Sometimes, venturing far enough from the usual Singapore city limits will yield surprises. Wildseed Cafe and Bar, located within the curious little green space scattered with colonial-style heritage houses at Seletar Aerospace Park, is one such hidden surprise. The parkland that surrounds the area is scenic and spacious, and for those not already in the know, a small number of restaurants have made their home here—from The Summerhouse to Wheeler’s Estate.
Wildseed Cafe & Bar itself is an offshoot of The Summerhouse. It sits in the same building, with The Summerhouse located on the upper floor of the charming bungalow. Wildseed Cafe & Bar is both a brunch spot and a laid-back patisserie that serves coffee and cakes. To switch up the pace, the cafe turns into a bistro bar in the evenings, offering garden-inspired cocktails and meats fresh off the grill.
The Lunchtime Experience: Wildseed Cafe & Bar in the middle of the day
Hot tip: If you plan to drop by on a weekend, arriving on the scene with a lunch reservation is a good idea. Even with a large dining area, Wildseed Cafe & Bar is popular enough that it attracts a large crowd in the early afternoon. Both indoor and outdoor seating areas can get impressively packed. Otherwise, if you don’t mind waiting, you can expect the crowd the dissipate after 2 pm.
The cafe itself, in particular the alfresco dining area, is airy and bright. Inside, fresh flowers and earthy tones decorate the walls and ceiling. There is a florist housed inside the cafe, which likely inspired their delectable Wildflower Latte ($6.50). Deliciously sweet and creamy, the latte is flavoured with hibiscus and served with a crisp meringue floating atop the milk foam.
The food menu is a mixed bag of standard cafe-friendly dishes. If a burger entices you, there are a couple of options: the Wagyu Beef Burger ($21) and Pulled Pork Burger ($20). The pulled pork option comes with a bacon cream cheese bun, pickled charred Japanese cucumber, horseradish, mustard, red cabbage slaw, and a heaping portion of curly fries. The Grilled Chicken Thigh ($20), marinated in green chilli, coriander, and lemongrass, is an interesting fusion of flavours. There are pizzas and salads on the menu, and smaller bites like Atas Kaya Toast ($8) served on sourdough bread, Highland Pancakes ($12) served with corn, maple syrup and butter, and a selection of cakes and pastries to choose from at the counter.
