We love HortPark, but always struggle to find a cafe that is open early nearby. That’s until we spotted Canopy, located right in the park. Not only does it open at 8am on weekends, but it is picture-postcard perfect when it comes to setting and serves the best breakfasts. Psst. There’s also a Canopy at Bishan Park too! At Saturday Morning Cafe, you’ll find that they have all the best brunch classics and some seafood options, too. With their two locations open 7 days a week, this is a perfect hangout spot for locals.

Familiarity with the cafe business is of course helpful, but pay at least as much attention to personality, temperament, and attitude.
