Grain Traders

Built my own bowl at $17.50. Quite pricey for the portion. For base, they allow you to mix it up, tried the seasons basmati rice which was good and barley mushroom which was just okay. For protein, I took the beef but found the texture wasn’t so good, there were bits I couldn’t bite through. For veges, I took eggplant and tomato salad dishes, not too bad. Toppings I had cauliflower dish, slightly spicey for me. Sauce had beetroot yoghurt, not bad! Overall, a nice quiet place. Food is okay but q pricey. Beef texture/ cut could be improved.

Expensive for takeaway salad at sgd17.5 but cheap if you select the premium meats that come at no extra cost, like beef and salmon, and dine in at venue. Matcha was ridiculously ex, didn't try it. Queue is snaking by 1215hrs. Come by 1145hrs to get seats and short queue.

Grain Traders catered the opening of an event I hosted and they killed it! The food was amazing—fresh, flavourful, and beautifully put together. The biggest hit was definitely the fresh juices and iced teas. So refreshing and perfect for the vibe. Huge thanks to the team for making everything so easy and delicious. Would 100% recommend for any event.

The drinks are chock-full of superfoods and feature on-trend ingredients, giving customers the option to add a creative twist to their usual order. The space itself has a cool, LA-style ambience that makes it feel effortlessly stylish.

First time at Grain Traders Singapore and I’m impressed! The staff are super friendly and make you feel right at home. My coffee and eggs were perfect, and the space is so bright and cozy. Perfect for a calm start to the day. Will definitely be back!

been a regular here for 1-2 years, food here is healthy, filling and delicious:) some may consider the food here to be pricey, but honestly the quality and effort put into making the food makes the price justifiable, not to mention the portion is pretty adequate, as compared to other salad shops that charge similar prices but the food ain’t as good🙂‍↕️ one thing i like about GT is that they weigh out the food, so you pretty much get consistent portions everytime you visit ++ there is a wide variety of unique food options to choose from, pretty much the same menu everyday with a few new additions every month (if a certain ingredient is in season) but since i’m the type that won’t get sick of eating the same thing everyday, this works perfectly for me hahaha i wld say it is worth trying the new dishes that they bring in! hope they would bring back the squash or the brussel sprouts😋 the staff is very very friendly and accommodating, they remember my peculiar (?) order everytime i come in (maybe bcos i eat alot LOL), so i would say service is 100/10❤️‍🔥 wld like to add that mila is genuinely the best cashier i’ve met, not bribed to say this 🤣

Alot of varieties, the natural grain flavor really stands out. MILA and the team are super friendly and you can really feel the great teamwork. Try once and you’ll def be addicted. NO JOKE!!

Used to love this place for their healthy bowls for lunch but loving this place even more for their wholesome breakfast!! They have a sweet or savory options for breakfast and I honestly can never decide one over another. Sweet breakfast is usually coconut oatmeal with granola and banana on top - I would gladly have this for my death row meal. Savory breakfast is a choice between pita or polenta, with egg, two veggies, and dips. Super yummy too❤️ My greatest fear would be them stopping the breakfast menu💀💀

One of my favorite breakfast/lunch places when I wanted something healthy in Singapore! For breakfast, I've had their polenta and oatmeal. They give you two 2-3" circular pieces of grilled polenta with greens, beans, and avocado. For oatmeal, it's a big hearty scoop with delicious toppings. Oatmeal's a little bit on the sweeter side but what I loved about it was how sticky it was. Both are $8 SGD which is a little bit pricey but totally worth it. For lunch, I usually make my own bowl. I've had their tuna, salmon, and chicken as protein with toppings such as apple kimchi, beans, and roasted veggies. For dressing, their beetroot feta yogurt, wasabi, and coconut curry were my favorites. All the ingredients are super fresh. I also love their concept- it's healthy with unique flavors! The only thing I wished they offered was giving the option of doing half greens and grains for the base (you can only get salad only or noodles/rice only). Service is super quick (even during peak hours) as it is in the hustle and bustle area of CBD. Definitely recommend this place to anyone in Singapore who is looking for something healthy and hearty!

Let me make it clear, I am only taking off one star because of the price, as other people mentioned, of the bowls and drinks. As everyone says, the quality is there, but for lunch, it may be too pricey for an every day occasion. HOWEVER, I did want to review something that most people don't think of when they think of Grain Traders: THE BAGEL SANDWICHES. Only $10 and you get: a bagel, a protein, a spread, a veggie, and something extra. I always get their plain bagels toasted (they only have 2 types of bagels unfortunately), with jalapeno cream cheese, cured salmon, avocado, and spinach. ALL THAT FOR JUST $10! Great deal! The only sad part is that breakfast is only available 8am-10:30am. Booooo. I want bagels for dinner!

This will put a dent in your wallet, but once it touches your lips, it's just so good! I understand the appeal. In CBD, tons of people want healthier options, and this is definitely one of them. There are a lot of choices here, and possibilities seem endless. I'm usually the type who'd rather just choose whatever combos they offer, but none of them really appealed to me so I went the custom bowl route. You get to choose from lots of different grains, proteins, and veggie add-ons. Everything I chose tasted great: the charred corn, striploin steak, pickled capsicums, and the bean pico de gallo. Additionally you can choose a sauce, and that in itself took me a while because there was a lot and I wanted to try so many! Depending on what you get it could be $15-20. For Singapore, that's a pretty expensive lunch. To beat the crowd, you seriously have to go between 11-11:45, because once 12 comes around the queue spans the entire restaurant and there are no seats available. Enjoy your healthy lunch! I, on the other hand, just need to learn how to make all of these ingredients at home so I can assemble myself!

Delicious.. BUT EXPENSIVE! I really don't understand. Does eating lunch in CBD has to be this expensive? I know there are bankers and lawyers but there are also underpaid consultants (aka me) and also others who earn a decent salary for a living. I call this pure indulgent eating here, and can only do it once a while. That being said, Grain Traders serves really good, fresh food. I enjoyed my food here tremendously. It definitely reminds of the fuss- free, health-conscious restaurants you get in Australia or the US. The concept is the same like The Daily Cut, you can either order set meal called "Hero Bowls" or DIY your own lunch. Same price at $16 nett. Hero Bowls section comes in 6 choices but since I was hangry (read: hungry + angry), i head straight to the DIY section. For the price you get to choose: 1 grain (quinoa, brown rice, japanese rice, or soba) 1 protein (beef, salmon or chicken) 1 hot vege (various items to choose from) 2 cold vege (various salads, kimchis etc) 1 topping (no, im not talking about rainbow sprinkles or m&ms here) 1 sauce (you MUST MUST try the MISO CARAMEL sauce!!) ........................and you get a bowl of wholesome meal. There;s also a coffee bar on the other side of the restaurant that serves decent coffee at the price you get from 'bucks. I got myself a cup of latte and it was pretty good, at $5.50. I spent a total of $21.50 of lunch today, which is equivalent to almost 3 plates of normal mixed rice from the hawker center. Will i come back, yes. Maybe once every fortnight. Or else I might have to get a bank loan to eat here daily. Lunch crowd (12-1pm) tends to get overwhelming so come really early or late to avoid the madness. Service is prompt and efficient overall! p/s: The miso caramel sauce is as good as the maple butter syrup from clinton st bakery. I can drink it on its own, I swear

Simple, good food that's also healthy fast food! The menu hasn't changed since they first opened, which is a good sign - it's not an F&B outlet that follows the latest food trends. A little on the pricey side, but your body will thank you, trust me! Satisfying meals every time I visit, and pretty good (attentive) service too!

Delicious healthy lunch option that you'll thoroughly enjoy eating. Every time I visit SG, I retreat to Grain Traders to cleanse a bit after a few days of extensive hawker center food.

This is my new favorite lunch place! The food and coffee are both above par, and I love the variety of healthy and colorful food options.

What's with the attitude here, ladies? Grain Traders must have the shittest service in Singapore, hands down. Not a single smile and really curt replies when we ask questions. It wasn't even at peak lunch hour. And I thought it was just me, maybe I had too many questions since it was my first time, but my two other girlfriends had the same treatment. There wasn't anyone in line after me at 2pm. Ok, maybe they were tired from lunch service. The quinoa was yummy. The beef ok... For the same price I could get just as yummy a salad without the bitchiest attitude from the whole bunch of staff. Not cool, Grain Traders!

Great food, crazy lunch crowd on a weekday (avoid if you wanna get seats) healthy eating never tasted so good. love the idea of the buffet line- the colors of the vegetables against great serving plates are clever. $16 for a bowl of hearty healthy portion. not cheap on the wallet but then again, we're in the CBD area. I will come back again

Love, love, love this place. I could probably eat it every day, for realz. Although I'd then be broke, but I'd be healthy, so what's more important? Anyway, my work people rave about GT all day every day, so I thought let me go see what all the fuss is about. I ordered the upstream which was really really good. The dressing was the real star, and although when you look at the amount of food you are getting, you start to panic, but you'll be full. I promise. You can also make your own salad, or bowl, or whatever, but they have some pretty good ones already put together. The second one I tried had chicken, and more of a Mexican feel, but the upsteam was def. better. For a meal, snack and water will run you $16. Not cheap, but def. worth it. I saw they also do breakfast, and have some interesting stuff going on, so looking forward to go when I have a free minute to spare in the AM. Perfect for those who work in the CBD and need a quick, healthy lunch, or live in the area and need something after a work out, or on the way home from a late night at the office.

Food is good but very expensive starting at $16 per bowl. The food has a lot of flavor and tastes healthy. Long but fast line during lunch time. Unfortunate that they don't provide water to their customers and cafe will not let you have tap water.

Obsessed with this place! My husband took me for lunch today and I forgot to take pictures of the food, but I had the steak and salmon bowls to share. Coffee was alright but the juices were delicious. Definitely recommend, but seating is limited and it's super packed during lunch hours. Still, people don't eat for more than 15 mins on a busy work week so turnover is not slow. Steak is more filling and salmon is healthier. Husband said he also tried the pork which was good. I can't wait to try the rest of the menu. Will come during non peak hours since I'm in school anyway and don't have a set lunch time. Too bad they don't have one near my school (INSEAD) otherwise they would sell out so quick! Maybe do a pop up for a month or something. Anyway, right now daily cut and salad stop are the only healthy options. And class ends late so it would be nice if healthy options are open, not just bar food. Anyway, go and eat healthy here!

Bought the Grain Traders SILO membership card for SG$ 160 several weeks ago because it gave me the chance to eat "create-your-own" bowls with salmon, tuna or chicken at a lower price per bowl. I don't eat red meat for religious reasons. Today, I went to Grain Traders at 100AM and tried to order a salmon protein for my "create-your-own" bowl. I was told I could not use my SILO member card to pay for the bowl, but had to pay extra for the salmon or tuna. If this was the case, I would have never purchased the SILO membership! What entitles you to raise the prices AFTER selling me the product? Feeling #rippedoff.
