The 8 Best Kaya Toast Spots in Singapore (2026)

Updated November 2026 · 8 picks

The best kaya toast in Singapore in 2026 is at Ya Kun Kaya Toast in Far East Square, Killiney Kopitiam on Killiney Road, Tong Ah Eating House on Keong Saik Road, Heap Seng Leong on North Bridge Road and Chin Mee Chin in Katong. Ah Seng (Hai Nam) Coffee at Amoy Street Food Centre is the charcoal-toast pick.

Kaya toast is the classic Singapore breakfast: toasted bread (thin and crisp, or thick and soft) spread with kaya, a coconut and egg jam, and a slab of cold butter, served with two soft-boiled eggs and a cup of kopi (coffee) or teh (tea). A set usually costs around S$4–8 depending on the shop, with GST and sometimes service charge added in cafe-style chains. Most traditional kopitiams open early and close by mid-afternoon, so go for breakfast.
