New Plant-Based Cafe Openings to Know in Singapore This Quarter
Singapore's cafe culture keeps evolving, and the first quarter of 2026 has brought several exciting new plant-based openings worth adding to your must-visit list.
📅 18 February 2026📰 SG Vegan Community
Singapore's plant-based dining scene opened 2026 with a burst of ambitious new concepts — from gourmet all-day brunch spots to affordable heartland noodle bars. These Q1 2026 openings signal that vegan food in Singapore has decisively moved beyond health food stores into serious culinary territory.
- 🍽️ FLORA — Modernised Peranakan (Duxton Hill, Jan 2026): Helmed by former Labyrinth chef Marcus Koh, FLORA is a fine-casual vegan restaurant reimagining Peranakan cuisine with entirely plant-based ingredients. Signature dishes include blue pea flower otah, jackfruit buah keluak, and chendol semifreddo made with coconut cream and gula melaka. Average spend is S$45–65 per person; reservations essential on weekends.
- ☕ Sprout and Co — All-Day Vegan Brunch (Joo Chiat, Feb 2026): This cosy neighbourhood cafe specialises in creative all-day brunch. Their mentaiko-style mushroom toast (made with plant-based spicy roe), coconut milk French toast, and housemade oat lattes have already earned a weekend queue before 9am. Average spend is S$18–28; walk-ins only on weekdays.
- 🌿 The Root Bar — Vegan Cocktails (Telok Ayer, Feb 2026): Singapore's first dedicated vegan cocktail and small plates bar ferments its own shrubs and kombucha in-house, with a menu that rotates seasonally using local produce. Kitchen closes at 11pm but the bar stays open until 1am Thursday through Saturday — a genuinely new concept for the Singapore F&B scene.
- 🍜 Hao Chi Vegan Noodle Bar — Heartland Value (Toa Payoh HDB Hub, Mar 2026): Affordable plant-based zi char–inspired noodles with eight broth options including lemongrass tom yum and dark soy char siu. Prices start from S$6.50 — this is vegan fast food done with care and a hugely welcome addition to a heartland location outside the CBD bubble.
- 🧁 Kind Patisserie — Vegan French Bakery (Holland Village, Mar 2026): An entirely vegan French-style patisserie producing croissants, eclairs, and custom celebration cakes using plant-based butter and aquafaba meringue. Wedding cake inquiries are already booking three months out. Walk-in pastry selection is available daily from 8am — arrive early as popular items sell out by 10am.
Singapore's vegan cafe scene is clearly past the trend phase — these are serious culinary concepts with skilled chefs who happen to cook without animal products. Follow @sgvegancommunity for ongoing 2026 reviews and new opening alerts.
