced a new line-up of pour-over coffees from Shanghainese roastery Big Sur, marking the brand's first appearance in Singapore. Afterwards, take your time to browse the gallery, or even take a piece home with you.
Address: 252 South Bridge Rd, #02-01, Singapore 058801
Opening hours: Tue-Sun 11am-7pm

3. Visitors
The same people behind Noci Pasta bar Noci Bakehouse now bring us Visitors, a new Korean-inspired café in Tanjong Pagar. The space is minimally furnished – think low sofas, wooden furniture, tasteful design touches and large windows that let in plenty of light, like the many aesthetic hideouts you'd find in Seoul's coolest neighbourhoods. The menu is quite straightforward, but slightly different from your average café fare, with plates like truffle egg soldiers ($13), a quintessentially British breakfast of toasted bread strips dipped in runny eggs. Meanwhile, those with a sweet tooth can try the croissant stuffed with ricotta and honey butter ice cream ($17) or mugwort Basque cheesecake ($11) for something more unique. The best part: it opens till 10pm every day, ideal if you're looking for a post-dinner hangout spot in the CBD.
Address: 7 Tanjong Pagar Plaza, #01-106, Singapore 081007
Opening hours: Daily 8am-10pm

4. Cafe Ondo
If you find yourself in the Queenstown area on a lazy afternoon, do yourself a favour and stop by Cafe Ondo for a quick tea break. It's another Korean-inspired café that has popped up recently, and it's located in quite an unlikely spot: Alexandra Central, the quiet mall right beside Ikea. The set-up here is simple: a couple of wooden tables and chairs, homey decor and a counter piled with pastries. The scones are worth a try – they're unlike the traditional English-style scones, which come with clotted cream and jam, but rather, sliced in half and stuffed with fillings like red bean and butter or cream cheese and spring onions ($5 each). Enjoy them with a cup of coffee to savour their chunky, crumbly texture. You can also try the lemon cakes ($4.20), butter tteok ($2.50), and drinks like the Jeju Sunset ($6.80), which features Hibiscus tea from Osulloc and yuzu marmalade from Jeju.
Address: 321 Alexandra Rd, Alexandra Central, #02-26, Singapore 159971
Opening hours: Daily 9am-9pm

5. Mimmo
For mid-day breaks or coffee meetings in the CBD, head to the newly opened Mimmo, a famous bakery from Hong Kong. The café has a unique concept where Italian and French pastry techniques meet traditional Hong Kong flavours. Helming the fort is Le Cordon Bleu-trained chef Domenico Giammarella from Canada. The viennoiserie selection is pretty varied, with treats like the pistachio bolo bao ($6) stuffed with pistachio cream and finished with a dusting of icing sugar and pistachio crumbs. Another must-try: glossy egg tarts ($4) with a flaky puff pastry shell and a gooey, creamy centre. Of course, there are also the standard croissants ($4) and pain au chocolat ($5). But for something special, go for the seasonal contessa ($5), which sees laminated pastry with raspberries and pastry cream, or even the build-your-own-pasta, with pasta options like strozzapretti, spaghetti and tagliatelle.
Address: 8 Marina View, Asia Square Tower 1, #01-05, Singapore 018960
Opening hours: Mon-Fri 8am-7pm; Sat-Sun 9am-6pm
