10 Places To Visit In Singapore’s Trendy Tiong Bahru Neighborhood

Named after the belief that it takes approximately forty hands to “make” a coffee (from planting to consumption), 40 Hands Coffee specializes in sustainable coffee. The café also offers a range of pastries, nibbles, and sweets, including the unique ‘scookie’, which is a cross between a scone and a cookie. For those looking for something substantial, 40 Hands also offers brunch from Fridays to Sundays. Boasting a happy and vibrant atmosphere, 40 Hands is a wonderful place to enjoy good coffee and equally good conversation.

Nana & Bird

Nana & Bird started as a pop-up concept, but evolved into a multi-label boutique that stocks fashion and lifestyle items, including jewelery, bags, art deco, and innumerable accessories. It is especially known for displaying items made with unusual and striking materials, like wooden rings and the collection of ‘tassel’ jewelery (by Jennifer Loiselle Margot), which is said to be inspired by ‘neon lights, tropical climates, and cowgirls’. With its wide-ranging paraphernalia of the wonderfully bizarre, Nana and Bird is the perfect place to find gifts for others, or yourself.

Two Face Pizza and Taproom

An eatery with a name that is evocative of the Roman God Janus, Two Face Pizza and Taproom is indeed meant to be as ‘two-faced’ as the god himself. A ‘kopitiam’ (a local term for a coffee shop) by day, it metamorphoses into a jazzy pizza place and bar at night. Two Face is characterized by having that fuss-free and chic vibe that is now very much synonymous with the entire Tiong Bahru area.
