Quality food for decent price. Enjoyed the Saturday Specials which included smoked salmon and eggs on a sourdough crust. The bread was good and there was generous amounts of salmon and eggs. The dark chocolate brownie is perfect with a very rich chocolate flavour. Coffee is good too. Overall an excellent place to have brunch or dinner. Staff is very hospitable too.

Enjoyed a yummy breakfast at this little cafe. Highly recommended to try this hidden gem for good coffee and good food at a great price. I liked that there is parking available right outside the cafe, which is on the ground floor of an Office Building.

Came here for breakfast on a Saturday so we had the Saturday specials: cheesy salmon omelette with quinoa salad, and eggs and salmon sourdough. Food was good and so was the service. Also had drinks and bread pudding.The omelette was warm and soft with the salmon either wrapped inside. I liked the dill cream sauce on top which added a slight tartness to the dish and balanced well with the richness of the eggs and the mild saltiness of the salmon. The menu does mention the sauce is only a dallop but wished there was more sauce as it was just really good. My shredded cheese unfortunately was still a bit cold and not fully melted. Though considering the mild nutty taste of the cheese, its possible that its the kind that doesnt melt very easily, anyway it didnt harm the dish for me. The quinoa salad was ok, but nothing particularly noteworthy.The salmon sourdough was nice too - smoked salmon quantity was generous, scrambled eggs soft and fluffy, bread was tasty too. Not sure if they make their own sourdough bread as I saw some nicely baked bread on the counter, if it is then kudos to them.For the drinks, we had the cranberry kefir and sweet potato latte. Id say that the kefir was extremely effective in terms of its probiotic properties if you know what I mean. However, I feel like the drink was closer to kombucha than kefir. The latte was nice, sweet but not overwhelmingly sweet. Though its probably better to pair this with a main dish thats not so rich like what Ive done. Still tasted good though. Bread pudding was soft and warm. Nice dessert to wrap up the meal.

Came across this cafe from HSBC Entertainer app, and had been there a few times. Place is very interesting. It is located on the ground level of office building One Pemimpin. The ambience is nice with high ceilings and not too crowded. We ordered sweet potato latte, cuppuccino, hot chocolate, mashed potatoes with chicken, American cheeseburgers, sourdough with smoked salmon, and chocolate pecan pie. Overall food was not bad though sourdough was a tad too hard and chocolate pie was too sweet. Can go again. Closed on Sundays.

First of all, to put on record that Id give 4.5 stars if I could.TSP Cafe is located in the industrial / private estate of Jalan Pemimpin. Staff were friendly and hospitable. Saw a few of the customers were regulars and the service staff seems to be in good relations with them.We ordered the chicken tagliatelle, beef burger and a sweet potato latte.The burger was fantastic. With the Entertainer 1-for-1, it was incredible value. The patty was homemade and juicy. The buns were toasted perfectly. Potatoes were on point too.The sweet potato latte was pretty good, checking the boxes for a heartwarming, rainy day beverage.The pasta was a bit of a letdown though. It was well, normal. Still, at the price point, its great value!Another minor letdown (at no fault of the chef and staff) was that the kitchen was really open. My wife and I went home smelling like we just went for a barbeque.

Scrambled eggs and pancakes were nice but their chicken patty was not edible. Tasted weird and dry.

Review №13

Value for money healthy food in a cozy ambience. The soup n quinoa can serve 2 small eaters. Bread pudding is very average but the mushroom melt sandwich is quite good. Flat white really does become latte so U may like to specifically ask for double shot or less milk.

What I liked about this place is located at a light industrial building, it’s quiet and peaceful place to have my breakfast.Ordered the toast and egg, loved the crispness of the toast.Staffs are friendlyA good place to chill out for break.

Review №15

Extremely affordable, servers were prompt and polite, cafe relatively empty most times. Banana pancakes were awesome. Honey mustard chicken burger tasty. Scrambled eggs well executed, runny but not watery, buttery and just the right amount of pepper. Pancakes were fantastic when we went on weekend morning, but dry/cold on a weekday morning. They also serve honey and butter in plastic disposable containers, should reduce use of plastic and place the butter/honey on small serving dish instead. We were back 2 days later. Will be back again soon!

A simple yet cozy place to spend time in conversation with food and your drink of choice at super reasonable prices. Great place if u prefer less crowded area.

Review №17

Cute little place which has ample parking spots outside, service and staff were really friendly and there are big windows that allow natural light to seep in. The food is pretty affordable in relative terms. I ordered the chicken salad and it turned out to be pretty decent, however, my almond latte didn’t turn out that well - tasted really watered down and mouthfeel was flat. The bill amounted to $15.10 for those two items.

Very Affordable food. Would be better if the special menu can extend to weekend too!Food taste quite good, i would say the portion is small (but it matches the price). But the coffee can be improved.

Good food good service! Cafe a little out of the way, but has ample parking lots outside. Wallet-friendly, but portion is a tad small. We also ordered stewed pork with mash potato (forgot to take a picture).

Review №23

Overall a real gem offering good quality food at very reasonable prices. There was finesse in the execution of food & plating , with some creativity & generosity in the ingredients used. Definitely appreciate the effort of the chef especially when compared to some other “hipster” cafes that overcharge with lame effort on providing value. We liked the egg & cheese sandwich, mushroom sandwich & omelette.The coffee & Tea latte were alright, tad milky but pleasant enough.The cherry basque cheesecake was tasty but portion was small.Ambience was very cosy, spacious & clean with ample sunlight spilling in. Service was friendly and prompt.

Little gem tucked away in the housing estate. We had a morning run and then brekkie here. Sandwiches were well done with a lovely crisp. Coffee was decent and the big cookie was a nice surprise with crispy edges and a cake like center.

Review №32

The prices here are cheap, compared to other cafes. Then again, its set in an industrial building, not a usual cafe location, and its a bit hard to get to.Their bacon omelette is great, pancakes have scrambled eggs on it. Drinks are average. Not too crowded / noisy, so its a decent place to chill and do work or have a meeting at. Service is good and friendly.

Review №33

Ample parking space at the front and also at the back of the industrial building. Little cafe which serves dishes that has the home cooked flavour. Portions small compared to those in the regular cafes but understandable with the lower pricing point. Went cos was nearby and it was on entertainer.

Went on eatigo 50%. Mediocre pancake that cant even be compared to pancakes at macs. The patty was too mushy. The crepe, the soup made from cauliflower and potato, and the mushroom sandwich were decent. Overall: 6/10

A very bright & cosy place for a warm fellowship with loved ones or even with your business associates.

Affordable with entertainer app! The bread was well toasted and the cheese made it a top choice for brunch!The beef left an everlasting taste but was abit dry though! Potato (termed as chips) is really really really good👍👍With entertainer app 1 for 1, burger with chips is only $8 per pax!!

Review №41

Chanced upon the cafe on grab food as such decided to give it a try. Ordered bacon aglio olio and chicken mash potato, however the aglio olio was tooooo tooooo oily and slightly tasteless unless eating it tgt with the bacon. The oil could be due to the bacon as well, will try the mushroom aglio next time. The grilled chicken and mash potato is a great comfort food. Will try the other dishes again next time as the price is reasonable to give it a second chance.

Quiet and peaceful place for breakfast. A place for you to slow down your pace and sip a cup of coffee. Nice sandwich and omelette. Warm welcome and service here. If you need more choice for breakfast menu you have to visit here on Saturday.

Happy to find this hidden gem! Space was bright and airy with the huge windows. Reasonably priced food with decent portions unlike some places with higher prices and huge portions that you cant finish. We found that the dishes we had (creamy chicken crepe and cheese sandwich with vegetable soup) were not salty and nicely balanced. Our 2 year old son loved the food as well. This will be one of our regular places to go for weekend meals. 😁

Lovely Pretty Quaint Cafe.Tucked away in a seemingly secluded industrial estate, Tall Ceilings, Nice Views and Decor, spacious layout, makes this cafe a comfortable place to laze around.Ordered some sandwiches, omelette, and flat white. All are decently done and surprisingly affordable compared to current cafe prices now.Staffs are very friendly helpful and enthusiastic.Would definitely be back again to try their lunches again

Review №58

Hidden gem of a place. Straight up scrumptious food without frills, and great service. Can tell by the wedges that came with my mushroom beef burger, that they are serious about every item on the menu. The wedges were fresh, garlicky and savoury, nothing like the frozen stuff one typically gets. Love the tsp brunch pancakes too!

Nicely decorated cosy location. Music is good and service is excellent. Ordered the pan cake which is good and the mushroom and beef burger.The burger was slightly raw which they remade the whole dish for me. Really appreciate the service. In addition the chips that came with the burger was delicious. Bread for the burger was toasted well too.For the price point it was really worth it. Highly recommend for a drop by and enjoy the atmosphere .Will come back again

Review №86

The people at TSP are good people, but I genuinely hope you guys come up with a much better SOP.Coming here on a Saturday afternoon at 1pm+, the staff are overwhelmed although the cafe wasnt full and there were about 4/5 staff members, there are grab drivers waiting outside annoyed and the kitchen (that we can see while ordering) is in a mess. The ordering system seems unintuitive as it takes a while for the cashier to key in my order despite me only ordering 2 mains and 2 drinks. Tables have been left uncleared for a long time and I am told that the waiting time for my takeaway will 30 mins (only after I paid, which is a bit upsetting, please try to tell customers the waiting time before they pay 😅)But like every other review has said, the team is pleasant, understanding, patient and trying their best. I genuinely hope that the overall SOP improves so the staff can work more comfortably and not be so easily overwhelmed. I look forward to dining with you again! And hopefully then I can raise my review to a full 5 star!Edit: Received the food after waiting 40 minutes instead.The food was good and the chai was lovely.Edit #2: Thank you for the explanation! And Im glad to hear the wait time usually isnt so long, cant wait to go back for the Chai :)Edit #3: Went back again to try and the service as well as service time was efficient. However, the food isnt properly heated up (i had the chicken and pasta and the pasta was room temperature/chill). Regardless, would change the review to a 4 star

This is my favourite cafe in Singapore -- the service is so outstandingly great! Staff are cheerful and warm, prices are *amazing*, and the ambience is gorgeous. Its tucked away a 10 minute walk from Marymount MRT but well worth the trek. The coffee is also fantastic -- you really couldnt ask for more. Kudos to the TSP folks!

Lovely cafe with a great vibe and friendly staff. They are also the best in Singapore for custom orders and special recipes! The owner is amazing when it comes to a willingness to try new things. If you have a special order for a loved one, for a birthday or anniversary, this is by far the best place in the whole of Singapore! I have not been able to visit my family for so long due to COVID, but she has been able to make some of my favorite family recipes for me, and it has made a big difference to my happiness in this difficult time. Give them a call!

Review №97

A small cosy cafe tucked away in an unassuming office building in Jalan Pemimpin. We went on a quiet weekday evening for an early dinner. There was obvious pride taken in the preparation of the food, which was all fresh and homemade. Their Soups were hearty, the vegetarian lagsane and meatballs also very tasty. Good coffee too! Unpretentious food and friendly staff at very reasonable prices. Only suggestion would be to offer to heat up the bread pudding, which had been (presumably) lying in the display the whole day. Otherwise an overall excellent dining experience - will be back!
