Romantic Cafes In Singapore

Like most Singaporeans, I look forward to the weekends mainly for two reasons ‒ 1) I get to sleep in, and 2) treat myself to brunch at romantic cafes with my boyfriend. 

If you’re looking for new brunch spots to explore and kickstart your morning, or afternoon, below is a list of cafes that you’ll want to KIV. 

1. Surrey Hills Grocer – The Woodleigh Mall
