Given the neighbourhood’s easygoing charm, it’s no surprise that a wave of cafes has sprung up – many still flying under the radar. For a proper caffeine fix, Rolling Roasters delivers with its sprawling 3,200-square-metre space that’s part cafe, part roasting house. Expect speciality brews from espresso to siphon, served in an industrial-modern setting defined by three globe installations. Those seeking something calmer can retreat to Taling Cafe, a light-filled loft surrounded by greenery, where an iced latte pairs with homemade pastries crafted by a Le Cordon Bleu-trained chef.
As the day winds down, the caffeine gives way to cocktails. Prung Cafe stirs up drinks inspired by Thai tradition such as maiyarap, a mix of rosella juice, wildflower honey and white rum. If your evening leans more towards polished pours and smooth tunes, Caddict Space transforms into a sleek glasshouse by night, offering a mellow evening of wine and live music.
