There’s no doubt that Singapore is a nation of cafe enthusiasts. Whenever a new cafe opens its doors, it’s almost a given that you will find curious Singaporeans queuing up to try its offerings for themselves, be it a freshly brewed cup of coffee or trending matcha lattes. Of course, whether a cafe continues to draw the crowds long after its opening depends on multiple factors: the food and drinks; the interiors, and the overall vibe. Keep reading to find out more about some of the coolest cafes in Singapore that are worthy of a square on your Instagram feed.

Its current offering, the Shrimply Irresistible Set—a limited-time menu for Singapore’s 60th birthday that’s available from 1 August till 30 September—is a cheeky, seafood-forward homage to local flavours.
