Located in the Central Region of Singapore, Toa Payoh is evidently one of the oldest regions in the country and is fondly remembered for its iconic dragon-shaped playgrounds. In the recent years, cafe entrepreneurs have started to take notice of the estate and introduced the cafe culture there, making it a perfect afternoon escapade for many.
More often than not, cafe hoppers are greeted with a peaceful and quaint environment that will never remind them of the stressful life in a city. Most of these cafes are situated near to one another, making it irresistible to conquer them all while you are at Toa Payoh – like a day trip in Toa Payoh, yes?
So, we did some rounding up, and here are the Cafes To Visit In Toa Payoh while you are in the area!
#1 CREAMIER
Creamier needs no introduction. Known for their premium ice cream flavours such as Thai Milk Tea and Earl Grey Lavender, this ice cream parlour has been ranked as one of the top ice cream parlours to try in Singapore. Their signature Belgian Waffles are evidently a crowd’s favourite too! This would be a great place for some summery treats on a hot afternoon, or for supper with your pals.

#2 FROZEN BY A THOUSAND BLESSINGS
We were captivated by the interior decor of this ‘froyo’ parlour’ – think sleek wooden furnishings and a myriad of toppings on display. Priced at S$3.80 per 100 grams, build your own frozen yogurt! Choose from froyo flavours such as Pomegranate, Coconut, Green Tea, Chocolate, Mango & Soy and Natural. And of course, you have to dress your froyo with your favourite toppings.

#3 FIX CAFE
Alhough FIX Cafe is not very accessible, it is an increasingly popular cafe loved for their halal-certified homemade fares. With nothing above S$10, treat yourself to a menu of naanwiches, cakes, doughnuts with salted egg dip while lounging by the poolside in this alfresco dining cafe.

#3 Frozen is near by Creamier, so is #6 NICHE BOULANGERIE and #10 The Daily Press. The nearer MRT Station would be Braddell.
#7 Shrove Tuesdays is also nearer to Braddell. Just a different exit. If you are planning to go to Shrove, you may wanna pop by Tim’s for a western lunch or dinner first.
Would like to point out that Braddell MRT station is much nearer to the cafes at Toa Payoh Lor 1 – namely Creamier.
Have you tried FIX cafe? I knew this cafe offers Halal food, but i dunno is it good.
