I asked my Facebook friends for Cafe recommendations. In no particular order:

1. Artistry (Jln Pinang) – now closed
2. Group Therapy (Duxton, Katong) FB
3. Two Men Bagel House
4. My Awesome Cafe – staff always smiling. 202 Telok Ayer Street, Singapore, 068639. IG
5. Royal Pratas & Curries at Killiney Road – their Teh Halia is great, they attract policemen and late night drinkers and a generally good cocktail of ethnicities, making it great for people watching too
6. Dapper Coffee
7. Wild market at Shaw towers, cos it’s affordable and not crowded at all
8. Operation Dagger. Drinks have great flavor profiles and service is brilliant!
9. ARC coffee – great cold brew and an outdoor smoking area. Also free wifi.
10. If in the east – Percolate in Bedok North. Staff is super friendly and has a good ambience. Gets a little crowded on weekends though
11. Nylon Coffee Roasters
12. vxx cooperative
13. Going Om, buskers and an all around chill vibe. Tight community of regulars. Homey.
14. Barber Shop By Timbre on friday/ saturday nights! good music and friends yay
