Right next to Maritime House on Cantonment Road, Nylon Coffee Roasters brews up the real deal, using beans from exotic farms around the world. And guess what? You don’t have to twiddle your thumbs waiting for Nylon Coffee Roasters to open. Just stroll in and get ready for some seriously unique coffee roasts you won’t find anywhere else. Enjoy! Familiarity with the cafe business is of course helpful, but pay at least as much attention to personality, temperament, and attitude. Conduct thorough interviews, and ask insightful questions (how they have dealt with adversity before and how they would deal with a particular example in the cafe, for instance).

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! Fact: You're not going to get a lie-in until the kids leave home. The good news is that there are plenty of cafes in Singapore that open early for your essential hit of lunch, brunch and caffeine… Take the time to scout out the best options for securing a small business loan from a financial institution. You may or may not find your best deal at a bank with which you already have a financial relationship. Organizations like the U.S. Small Business Administration can help walk you through the process of securing your best loan.

In the early-opening stakes, Kith and its various locations is always a winner. Head to the Robertson Quay or Spottiswoode branch with your tribe from 7am, or Millenia Walk for an 7.30am open. Oh, by the way, the Ascott Orchard branch flings its doors open at 6.30am! The early bird might not catch any worms, but it’s sure to catch a decent coffee and great breakfast! Remember, on the rare instances when you are not in the cafe, your employees will be the face of your business. It’s 8am and you’ve been up for two hours. You’ve already completed three jigsaw puzzles, played mediator for a game of Snap turned ugly, built a cubbyhouse out of cardboard boxes and applied band-aids on tiny humans after a failed attempt to surf down the staircase. It’s time for coffee, space and sanity. Well, we’ve found exactly that at these cafes that open early in Singapore! So if you have early risers, or need a place to recharge after the early school run, you’ll want to hotfoot over to the Singapore cafes that serve the best babyccinos and yummiest coffee (extra shot, please!) – all before or by 9am!

A cool ‘hood deserves a cool cafe, and we’ve long been fans of the fresh bakes and wonderful coffees at the Eng Hoon branch of Tiong Bahru Bakery. You can’t go wrong with a perfectly crisp croissant, we say. There are now various locations across the island, and the majority (Funan is the exception) are open by 8am. Winning! Using locally sourced and organic ingredients, each dish is carefully crafted and ensures the feeling of a home-cooked meal perfect for a Saturday morning (or any day of the week!) You’ll feel at home and cozy as soon as you walk in. Breakfast is offered all day since that is what they do best! Stop by from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. every day.As the first Singapore cafe to use the renowned Slayer espresso machine (the top dog in the coffee stakes), you know the coffee is going to be good at Jimmy Monkey. Add some super-cute latte art, early opening, and locations in both East and West, and you’ve got your morning coffee fix sorted! This great coffee and breakfast joint was right across the road from our old office digs, so we’re well versed in its healthy, but tasty breakfast menu! If you’re feeling especially weary, sup a bulletproof coffee and then fill up on a hearty bacon and egg sarnie or acai breakfast bowl. The last dish on the menu is something quite different. Steve Anderson’s “Beau Soir, L. 6” rounds off the album beautifully and prepares you for the day ahead. Open daily, 8am-5pm 28. Wild Honey Fluffy pancakes at any time of the day… yums! Photography: Wild Honey via Facebook If you love soft, pillowy sourdough toast for breakfast then one of the Baker & Cook outlets should be your new go-to for an early morning cafe spot. Opening times vary between locations, but the branch at Hillcrest Road opens at 7am so props for that!
