About The Populus
The Populus is a Singapore-based café and coffee roaster at 146 Neil Road that pairs a broad food program with its own line of seasonal specialty coffees. Its coffee arm, 2º North, emphasizes sourcing and roasting exceptional coffees and describes its work as built “with friends since 2016,” which suggests a collaborative roasting identity. The concept is notable for blending roastery output with an eclectic, globally influenced menu rather than treating coffee as a standalone offering. It also has a weekend and public-holiday Level 2 lounge, adding a distinct on-site hospitality layer.

★★★★★“Loved the beef check which was cooked to perfection and so tender!! The seafood linguine was also very flavorful with a generous portion of crab meat and scallops. The duck grain bowl was really good as well with all ingredients coming together so nicely!! Highly recommended!!”

★★★★★“I had a really good brunch here. The matcha cream was really good and the smoke duck was perfect. I love the service - the Chinese guy was courteous, fast and friendly. The place is cozy and comforting. I left feeling really happy and full. Thank you ❤️”

★★★★★“Nice place for brunch. Good coffee, go for extra hot. The breakfast platter was hearty, only the rosti was rather oily and not that crispy. The eggs were good, the salad fresh.”
