Why Choose Palette. & Palette.atnight
Why diners choose Palette & Palette.atnight for daytime brunch cravings and intimate late-night dessert outings.
Decadent Korean-Style Brioche Sandwiches
Thick-cut toasted brioche comes packed with fluffy scrambled eggs, sweet corn, melted American cheese, and rich glazes like sriracha mayo and chilli jam.
My favourite is the Double Bacon Cheese Brioche which comes with scrambled eggs, corn, smoky bacon, two slices of American cheese and sriracha mayo on toasted brioche. It is seriously good.
Jaz Explores Hearty, Generous Breakfast Portions
Generous brunch portions featuring candied bacon and crispy hash browns offer a deeply satisfying sweet and savory breakfast fix.
The hash brown sandwich was crispy, cheesy, and super satisfying, while the candied bacon sandwich nailed that sweet-salty combo with fluffy egg (surprise corn inside!) and perfectly toasted bread.
Tony Lam A Comforting Home-Away-From-Home Vibe
The historic building, warm timber tones, and quaint vintage decor make guests feel relaxed and welcomed as if stepping into an inviting home.
No better way to say it, you didn't pay for the warm pastry and great cup of coffee, but a ticket into your own house away from home.
Dylan Taslim Unrushed, Homely Warmth
A calm, welcoming atmosphere invites guests to linger over brunch or evening treats without feeling rushed.
The quaint atmosphere creates a warm, homely, and cosy dining experience that makes you want to stay a little longer.
Kenneth Chiaseed Palette at Night Dessert Hours
The venue reopens from 7pm until 11pm, creating a relaxed, candlelit evening retreat for night owls craving sweets and coffee instead of a rowdy bar.
One of the coolest things about it is that they reopen in the evening from 7pm for “Palette at Night,” which transforms the café into a candlelit dessert and coffee spot.
Jaz Explores Intimate Late-Night Dessert Retreat
With soft, dimmed lighting and peaceful nighttime seating, it offers a charming destination for late coffee cravings and dessert dates.
The ambiance was cozy and intimate, with soft, dimmed lighting that made it perfect for a relaxed treat.

We also shared the lotus Biscoff mascarpone brioche, a soft and lightly sweet treat with a subtle richness from the mascarpone and a hint of caramel from the Biscoff.

Before you head over
Practical guidance on peak arrival times, evening waitlists, and historic venue layout.
Arrive Early on Weekends
Morning peak crowds typically stream in after 10am on weekends, so aim to arrive around 9am or reserve ahead if visiting with a group.
Expect an Evening Waitlist
Evening dessert hours can fill up quickly with limited seating, so expect to leave your phone number and wait briefly during busy periods.
Note Outdoor Accessibility Steps
The historic building accommodates prams inside, but wheelchair access to the rear outdoor courtyard is restricted by external steps.
