Ya Kun Kaya Toast is a Singapore heritage brand serving its iconic crispy kaya toast since 1944.
Ya Kun Kaya Toast is one of Singapore''s most beloved heritage brands, tracing its roots back to a humble coffee stall in 1944. The chain is known for its signature kaya toast, where thin slices of bread are toasted over charcoal until shatteringly crisp, then sandwiched with a layer of rich coconut egg jam and a sliver of cold butter. Paired with soft-boiled eggs dashed with soy and white pepper, and a cup of robust, frothy traditional coffee, it is the quintessential Singapore breakfast. Beyond the iconic toast set, Ya Kun offers a concise menu of local staples including French toast, chee kaya toast variations and iced Milo that round out the offerings. The retro-styled outlets with their green-and-white branding and nostalgic furnishings have become a familiar sight across the island, offering a consistent taste of old Singapore in every location. The brand''s longevity and unwavering quality have made it a must-visit for tourists and a daily ritual for locals. Start your day at Ya Kun Kaya Toast for a breakfast that has defined Singapore mornings for over eight decades. It is heritage served crisp, sweet and satisfying.Operating Hours

My usual order of teh C kosong is disappointing today. The tea is watered down. As a regular here, I noted the usual lady who prepared the drinks is not in today. So I hope she'll be back the next time I come. I also love the cracker Kaya toast. It's so much better than the bread toast!

Regular outlet for your trusted kaya toast with half boiled eggs. Quality of the half boiled eggs is very important and so far this outlet has quite consistent quality. Overall decent place for your snacks.

Ya Kun hardly disappoints! Freshly made toast and steamed breads, along with good coffee to go along the eggs. …

Great place, Great food, but not enough space. Always super long queue and not very in order! But generally staff are nice and food is perfect! One of the best toast and coffee shops in SG!
