Drury Lane (Closed)

We were in the vicinity of Tanjong Pagar one weekend and decided to pop by Drury Lane (one of the numerous hipster cafes that have been sprouting up like mushrooms in the past few years). Getting a table took a while and it seemed filled with youngsters in their teens to mid twenties. The Place Seating is rather limited on the ground floor where the ordering counter and kitchen is. The second level offers more seats but comes across as cramp with tables small and packed rather tightly together.

I normally judge a cafe based on their poached eggs and drury lanes'' poached eggs are awesome.. I had the salmon with mushroom sandwich as well and the mushrooms were everywhere!! Couldn't see one empty spot of bread!   I loved their smoked salmon too.. Way fresher than what I had at November 8.. I am convinced that I need to head back to drury lane for some more smoked salmon with mushroom sandwich at only $8!! it is soo worth it!!   Their smores tart was also a good treat big enough to shar

It was a quick catch up with my old collegemate who came down to Singapore for a week of training. It has been years since after our graduation. So, it was great to catch up with him. He wanted to go to a small cafe and have a great brunch.I randomly googled and came to know this cafe, Drury Lane Cafe. It was a bit hard to find as I am not familiar with the place. Eventually, we found it and we ordered our brunch at the counter and moved to upper storey to sit down. While I googled for this cafe

About a year ago, this cafe popped up along Tanjong Pagar with the cafe development on Duxton Hill. Drury Lane is one of the streets in London near Covent Garden (not that foreign to me anymore now that I've walked those streets), and also this cafe that I'm featuring in this review. Needless to say, this humble cafe with little flashy gimmicks to make it outstanding has been swamped under the torrential waves of coffee movements.Drury Lane is a two-storey establishment, and the first thing that

Located along a row of shophouses at Tanjong Pagar, this red-doored gem was a lovely discovery. Looking kind of tacky and casual on the outside, the interior with its neat, warmly-hued sleekness was a delightful contrast - tiled floors, smooth wooden tables, the whole picture of a hipster cafe.Then the friendly crew informed me that there were more seats upstairs, so I ascended this flight of polished, sturdy wooden steps up to check it out. Needless to say, I liked what I saw very much - a vast

Do not be deceived by the crowded 1st level, i was deterred once but decided head on back to check them out. The cafe spans 2 storeys so head on upstairs to escape the oily food smells as cooking and brewing are all done in that little space. Oh but do note that you gotta come down to place your orders still.It was a terribly hot day and we headed up to level 2 as W had already gotten us a reservation. I was hoping for a cool reprieve from the crazy heat but there was none. The AC was super weak

Joining the ranks of Hipster cafes is Drury Lane Cafe, named after the street in London where the Muffin Man (in the popular nursury rhyme) lives. Not surprisingly then, Drury Lane Cafe offers a variety of promising home baked muffins and pastries, ranging from classics to quirky twists. Drury Lane Cafe is also popular for its all day breakfast / brunch, and artisan coffee.Ambience at Drury Lane Cafe differs depending on which level you dine in. The first floor is brightly lit by natural sunligh

Located on busy Tanjong Pagar Road, this cafe can be easily identified by its red door frame. Bar seats are available on the ground floor but I prefer the window seats on the second floor.Big 94 ($14): Hearty serve of sausage, honey cured bacon, mushrooms, baked beans, toast and eggs of your choice. This is one big breakfast that will hit all the right spot, plus it’s good value for $14.Bacon baked eggs ($12): This comes with mushrooms, tomato and homemade baked beans, finished with melted chees

Drury Lane has been on my to-go list and I finally had the opportunity to go there last Saturday. It was a happy brunch and I left the place with a satisfied tummy.Drury Lane is a 2-storey cafe with a cosy ambience. My only gripe is that the cafe seems to be ventilated by only ceiling fans and not air-conditioners so it might get a little hot and stuffy especially if you've travelled by foot under the scorching hot weather to reach the cafe. Iced Chocolate $4.50It did not have a rich flavour but

The entrance of the cafe! When we first arrive, the cafe was pretty empty but we proceed to the second floor to check out the place. The cafe is quite spacious and their decor is nice! However, it was quite dim at the second floor, probably because there weren't many guest yet. The three of us ordered the flat white, which has a pretty nice coffee art but taste-wise, it is not as good as I expected it to be. We all felt that the coffee is not strong enough. I ordered the Salmon Baked Eggs whi

My friend is migrating to Australia in January. And before she leaves Singapore, she invited us all to have a late brunch/lunch/snack t Drury Lane. She picked this place because it's near her yoga studio, ambiance is said to be quite cool, plus the "pay as you wish" muffin is also an attractive marketing strategy.So we went to this hipster cafe at around 3pm. We reserved in advance, so we didn't have to worry about having to wait for a table. When we entered the cafe, the waitress gave us the me

Apart from the Tiong Bahru café enclave, Tanjong Pagar has been another one lately with so many cafés around! Just down the lane opposite Cake Spade, Drury Lane is yet another of those hipster places in a shophouse.We were just full from our high tea snacks over at SPR.MKT, but decided to pop by after checking out their Facebook and got tempted by their candy bar pie.Candy Bar Pie ($5)Looking at this and think of peanut butter nougat, salted caramel and chocolate tart base, how can anyone with a

What I saw It’s difficult to miss the shop since it stands out like a giant bright red phone booth along Tanjong Pagar Road. And of course, what’s more befitting than having its name decked street-sign-style? Look in and you’ll notice limited seating inside: A quaint corner with wooden crates for seats and some bar seats beside the counter. But what greets you at the door besides the day’s specials is a fortunate “More Seats Upstairs”. Phew.It’s true. At Drury Lane, you pay as much or as you lik

Drury Lane is a cafe that is easy to fall in love with. It seems to have it right - an interesting and easy to remember name, shophouse in Tanjong Pagar, all day breakfast. And there's no way you can miss this red engine cafe along Tanjong Pagar Road.Upon entering the cafe, I immediately fell in love with the cosy ambience. There are two storeys. The lower storey is where the kitchen is and also where the brewing of coffee is. There are some bar tables as well as some seats that were constructed
