The Augmented at SS2 is a minimalistic cafe that will amplify your ideas. The interior is simple, bright, and its pretty spacious too. This cafe is equipped with a good amount of sockets to power your gadgets and reliable wifi to keep you connected.

Swamp with work and no time to hit the gym? At least there’s Aether Cafe that focuses on healthy food (no fried stuff and is vegetarian friendly) to help you eat clean while you smash some deadlines. What’s great about this place is the very welcoming home-like cozy-ness that makes you feel comfortable.

12. Palmier Patisserie Cafe
Formerly known as Encore Patisserie Cafe (they’re still using that as their FB name), it wouldn’t strike your mind to actually catch up with work there. It’s a pastry place, they serves tarts, sweets, desserts… Really? YES, the internet there is actually quite decent, the furnitures are comfortable for working long hours, and a little sugar to boost your mood doesn’t harm right? We’ve noticed more and more people are bringing their lappies here to work in the evening after dinner. Maybe “but first desserts” then continue work is a great idea after all.
