9. The Augmented SS2

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. What we love most is the comfortable seats that saves us from splurging on orthopedic therapies. They’re close on Thursdays which is great because there’s a night market around that area which will cause some minor congestion.

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. The chairs are great for laying back but if you want to sit upright to work on your laptop, it might take a small toll on your back. Nevertheless, its a great spot for meeting with clients or for small group discussions.

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.

Spot on: Relatively quiet ambience,
