Props for serving up old-school Halal hotdogs and shakes. I tried the classic Coney dog; the chili on it was decent but not overly impressive, and the nacho cheese sauce seemed more for color than flavor. The fries and chocolate mint milkshake were additional charges, but neither was outstanding either. The milkshake was quite icy and lacked minty or chocolatey flavor, with a lot of unmelted chocolate chips. I'd say go if you're nearby, but don't expect Shake Shack quality.

Its not as spacious but it has that american pop cafe feels like a good one-stop shop for fast food.
It's not as spacious, but it has that American pop cafe feel, making it a good one-stop shop for fast food. The cons would be that it's so hard to find parking and that it's pricey.

Food - 9
Ambience & staff presence - 9
However, opening hours accuracy - 3. Twice I've made an effort to go down on Sunday (before 9pm), as I know the last order is an hour before closing. I drove by to see that it was closed at 9pm, even though it's stated on all social media that they close at 10pm.
I really love your food and ambience, but please put in the effort to at least state your opening and closing times properly and stick to them. It's disheartening for consumers to drive from all parts of Singapore only to find a "Closed" sign.

Food is good, but the opening time stated on Google does not tally. Serving time could be better, but the friendly staff makes us forget all that.

Tasty Belgian waffles and reasonably priced. Appreciated the surprise birthday song and the candle on the waffle ice-cream. A perfect place to chill with card and board games!

The Chilli Beef Fries and Strawberry Cheesecake are a must-try. Besides that, we had the Black Pepper Chicken Katsu, Mentaiko Hotdog, and Avocado Gula Melaka. The bread was soft. I couldn't taste the avocado in the Avocado Gula Melaka Milkshake, though. For two of us, this was very filling . Go try it, guys! …

Chanced upon this cafe during one of my morning walks in the vicinity. Checked reviews and found nice feedback about the place, so we went down that very evening to try out the food.
The black pepper crispy chicken burger is very good. The chicken was indeed crispy, thick, and juicy. The black pepper sauce was also on point and not overwhelming.
I ordered Pop's Coney Dog because I saw some really nice photos posted by diners who had tried them. It was a good-sized hot dog bun topped with homemade chilli beef and, as you can see from the photo, generously covered with nacho cheese. This is a first for me to have nacho cheese sauce over a Coney; usually, it's mustard sauce that I see. It was such a pity that the flavour of the chilli beef was masked by the generous amount of nacho cheese sauce, so I didn't really taste the chilli beef. Other than that, you can really tell that good effort was put into making this hot dog. It looked as good as what I had seen in the photos. If I were to come by again to try this, I would probably ask the chef to go easy on the nacho cheese sauce.
For each of the above, we topped up to make them sets, which came with fries and a drink.
The drinks – strawberry cheesecake shake and iced strawberry passion tea – were pretty average.
Lastly, we ordered a double scoop of gelato on top of a waffle. It took a while for them to prepare the waffle, but it was so worth the wait. It was one of the best waffles I have had in these two years: slightly crispy (not hard) on the outside and moist and warm on the inside.
The staff are very friendly and warm. We had a wonderful dinner and will definitely be back. For me, it's to try the other hot dogs; they really look so good in the photos posted by other diners.
A minor drawback of this place is that the nearest car park is at the stadium opposite (some walking needed, unsheltered). On a fine day, it's actually okay, but it rained on the evening we went, so bring your umbrellas along if you think it's going to rain.

Found this place via TikTok. Went there at 11 pm on a Saturday and it was packed! Luckily, we managed to get a seat without waiting too long. The friendly staff (all of them) made the whole place very welcoming. The food is good, and their sausages (bratwurst?) are fantastic. I had the spicy chicken bolognese that came with the sausages, and an avocado + gula melaka milkshake that wasn't too sweet, which is good! I also tried the meatballs, and oh my, the meatballs are good! We also shared a coney dog, and all of us enjoyed it!
Ended the whole meal with some desserts and a cold iced mint tea. Food coma, anyone?
10/10, will come here again for midnight supper as they are one of the few places in SG that open till late!
