I know what you’re thinking – another cafe in another cafe-overrun neighbourhood with specialty menus for lunch and dinner with the same island living-inspired decor. But, hear me out on this one!
Frankie & Fern’s is the new kid on the block – more specifically, Holland Avenue in Holland Village, that launched a little over a month back, and is already drawing non-stop queues to its “hidden” rooftop premises.
Orchard Central has become something of a haven for cafe hoppers, with several specialty coffee places popping up nearby to each other. The latest name to set up shop in this part of Somerset is Equate Coffee, a local cafe that made waves for house-blend coffee served in a minimalist industrial setting.
I love cafes that step outside their comfort zone and try new things in the kitchen. Apollo Coffee Bar has become one of my favourite places to cafe hop for their ever-changing menu of classic and Asian-inspired foods.
Fancy a cuppa that combines the energy of a traditional Americano coffee with the tanginess
of a fresh orange? You’re in luck – literally, with luckin coffee’s new flavour, the Orange
Americano ($7)!
Update 19 Jan 2025: Nico Cafe has closed.
Orchard Road may be bustling with retail experiences and activities galore, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t offer one or two spots for a brief respite. One of these is Nico Cafe, a floral-themed, Parisian-inspired cafe that offers a mix of decorative drinks and brunchtime bites.
Located directly outside Marks & Spencer at Wheelock Place, it’s also great for people-watching with its unobstructed views of one of the area’s quieter roads.
Christmas season is here and it’s time to indulge in your favourite festive beverages from
luckin coffee!
Exclusive to this festive season is Luck in Christmas, a curation of time-limited brews,
along with discounts and giveaways throughout December.
Update 19 Jan 2025: Bing Tang Tang Shui has closed.
Fancied visiting your parents’ office when you were a child? Here’s one office you’ll be glad to visit over and over, whether you’re an adolescent or a working adult.
Bing Tang Tang Shui 冰糖糖水办公室 – which stands for Rock Sugar Office in Chinese, is a fully-themed cafe that styles itself as an office from the 80s, from its traditional desserts, all-out decor, and even a neat little backstory of fictional characters.
The story goes that Boss Kok Wah, the head of a sugar distribution company, dreamt up a dessert haven using his company’s products. The rest is history.
