Context: Breakfast on a holiday The Kaya Toast set truly reflects the rich culture and history; my children were delighted by it. The combination of the toast, egg, and soy sauce creates a well-balanced flavor profile that I enjoyed. If I had to offer feedback, I found the coffee a bit lacking in strength. It might not provide the kick for those planning a busy day. This place has become our favorite, and we look forward to returning whenever possible.

I tried Ya Kun Kaya Toast for the first time, and it was amazing! The toast was perfectly crispy, with a generous spread of sweet kaya and butter. I had it with soft-boiled eggs and a cup of rich, fragrant coffee ,such a perfect combination! It was my first time tasting kaya, and I loved its unique blend of coconut and pandan flavors. Simple, delicious, and definitely worth a try if you’re in Singapore!

Nice milk tea with the French toast and the kaya on the side to dip in, plus the two eggs in another tray as a combo at a decent price of S6.5. The only drawback was the table was not cleaned dimtley with a stain on it from the last customer.

Kopi O is robust and flavorful as per usual, but what stands out for this outlet is the desserts. Mango Coconut Jelly Snow Ice $7.9 is really good, with very fine ice, compared to most other Snow ice in Singapore.

Ya Kun／亞坤 is a popular spot for kaya toast, a classic Singaporean breakfast and snack. Most locations serve toast, coffee, and tea (hot or iced), and some also offer local favorites like laksa and nasi lemak. Dine in or To go. Kaya Toast with Butter Crispy toast filled with Ya Kun’s signature kaya — a smooth, sweet jam made from eggs, coconut milk, sugar, and pandan — plus a slab of lightly salted butter. The mix of sweet and salty is simple and comforting. Locals love dipping it into soft-boiled eggs with a splash of sweet soy sauce. So good! Kopi Strong and aromatic, Singapore-style kopi is made from robusta beans roasted with sugar and margarine, then brewed and filtered through a cotton sock. Bold, smooth, and full of character. Tip: Visit the Far East Square flagship store for charcoal-grilled kaya toast — extra fragrant and delicious.

Really cool place. The toast set meal that comes with 4 slices of toast with jam and butter, 2 runny eggs and coffee/tea is such a great way to start the day. There are also other variations, such as peanut butter, french toast, hard boiled eggs, cold coffee instead. They serve toast bread too. The coffee is a must try

Yakun is a beloved Singaporean café famous for its iconic kaya toast—a crispy, buttery delight slathered with fragrant coconut-egg kaya jam and a thick slice of cold butter. Served alongside silky soft-boiled eggs and strong, aromatic kopi (local coffee) or teh (tea), it offers a quintessential Singaporean breakfast experience. The toast strikes the perfect balance between crisp and fluffy, while the kaya delivers its signature floral sweetness. While the old-school decor adds nostalgic charm, be prepared for crowds during peak hours—the small space gets packed with both locals and tourists, creating a lively but noisy atmosphere. Service remains efficient despite the bustle, and the affordable prices make it easy to understand why this remains a decades-old favorite. For a more relaxed visit, try coming mid-afternoon when the breakfast rush has faded.

Given that Ya Kun is a chain restaurant this really should have been run better especially since this is located in Clarke Quay Central. When we arrived there was a line of maybe 5 people, no big deal and the line should go quick - wrong! This line was abysmally slow, the lack of staff resulted in the uncle who took orders to also do the drinks one at a time. Of course I don't blame the uncle but I blame management. The food itself was the perfect kaya as expected but my goodness I won't be back here for sure, I don't have a spare hour and a half to casually get food and wait.

After doing some research, I read that locals love having kaya toast so we decided to try some for breakfast. The service was kind of unfriendly. It seemed like the older women hate working there. I think they’re way too old to be throwing temper tantrums. If they didn’t like their job, they should have studied for a better job. Tables were clean, you just had to take your tray back to them. We ordered a set with peanut butter toast and 4 soft eggs. The result was okay. It wasn't super delicious, it was kind of mid. I think we should have just gotten some food at one of the hawker centers.

nothing too fancy. you get what you expect it was quite busy here when i arrived. there was a line that never seemed to disappear! turn over of seated customers is pretty quick as everyone tends to get their food, sit eat quickly and then go. no one really sits and chills out. i found the soy sauce somehow reeeallly salty here. i didnt add much but it felt like i was eating salt water. so be mindful with how much soy sauce you put in your eggs!
