"Went for bfast and really love the environment, the atmosphere. They serve brunch foods, can DIY too, and nice drinks. My niece enjoyed the iced caramel chocolate, while I really enjoyed the bagels. Love it that they provide water too. Will be back for sure"

"Really good brunch spot tucked away at novena medical center. Scrambled eggs was runny and beautifully executed. Beef brisket was a little too salty for my liking tho but overall, a decent meal."

"We had brunch at Hidden Sparrow last weekend, and it was such a pleasant experience. The place was full when we arrived, but the wait was only about 10 minutes before we got seated. As the name suggests, the café is quite hidden — but definitely a hidden gem! Even though the restaurant was packed, it wasn’t loud at all. The crowd was calm and mature, so I could finally enjoy a slow and quiet brunch without the usual noise. The drinks were decent, nothing particularly special, but the food was really impressive. It’s honestly the best brunch menu I’ve had in Singapore so far (though my experience is still limited since I recently moved here and have only tried a few places). Portions were generous, prices were very reasonable, and overall it was such a satisfying meal. I’d love to come back again in the future. Absolutely recommend!"

"Yes its at Novena Medical Center, take the lift to level 8 and turn left and walk down the quiet corridor. Ordered the Spicy Mushroom Pasta and the Beef Brisket Pesto Pasta. Yummies! Mushroom was juicy and spice was perfect. Beef brisket was just right, saltiness diluted by the mix of the pesto pasta. Will come back again o try more things!!! Quiet little "cafe"? Small place so mind your volume. (I broke this rule T.T)"

"It feels like a comfort food. If you are in the area, u can come here for pasta, rosti, breakfast items. Coffee seems good but we didn't try. The ambience is nice and its not so loud so you can have a good conversation. We come on Wednesday morning 9 am. Its not busy."

"I ordered their cacio e Pepe and ice chocolate. Both were amazing, pasta was super creamy and cheesy but not too overpowering and their ice chocolate is not too sweet! I must say hidden sparrow is really a hidden gem! I would come back again for more and looking forward to trying other pastas on the menu! The atmosphere here in this quaint little cafe is perfect."

"Truly a hidden gem! Love the decor and appreciate the friendly service. Ordered the masala chai latte and smoked beef brisket pasta. The chai is one of the best I've had - they use real tea leaves and spices; none of that flavouring syrup that some places use. Protip: ask for a refill of hot water so you get another cup out of it, albeit watered down slightly (depends on how much milk remains in the pitcher). On to the pasta - it's been a long time since I've had pesto outside as many places use pine nuts (I've pine nut syndrome) but Hidden Sparrow uses cashew nuts! I guess they were out of malfadine for the pasta so quadrato (?) was used instead - I would like to suggest that customers be told in advance and/or offered a choice. Quadrato does mop up sauce really well but I'm not a fan of the texture and would probably have ordered something else if I'd known. It was cooked perfectly though. The brisket was really tender and complemented the mild pesto well. Will be back!"
