Cafe Muted - Coffee, Gelato, Waffles
If you’re in the Boon Keng area and looking for a place to rest because the buses take too long to come (bus intervals along this street were a 15-20min interval), or you’re waiting for your Xiaomi phone to get serviced (the one and only Singapore Xiaomi service centre is right next door) , you should give this place a visit.
Decent matcha: good roasted Americano.
Located conveniently beside the Xiaomi service centre, Cafe Muted offers more than just good coffee — it’s a perfect pit stop if you’re waiting for your phone to be serviced or catching a bus on this long-interval route. I personally appreciate their roasted Americano, which has a rich, balanced flavor that hits the spot when you need a caffeine boost. Besides great coffee, their matcha is surprisingly decent, with a roasted undertone that adds depth and complexity. The gelato selection is also worth trying, especially on a warm day when you want a sweet treat that’s not overwhelming. Their waffles pair wonderfully with the gelato, creating a delightful dessert experience. What makes Cafe Muted a hidden gem is not only its menu but its location and ambiance. It’s a quiet, comfortable spot where you can relax, whether you're waiting for a bus with lengthy intervals or just need a brief escape from the city buzz. It’s also a go-to café for locals around Boon Keng who want quality coffee and unique desserts without trekking to busier cafes. If you’re exploring cafes near Boon Keng, this spot blends convenience with quality offerings. Plus, the presence of the Xiaomi service centre next door means you can multitask—get your phone sorted while enjoying some great coffee and tasty treats. Definitely a place I’d recommend revisiting for anyone in Singapore’s Boon Keng area seeking a cozy café experience.
