More than a decade ago, it seemed almost impossible to simply sip a cup of coffee and enjoy a good treat after a long day or week. However in the recent years, cafés are gradually blooming in the little red dot that we live in. Having troubles finding a good café near you? Here is a guide of 10 cafés to visit in Singapore to accommodate 10 different occasions.
1) Feeling lazy?
84 Bedok North Street 4, #01-25/27,
Singapore 460084
Hidden under high-rise housing buildings in the east, this café will perk you up with its refreshing ambience and food. Singaporeans are always taken in by good food and what’s more a reasonably-priced menu? If one cuisine is inadequate for you, To-Gather café provides you with a fusion of cuisines, causing you to be spoiled for choices!
2) Picture-perfect.
Blk 4 Changi Village Road, #01-2090,
Singapore 500004
Visiting a café is incomplete without a picture. Chock Full of Beans is known for its latte art and provides a wide variety of drinks to suit your individual preference. It is one of the few cafés in Singapore that does 3D-latte art. However, what’s a good meal without food? Daily combo-sets are also available for you to have a complete experience at Chock Full of Beans.

As the name suggest, this café is a coffee fanatic with experienced baristas to ensure that the coffee served has the right consistency and texture for all to enjoy.

4) Good food, better company.

6) Creamy. Sweet. Delightful.
Blk 128, Toa Payoh Lorong 1, #01-835

Waffles and ice cream is the main highlight of dessert after a meal. Think no further, a neighbourhood café – Creamier, is the ideal dessert place to go. Specialising in handcrafted ice cream, the burst of flavours: sweet, sour, salty leaves you longing for more. Other than ice cream, Creamier also specialises in coffee. Why settle for an ice cream scoop elsewhere when you can have the best of both worlds here?
7) Is chilling and hanging out your forte?
48 Arab Street,
Singapore 199745
The unique feature of this café is the placement of it under a hostel. It is dimly lit, creating a “chillax” ambience for a nice chat over any meal of the day with your friends. Having an array of gourmet burgers, pizzas and sandwiches, a small bite like this can satisfy you the entire day.
8) Going slow on dates.
30 Penhas Rd,
Singapore 208188

Tucked away in the outskirts of the bustling city, a meal at Coastal Settlement brings the coast to you.

10) Exploring the unknown.

Singapore 199206
This café serves dual purposes: a café in the day and a bar in the evening. Inspired by the Australian casual dining and French cuisine, this café takes you on a journey to discover the rich and flavourful fusion dishes of the cuisines. Furthermore, the café has a classic interior for all walks of life to enjoy a “symmetrical” experience in this serene part of Singapore. Once you step in, you wouldn’t want to step out!
