Although Tiong Bahru is one of the oldest residential estates in Singapore, it has creatively evolved into a unique neighbourhood that balances old school colonial heritage and swanky hipster lifestyle perfectly. The charming estate has become a natural magnet for trendy cafes, legendary bookstores, themed speciality retailers which in turn drew expats, tourists, hip professionals and tertiary students in droves. I presumed it is this odd conflicting mix of old school charm and chic tenant themes that makes Tiong Bahru so appealing. If you are thinking of spending a leisure afternoon to explore the cafes in the estate, we have just the list for you. Here is our list for Top Cafes In Tiong Bahru, some of the best places to chill out over the weekends in Central Singapore.
