Ahmad + Co. Coffee and Cigars

Owner Asnawi Rahman knows a thing or two about design – this coffee and cigar bar is some of the prettiest among a slew of openings this year. With ideas and furniture from Wood & Steel, the café’s novelty factor is a private cigar room fitted with a TV for you to watch anything from the team’s selection of classic films. If you’re nice, they’ll even allow you to hook up your USB and put your feet up – a concept that promotes lingering long after you’ve finished your coffee. Food-wise, the menu is limited to simple pastas and deep-fried items, but within a hideout this comfortable, you don’t need much except a latte, a few friends and a ’90s sitcom rerun.
