Knots Cafe & Living (Paya Lebar)

Found this place by accident. Food was good. We had the fish and chips and burger. The ice coffee was great though. It was a bit awkward when we entered because the sign says please wait to be seated and we waited a while. In the end we went in to get the staff attention to get a seat. Vibe is cozy but there was a big group when we were there, so it was quite loud. Food came relatively quick.

Amazing nature atmosphere and calming background music! The staff were extremely polite! The food and drinks especially were delicious. Been a long time since I had fish and chips which were absolutely delicious. Pasta was great as well! Macha Latte perfect blend! Definitely highly recommended!

Visited this beautiful plant-themed café and loved the lush, green vibes—such a cozy and calming space. The waffle was really good, crisp on the outside and fluffy inside. Service was decent too. A lovely spot to unwind and enjoy a slow afternoon.

Popped in for lunch—place was packed, but luckily we got a table for two! 💺✨ Food was super tasty, coffee on point ☕️👌, and the service was amazing! Bonus: they also sell cute plants and home decor 🌿🏠 Definitely coming back!🩷😍

Fish and chips was a bit let down after seeing good Google reviews. The fish had a strong alkaline taste and the batter was too thick, thankfully the truffle fries saved the meal 5/10. The cafe ambience was cozy and decent for a chill catch-up.

I love this place! Beautiful and tastefully decorated. Food was meticulously prepared n prices are friendly to the wallet. A nice n relaxing atmosphere to hangout in the hot afternoons. Music was pleasing n soothing. Do expect some crowd during peak hours. Highly recommend to visit.

4 March '25 6:30pm Fabulous oasis of delectable and delightful reprieve from the stresses of workaday office or factory. Best Lychee cake I've tasted, with its light body, subtle lychee sweetness and surprisingly cool frosted layers. And the mudpie icecream cake was also lovely. No surprise then that it's by Island Creamery. On top of that, The coffees and dirty chai that came were excellent. The environment is truly therapeutic, with lulling soft music sprinkled over the sensuous vision of wood-themed decor embellished with soothing greens. There is an almost soporific feel to the place that makes one reluctant to leave. A paradise indeed.

A stylish cafe in the Paya Lebar area that also sells various plants and other lifestyle items in addition to serving up some great food. I tried the salmon sandwich with grilled pineapple which was very tasty. Also had a freshly squeezed glass of orange juice that was good. The decor is very nice but beware this place is super popular to making a reservation is advisable.

I ordered their Parma Ham Benedict to try which cost me $16.90 My colleague ordered their vegetarian pasta. My parma ham benedict is tasty. Filing too. Ambience is nice too. There is a big t.v. on the wall, a lot of flowers and furniture. Realised that they are under Xpressflower too as their staffs are wearing Xpressflower logo. Definitely will come back again for more.

I would love to give the place 5 Yelp stars but because the food only deserves a 3, I will settle with 4 Yelp stars after "agonising" about it for quite a while. 1. The garden theme The Interior decor gets a 4.5 stars: The garden-themed cafe is beautifully decorated with lots of plants & flowers, making it a little sanctuary with all the cute ornaments and knick knacks you can find all around the cafe. It is really perfect for couples or friends to have cosy get-togethers here. Unlike other cafes, the space is big! 2 storeys all in all, and the space between each table is of a good distance! No fear of people eavesdropping on your conversation, unless of course, you speak really loudly :p 2. Florist This place is owned by Xpressflower.com, a long established florist chain with 16 outlets in SG (I found that out from their website). There is a cold room with lotsa flowers inside. It's quite fun to peek through the glass window and see what flowers they have for that day. Very handy if you intend to just pick up some flowers to decorate your home or get a bouquet for that special someone after a meal here. 3. Furniture store Knots is also a furniture store! Everything you see, even the chair u sit on is for sale. Who knows? I may just decide to buy one one of these days. I was really quite taken with the round wooden table and chairs we sat on during yesterday's dinner. Let me think about it lol #wink 4. Food Unfortunately, this cafe really needs to do much better when it comes to their food. Last night was my 3rd visit and I must say I was pleasantly surprised that the dinner we had was much much better than the ones I had with my friends in the first two visits. 5. Reasonable price (value for money) Fortunately, the prices at Knots are really reasonable. Our dinner last night set us back around $35 for our 2 mains. That's really ok by SG standards where foods in many similar cafes can be quite expensive. So, for all the reasons above, I will keep coming back to Knots Cafe in the years to come. If only they improve on their food quality, I will happily write a new review and change my rating to 5 stars. Review 11/50 of 2017 reviews

Kept seeing this in my Facebook feed so decided to try it this morning. Lovely place with eclectic furnishing. Food was ok. It was a bit hot though. Will come back.

Great ambience and not too crowded. Pretty decorations and you can buy them. You can even get fresh flowers over the counter, who weekdays free delivery! Open till late and nice cakes and pastries. Family breakfast would be the best time

Love the food and the ambiance. From the outside, the building looks like another furniture mall. One have to look closely to see that it's a cool quaint cafe. The decor of home furnishings are all with tags which is for sale. I've been back a few times and they have not disappoint.

Love all the greenery and decor - a comforting and refreshing space that pairs nicely with the food they serve here. The kid's meal was a delight to the little one and includes a baby chino and a scoop of ice cream. Will I be back? Hell yeah!
