MY AWESOME CAFÉ

My Awesome Cafe

Amazing place to grab a quick breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner in the CBD. Stepping in to My Awesome Café takes you away from work life, the polished surfaces in the CBD. The salads are generous, and the lasagna delicious and hearty. Wine and Beer flow aplenty.  The road to My Awesome Café did not only start with the renovation of a historical shophouse. It started way before, with the decision to take a leap of faith.  For Franck, the founder - a consummate F&B expert, it was a challenge to be on his own. But a challenge he doesn't face alone. He inspires everyone in his team to serve awesomeness, as he does, all the time. My Awesome Café is a business, as much as it is a playground, a school, a home. In their own little way, they hope to share with you the familial spirit that puts a smile on your faces that keeps us going everyday.

Our grandmothers were right when they said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. And you’ve probably noticed that over the years, breakfast has grown beyond the simple human need to ‘break the fast’ after a night’s sleep to something that is almost ubiquitous. You could say that breakfast is the very essence of the modern meal.

Wild Honey is created way back in 2009 because of the simple love of breakfast.

They love the limitless and delicious possibilities of breakfast – sweet, savoury, spicy, chewy, gooey, crunchy, simple and elegant – and are passionate that breakfast can and should be enjoyed all day.

Inspired by the travels over the years they bring you a beautiful collection of breakfast dishes that evoke the sensations of our childhood or take us to far-flung places as diverse as Paris, Mexico, Turkey, Yemen, Australia and beyond.
