Perched atop Telok Blangah Hill, stepping into Alkaff Mansion (housing Wildseed Café, Una and TXA Gastrobar) feels like going away to a chic English countryside. Nestled amongst lush greenery, the distinct European-style architecture is the ideal spot for a slow weekend brunch where lingering is a luxury that you can afford.

There are plenty of seating options in the café. On the ground floor, there are low-lying tables with cushioned seats which offer you a stunning view of the botanical garden outside. Head indoors where you can dine in its warmly lit interiors with wooden paneled ceilings or choose from a spacious tropical themed dining area with a beautiful feather centerpiece that makes you feel like you are in Bali.
There's also the unconventional outdoor setting which is especially popular amongst those who bring their pets along (refer to the last photo in this post) where diners can experience what it feels like to dine in a 'greenhouse' setting. You'd be hard-pressed to find a more spectacular outdoor location for brunch in Singapore whilst sitting among the greenery.
The menu offers a typical café selection with a not-so-typical twist - the Aglio E Olio Vongole Linguine comes with a generous serving of juicy clams while the Sesame Chicken Burger was paired with crispy twister fries. Carnivores have plenty of options to choose from the menu - such as the Smoked Pork Pizza and Wagyu & Pork Ragout Linguine.
Go for its prettily prepared Sweets Treats menu and take your pick from Citronella Passionfruit Cheesecake, Coconut Pea Flower Shortcake, Ondeh Ondeh Cake, Ispahan Cake amongst many others. We ordered the Wildflower Latte which came with a bobbing meringue and floating pieces of rose petals.
Tucked away in a quiet spot of Telok Blangah Hill, the café is the dream hangout to unwind from the city's hustle. Topped with a relaxed vibe, it gets even better when you spot the cute doggos the café goers bring along with them as you coo over them.
Wildseed Café @ Alkaff Mansion is the ultimate inner-city nature retreat as you bask in its stunning garden and enjoy the nature it has to offer.
