A lovely breakfast place in a beautiful setting. Great options on their menu, loved the juices and the coffee is great. Expect a busy crowd whether it’s weekdays or weekends, kinda popular for the residents and cyclists on the weekend, and not surprised. The staff is wonderful, and the restaurant itself is beautiful and tasty food. Had a great time at lunch as well here and their sandwiches are huge, and good for sharing. And it’s a pet-friendly place :)

Loved the jchill seaside vibes here! The crab salad was fresh and flavourful – loved the pomegranate pops and mango mint dressing. Coffee was excellent too (Muje Mesina had beautiful black tea and berry notes) brewed by the Barista , Leo. Super warm service and made an amazing cup of coffee Staff were friendly and attentive, and the location is perfect for a relaxing afternoon. Will definitely be back!

Beet box -
Refreshing fruity cold brew coffee
Smash burger & Cubano sandwich -
I dunno how to describe it but very flavourful
King prawn mac & cheese -
Gets addictive with every bite~
Rainbow rice bowl -
Overall taste, reminds me of eating chicken rice. 👍🏼
Dark chocolate & roasted hazelnut cookie with ice cream -
The ice cream goes well with the freshly baked cookie
Highly recommended~
Not crowded and chill place to hang out by the quay.

We have visited again. This time our order was a Breakfast Pancake and Common Man Full Breakfast.
I particularly liked their chorizo baked beans. The herbed tomato was refreshingly good. scrambeled eggs and crispy bacon on the sourdough toast was hearteningly good. A piece of pancake dipped in maple syrup made the meal complete.
This is indeed a to go brunch place

A chill place.
They open early at 7:30 a.m. everyday. They don't take reservations, and on a public holiday, this place is crowded by patrons and there might be a need to wait for some time in a queue to be seated .
Food: I have had previous experience of ordering their "Common Man Full Breakfast". That was a lot of food for me.
Today we were two people eating. We ordered "Croissant Croque Monsieur" , "Bacon" (crisp and nice) and "2 scrambled eggs"(fluffy and creamy). I couldn't resist the Herbed Fries (fragrant with thyme and rosemary). The fries came in a reasonably big basket and we had to take back almost half of it back with us.
Price: Food is not cheap. The breakfast sets are priced between $25-30. With common coffee drinks you will spend an additional $6-10. Guess on a relaxed holiday morning, it was alright even if you pay a premium
Atmosphere: Ample outdoor space to sit back, relax and enjoy a sip of drink till the food arrives
Service & Staff: Very friendly, smiling and efficient staff. The tables are cleared for the next group of patrons very fast once one batch finishes the meal.
For us, drinks arrived within a minute after we ordered and food followed quickly after that.
We were taking back the leftover fries. After we finished our breakfast, the packing, billing and payment perhaps was done in less than a minute

Common man always have great ambience and deco - would love to sit and chill here for hours with the fab coffee. Food wise, portions are huge, good variety in the menu too.

A really nice brunch spot facing the quay. Coffees at common man are always good though the food isn’t the best.
I got the Turkish Breakfast and it was really greasy — even the flatbread was greasy. I couldn’t finish as I felt pretty sick of the taste of oil.
Otherwise, service is fantastic and atmosphere is great.

First impression is the outdoor area is very packed and squeezy. Almost have to excuse myself to get in and out of my table when walking through. Even though its packed, the noisy crowd does give a good vibe for a weekend brunch. And also despite the tight walking spaces, my 2 dogs are still capable in relaxing on the floor, almost unapologetic in how much walkway they have blocked. Food wise, both brunch dishes we ordered are satisfying. I have to make special mention to the HUGE Portobello mushrooms in the full breakfast set. It is really huge and my partner had to share with me as she can't finish it on her own. I had the avocado toast with poach eggs, almost my favourite brunch dish every time. I'm not sure if reservations are allowed on weekend, but I highly recommend it as it will be full.

Was here for a tea break with dinner friends so we just ordered drinks and a Herb Fries which was decent.
Prices are on the high side but then again this is in Sentosa. Lovely view of the yachts at Sentosa Cove.
