Design and Garden Cafes

Cafes worth riding to for the building or the greenery: flower-swallowed shophouses, a 101-year-old Chinatown coffee room, glass-house townhouses and tropical garden rooms. Here is a taste of the 9 places in this collection.

Wallflowers Café, Restaurant & Bar

You enter through a flower shop and then discover a multi-floor old building absolutely swallowed by flowers, plants, vintage furniture, old lamps and slightly chaotic decorations.

A KEEN HOUSE

A former three-storey townhouse redesigned as a cafe while keeping the old structure, with a glass-house section inserted into the building. Nordic minimalism meets Japanese wabi-sabi.

Arteasia Desserts & Cafe

Inside an old Song Wat shophouse: heritage architecture, stained glass, vintage furniture and Thai-inspired desserts.

Ek Teng Phu Ki

A 101-year-old Chinese-Thai coffee shop. Four generations in, the family redesigned it while preserving the character: jade-green tiles, marble tables, old-school Chinatown atmosphere.

MTCH - Ari

Inside a mid-century government house. Rather than demolishing the character, the designers kept elements of the original residence, including a strange ladder staircase, and turned it into a modern matcha space.
