Why trust this list
An independent, data-driven directory, not a pay-to-list ad board.
278 cafes scored, not just listed
Every business here, from kopitiams to specialty roasters, is scored on public Google reviews, not paid submissions, so you can compare on the same scale.
Praise and complaints both counted
Our scores weigh recurring themes like friendly staff and reasonable prices against real complaints like inconsistent food quality or slow service, so a high score means something.
Checked monthly, edited by a real person
Sarah, Editor, oversees the rankings, and each listing carries a last verified stamp so you know the information was rechecked, not left to go stale.
How we score every cafe
One published rubric scores each business 0–100 from recent public Google reviews: rating, review volume, recency, sentiment, and profile completeness. No pay-to-rank, no edited reviews.
- ✓ Sentiment synthesised from real reviews, not republished
