One step inside this joint and you might find yourself asking if this is a cafe, an art gallery, a thrift store, or a whimsical secret garden. Well, why not all of the above? Designed and run by Chow and Makui, a creative duo in both life and business, Mum’s Not Home is a whimsical, bohemian-style cafe with a part of its space dedicated to a retro boutique. The shop boasts a unique curation of pieces to browse through, where you can rummage through vintage clothing, accessories, funky knick-knacks, or even old-fashioned furniture. Afterwards, reward yourself with more treats and sip on a range of floral teas, before digging into scrumptious homemade cakes.
