Update 19 Jan 2025: The cafe segment of 51 Tras has closed.
Aesthetic, minimalist cafes are having their moment, and I’m here for it.

Making it somewhat of a godsend for hipster cafe-hoppers who can never decide which new space to check off their ever-growing list.
With the pandemic putting quite a damper on Singapore’s F&B scene over the past couple of years, it’s refreshing to encounter new spaces opening again, especially experiential concepts that combine eating and drinking with other lifestyle and entertainment options.
Tucked away on the third level of Orchardgateway in Somerset, 82SOHO has set itself up as the place for gatherings, be it for hardcore video gamers or friends looking for a relaxed session of board games.
