We stopped at a place called Brill for a morning bite and coffee drinks, just across the street from the Botantical Garden MRT station, in the Cluny Court building next to the da paolo Gastonomia (big sign) cafe, and were generally happy with our light meal and drinks at this small cafe.

We tried a blueberry yoghurt that wasn't great (rating 2.5 of 5) and a sticky bun that was pretty good (3.75 of 5). Coffee drinks were fine (rating 3 of 5). Outdoor seating was basic but pleasant, making this a decent and cost friendly place to stop before or after a visit to the Botanical Gardens.

With the good location, cute setting and decent morning food and drinks, we'd consider another stop here before/after future visits to the Singapore Botanical Gardens.
