@albert shared his secret escapade with The Awesome Cafe. The cafe not only serves sandwiches, but alcohol too for those who want a break from office drama.
"Been here a couple of times and the conclusion? Nice spot to hang out! It was pretty crowded so do make reservations if you need! The interior was amazing and the service 10/10, asked us for feedback and everything." Well, thanks for the tip, @albert, but leaving us in suspense is just cruel! @lilith didn't hold back, stating, "never tell us the name of the place." Phew, saved by the valiant @monklun2003, who swooped in just in time, exclaiming, "Walao Albert, never include place, everyone it's The Awesome Cafe at Telok Ayer Street!" Crisis averted, we can finally explore this hidden haven! While the food seems to decently satisfying, the unique interior and the amazing service definitely served.
Coffee Heaven: Brawn & Brains Coach Cafe - A mix of luxury and simplicity

Next up, we have @kermit, a typical caffeine enthusiast working in the CBD. She made her way down to the Brawn & Brains Coach Cafe and raved all about it, “Coffee is good ofc cause it’s from brawns & brains - the coffee selection is small but good. Didn’t get to try the food but it sounds good, the doughnuts too 😭🤤 had some small talk w the barista and she said it’s a permanent thing!! So no rush to visit!"
Ah, @kermit, a true coffee aficionado leaving us drooling over those mystery doughnuts. We can't resist a good brew, so we're definitely hopping on this caffeinated bandwagon! If splurging on a Coach bag hurts your wallet too much, perhaps going in for a latte or doughnut would suffice for now…
