If you’re wandering through the bustling streets of Singapore’s Orchard Road area, make sure to carve out some time to discover a delightful treasure tucked away inside Far East Plaza: Fan's Cafe. This charming café, located at 14 Scotts Rd, #01-41, exemplifies what it means to be a hidden gem, offering a unique blend of flavors, atmosphere, and warm hospitality that will leave you coming back for more.

Fan’s Cafe specializes in serving exquisite Japanese-inspired bakes, with the star of the show being the Shio Pan. This delightful bread is a masterclass in texture and taste; light and fluffy on the inside yet delightfully crispy on top, it’s lavishly bathed in just the right amount of butter to achieve perfect richness without overwhelming. Each bite is an invitation to bask in its savory goodness, and it’s perhaps no coincidence that patrons rave about it as "phenomenal"—a description echoed by numerous satisfied visitors.

Pair your Shio Pan with a perfectly brewed coffee or matcha—both are crafted with utmost care. Regulars have lauded the smoothness of the coffee and the vibrant, rich taste of the matcha, which is made using carefully selected beans and freshly ground powders. As one devoted customer, Connie Ting, fondly noted, “Food that’s made with so much love…must try coffee.” This sentiment encapsulates the ethos of Fan's Cafe, where each ingredient is treated with the reverence it deserves.

Step inside, and you'll be enveloped in an atmosphere that's as warm and inviting as its owner, Fan. Guests appreciate not just the food but the opportunity to engage with her, learning about her journey from Japan to perfecting her craft in Singapore. Her passion resonates in every conversation and meal, leading to an experience that feels more like visiting a friend’s home than a café.

From family outings to solo visits, Fan's Cafe is a cradle of creativity and comfort. Regular patron Max Wende describes it as a place where "the matcha and shio pan were absolutely delicious, perfectly balanced and so fresh." It’s not just about food; it’s about creating memories and connections—with the person behind the counter and fellow food lovers sharing the space.

With its reasonable prices, including the Shio Pan for just SGD 4.00 and delicious Khohi Choco and Kurugoma for SGD 4.00 and SGD 3.50 respectively, Fan's Cafe is a must-visit for anyone in the vicinity. Whether you’re a local looking for your next coffee spot or a tourist in search of authentic flavors, this café promises not just a meal but a delightful culinary experience that warms the heart and belly alike.

Next time you find yourself in Orchard, don’t miss the opportunity to create your own cherished memories at Fan's Cafe—where flavor, warmth, and community come together in perfect harmony.

Hidden Gem in far east The shiopan was phenomenal! Super flavorful and fluffy, and crispy on top. It has a good amount of butter which isn’t too rich. Coffee and matcha were amazing too :) Great atmosphere

I especially love the coffee and Matcha! The taste Is very smooth! Get the chance to chat with the lady boss, the beans are carefully selected, freshly grind and make. Matcha powder as well! Their signature is also Shio Pan, the owner flew all the way to Japan to learn and bake everyday. Food that make with so much love…must try coffee. Matcha is my daughter’s favourite.

Stopped by this bakery and tried the iced latte and shio pan—both were excellent! The latte was smooth and refreshing, and the shio pan had the perfect balance of soft and savory. Definitely worth a visit.

I absolutely loved this coffee shop! Fan, the owner, was incredibly warm and welcoming. She not only made great recommendations on what to try there but also suggested some amazing local restaurants. We had such pleasant conversations and she truly made the experience memorable. The food was excellent as well. They serve only one type of bread, but it is clear they have perfected it. The shell is beautifully crispy, while the inside is warm, soft, and buttery. Simple, yet done to absolute mastery. On my first visit I tried the matcha latte and it was so good I had to come back the very next day. Fan even gave me a sneak peek of a new menu item, the Strawberry English Breakfast Latte. It was perfectly balanced, not too sweet, yet packed with flavor. Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend this spot, not just for the food and drinks but also for the heart and passion Fan puts into everything she does.

What a hidden gem at Far East Plaza! I happened to pass by Fan’s Cafe and I’m so glad I did. The shio pan is absolutely delicious— perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and buttery on the inside. The matcha strawberry is such a delightful treat too! The owner actually learned the recipe in Japan, and you can really taste the authenticity in every bite. She’s truly perfected it. No need to fly out just to enjoy good salt bread. To top it all off, the lovely owner even gave me a complimentary Earl Grey tea, which made the experience extra special. With her warm hospitality and amazing bakes, this is definitely a place I’ll be coming back to again and again. A must-visit gem!

Was trying to find a place to take a video call, and came across this cosy spot by chance. Clean, functional and well maintained space. Only ordered a hot matcha latte, but it was made well with care. Owner (?) also very kindly shared wifi password, when I asked if I could use it for the call. Definitely need to come back to try the Bakery and other drinks*

I enjoyed a freshly baked Japanese shio pan and the best strawberry matcha latte at this cozy café in Far East Plaza. As a Japanese person, I was truly impressed by the quality of the shio pan — soft, fluffy, and perfectly balanced with a light, savory flavor. The strawberry matcha latte was rich, creamy, and beautifully presented. I also love that they stay open until night, so I’m planning to come back for a relaxing evening treat. Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic Japanese shio pan and unique drinks in Singapore!
