Wow is what I will say for this place! Their coffee is one of the best I've had minus the ones I have had in Australia which they were all amazing!! Found this on Google and Yelp and decided why not let's have some good coffee, they did not disappoint!! Later to realize they get their products from Australia which made sense why the freaking Amazing coffee! It's such a cute area to sit and enjoy brunch, lunch or just good coffee! Service was great! We sat for few hours and had another amazing coffee. Must try while in Singapore

The food was delicious. The coffee was good. The service was great. The ambiance was cool inside, but once I got used to it, it was okay. Try the Banana muffin, they're delicious!

Toby's came to Singapore by way of Australia and I'm loving the vibe here. The modern warehouse look with its cool cement walls and warm wooden tables is hipsterness magnified. From the outside, I thought this is just a casual cafe, but going in, its actually a full service restaurant.I already had a light lunch, so I just ordered their croissant and an iced chai. Prices are higher due to the dreamy location by the Singapore River. My order came quickly and I tore into a supremely flaky croissant that's warm and nicely paired with (even more) butter and strawberry jam. Their iced chai is frothy and amazing. It's so amazing, that on a repeat visit, I ordered the same thing. Before you leave, browse their single origin coffee selection and coffee accessories. The coffee freak in you will surely be pleased.

Toby's Estate is a great spot to relax with some good coffee and have a chat with friends. There is some counter space along the front window where you can work at your computer and the view of Robertson Quay. With the free WiFi and ample table seating, it makes a great coffee shop. The prices are fairly high, so be aware, but the food quality is as well. Also, there are no bathrooms inside the place, but rather, around the corner of the building, so plan accordingly.

A comfortable, quiet cafe with the best coffee you can get! Ordered the flat white ($5.50 before gst) and was not let down by the smooth coffee which was not acidic and pleasant to the taste buds. Other special drinks include the mocha chai and their cold brew. No service charge but excellent service.

This is one of many place along the water at Robertson Quay and I know what you are thinking - yet another place that is just over-priced and does not really deliver nearly what one would expect. I can really understand that view as many of the places around here cater to people with more money than sense and taste but I do not believe that Toby's Estate is one of them. The coffee here is actually really good, they serve excellent filter coffee and the ice coffee is also one of the better ones I have had in Singapore. Espresso based beverages also do not disappoint but I seldom order them since the other coffees are so good and in my view a good filter always is preferable over an equally good espresso based beverage. The food is not bad but a tad bit on the pricey side so I do only eat here when my hunger coincides with an intense need for coffee. Service has always been very friendly here and I can see that as a regular you tend to get certain benefits as I have noticed that when I have been here a lot during periods (when I stayed close by) they always manage to find a seat and also sometimes give some free tasters of some coffee. I can agree with Michelle M that the bathroom set-up is a bit strange but that seems to be the same for several places around there but I never had any issues with it being overly dirty or messy - maybe it is for once the ladies room that looks worse than the men's room :-)

My new favorite joint for brunch even though it isn't very accessible (my definition: near an mrt). I hate driving into town area because I am pretty bad at directions and one wrong turn can cause me to loop around a couple ERPs. Not cool. The nearest mrt station is clark quay but it's still quite a far walk. Despite the long "hike", I managed to reach this place, hungry. All that walking really works up an appetite. The food 1. Soya milk latte - Loved it. It had the perfect nutty taste. 2. Croissant with scrambled eggs & honey bacon - Cindy Q was spot on in her review of the its croissants. It has to be the best croissants I've tasted!!! How on earth did they make it so flaky and crispy??? Magic. The scramble eggs were pretty good but then again how wrong can one go with them. Child's play. The honey bacon on the other hand had an interesting smokey flavor laced with a sweetness that reminded me of candy bacon (Epic Meal Time). It was ok I guess but I think I prefer my bacon savory rather than sweet. Lovely ambiance It's like walking into a cafe in Australia - Chilled, laid back and with a big coffee roaster. I would love to bring a good book here one day, read it while sipping on my latte and nibbling on those magically croissants! Overall great experience. Perfect for a lazy weekend brunch. Best thing is that they serve brunch till 5pm so for all ya sleepy heads out there who cannot get up in time for a MacD's breakfast, this is perfect.

This place is a regular coffee joint for me. 1) The coffee..always reliable. I have never had a bad or off one here. 2) Try the Gilbraltar for a bit more intensity than a latte and a bit more volume than a piccolo 3) They have lovely shattery-crust croissants here! 4) Love the decor and chill vibe 5) Fluffy scrambled eggs 6) A bag of Rodyk blend beans..costs $12.50. That's cheaper than many of the roasters in town and this blend really works with milk-based drinks. Chocolatey, well rounded, not too much acidity and therefore a crowd pleaser. 7) It's always a plus looking over the river enjoying your drink. Makes you feel you have all the time in the world and you're really out of the "city" 8) They serve a brioche here with great texture and lightness..so much so that I quite often order scrambled eggs on brioche to share..on the side of a croissant of course. Tip: Ask for jam, it's free! 8) Consistency (see 1, 5 and 8)

Toby's is just a stone's throw away from Kith Cafe which is also very popular with the residents in the area. Shall try that some time soon. Love the old warehouse feel to the area. Very grunge but they have since refurbished and repainted the exterior. We have noted this place some time ago before Toby moved in. Something we noticed about the recent development in the cafe scene is that they all kinda have the same decor. Brick walls juxtaposed with a black, white and wood theme. A little raw, a little unfinished. I'm not complaining because i like it this way. The flooring of my future home would be cement or i would have a cement wall feature. Nice airy space to chill at but my main complain is that there are not enough seats in the house! The concept of communal dining is cool but it's not very comfortable squeezing between different groups of people early in the morning just to get my caffeine fix. The space could be better utilized i feel. The coffee is easy on the palate. I usually don't take coffee without sugar but after having Papa Pahleta's, i concluded that good coffee doesn't require any additional sweetening. I would put this in the same category. Can't say too much about the coffee as my throat was crying for help from the soreness and i think coffee made it worse. :( Ham and Cheese Croissant was really good. The pastry is very light and airy and extremely crispy! I would love for the centre texture to have more pull though. The pastries are outsourced. S said something about it coming from Bread Project. I should just go straight to the source to get my croissant. S had the poached egg with salmon on brioche. My first impression is that it looks a lot like WH's but the brioche is not toasted and this is more buttery and very fluffy. Shall try the brioche with jam next time to get a more accurate feel to the texture. Nicely done eggs but i wouldn't say that this dish is spectacular? Not something i would definitely come back for. W showed up at Toby's after we were about done with our breakfast. He had the Toby's Breakfast- a composition of scrambled eggs, back bacon, roasted tomatoes and peppers and sautéed mushrooms. The eggs sure look runny enough. Shall try this when i feel better. Anyway, it's breakfast till 3pm daily so more incentives to come down. Downside to this place is also the really slow service. They really need to work on getting the coffee and food out faster.

As the coffee culture is starting to blossom in Singapore, Toby's Estate might just be the perfect addition to the local cafe scene. They have been roasting and serving cups of caffeinated (or de-caf, depending on your preference) goodness since 1998. Stepping into the cafe, you're immediately greeted by a gorgeous handpainted mural on the main wall, as you see above, which depicts the point of harvest to the end product. This is representative of Toby's mantra towards coffee appreciation, "for us, it is all about the journey of the bean. We take pride that we do our business sustainably and when it comes to the process of creating that perfect cup, we also take it very seriously." Serious is Toby's Estate about its coffee as you see the sheer varieties of ways you can get your cup done - espresso machine, chemex, clover, woodneck, V60, siphon... and before you get your heads in a mess with the sheer amount of geeky coffee terms, rest assured that the baristas will be more than happy to explain to you the various ways to preparing the drink. We love the idea of "man" versus "machine" as a way for coffee lovers to explore how the different preparation methods creates different coffees. We had a cup of espresso and cappucino each to taste the blend on its own and with the addition of milk. Needless to say, we were suitably impressed as it has a bold body, definitely will work for those who love their shots! Good news to those who love to work outside, Toby's Estate is wireless equipped so you can drop by for your appointments and meetings.
