Terribly disappointing. Please refer to the promotion poster in photo. It is 5.45pm that I place order for this Nayang Dinner Delight that begins at 5pm. And they did not have Ayu Jelly and Lemongrass Cooler. Staff did not apologise …

Nostalgic Nanyang coffee and kaya toast at Esplanade Mall
Toast Box at Esplanade Mall is an outlet of the popular Singapore chain that specialises in traditional Nanyang coffee and kaya toast, evoking the nostalgic charm of old-school kopitiams in a clean, modern setting. The menu centres on the quintessential Singapore breakfast combination of thick-cut kaya toast, soft-boiled eggs, and rich, dark coffee brewed using the traditional sock method with robusta beans roasted with butter and sugar. Beyond the breakfast staples, Toast Box offers a range of local favourites including laksa, mee siam, curry chicken with rice, and peanut thick toast. The Esplanade Mall location provides a convenient stop for theatregoers, concert attendees, and visitors to the Marina Bay area seeking a quick, comforting meal or a coffee break with a view. The chain has earned a loyal following by maintaining consistent quality across its many outlets, preserving the flavours of traditional kopitiam fare while presenting them in a comfortable, air-conditioned environment. Toast Box embodies the modern Singapore coffee shop experience, where heritage flavours meet contemporary convenience.Based on 288 Google reviews

The queue was long, likely due to the nearby National Day Parade, but the staff remained composed, taking orders promptly and with a smile. …

Didn’t have most of the menu… but curry chicken was still good I guess!

Came on weekend 3pm, no line. Laksa and kaya toast were fine. Barley drink no taste. Padang cake was not too sweet
