Birds of Paradise Breakfast Menu
There is no official birds of paradise breakfast menu. Birds of Paradise is a gelato boutique, and most outlets open at noon, so a breakfast visit here means something different from a normal cafe breakfast. Start with the Birds of Paradise menu to see the full gelato range, then use this guide to plan the earliest visit that works: the Mandai sandwich bar in the morning, or a first scoop at noon at the other boutiques.
Is there a Birds of Paradise breakfast menu?
No, and that is worth saying plainly before you plan a trip. The brand has never published a breakfast menu, and its boutiques are dessert shops, not morning cafes. Most outlets open at noon and close at 10pm, with some closing at 10.30pm on Fridays and Saturdays. Listings disagree on a few details, with some showing Katong closed on Mondays, so check the outlet you plan to visit before you travel. The two early exceptions are Mandai Wildlife West, which opens at 9am with its sandwich bar, and VivoCity, where listings show a 10am opening. If breakfast is the plan, those are your only real morning options.
| Morning option | What you get | When |
|---|---|---|
| Mandai sandwich bar | Toasties and rye sourdough sandwiches alongside gelato | From 9am, Mandai Wildlife West only |
| VivoCity boutique | Full gelato menu from the morning | Listings show 10am opening |
| All other boutiques | Full gelato menu from opening | Noon opening, most outlets |
| First scoop at noon | Any flavour on the board, in a cup or thyme cone | Light flavours suit a first scoop best |
The Mandai Morning Option
Mandai is the one outlet built for a morning visit. Its Gelato Boutique and Sandwich Bar concept pairs the gelato with comfort food sandwiches on rye sourdough, with fresh herbs, slow roasted tomatoes, and similar fillings, and a guide singled out the Egg Mayo Toastie and Double Cheese Toastie as the family friendly picks. Sandwich prices are not published online, so treat them as varies by outlet and check the board at Mandai. Pair a toastie with a small scoop after, and you have the closest thing to a Birds of Paradise breakfast that exists.
What can you order in the morning at Birds of Paradise?
At Mandai, order a toastie first and a scoop second. Everywhere else, your morning order is simply the first scoop of the day, and light flavours work best before lunch. White Chrysanthemum is the signature pick and it tastes floral and gentle, which suits an early palate. Strawberry Basil is bright without being heavy, and Lychee Raspberry is sharp and refreshing. If dairy is a concern, Mango Sorbet, Coconut Sorbet, and Dark Chocolate Sorbet sit on the same menu and stay light. Ask for a taste before you commit, since the board changes by outlet and season, and a taste costs you nothing but a minute in the queue.
What does a morning visit cost?
There are no breakfast prices to quote, because there is no breakfast menu, so the honest figures are the reported gelato prices from the main menu. Older guides quote a single scoop at S$4.70 and a double at S$7.70, with a thyme cone at S$1 and pints at S$16. A more recent guide puts a single scoop at around S$6.50, and visitor posts quote S$5 for a cup and S$6 for a cone. Treat every figure below as reported and unverified, and budget above the older numbers. Sandwich prices at Mandai are not published, so this guide lists them as varies by outlet rather than guessing a number.
| Item | Reported price | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Single scoop | S$4.70 to S$6.50 | Reported, guides disagree by date |
| Double scoop | S$7.70 | Reported, older guides |
| Thyme infused cone | S$1 | Reported extra over a cup |
| Takeaway pint | S$16 | Reported, older guides |
| Mandai toastie or sandwich | Varies by outlet | No published price found |
