My First Vegan Cafe Adventure

I recently found myself exploring something I don’t usually think much about: vegan cafes.

Chloe Chang and I decided to visit a few together, and I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I’ve always enjoyed discovering cafes for their atmosphere, coffee and food, but I haven’t specifically sought out vegan places before.

What surprised me was how normal the experience felt.

There was good food, interesting drinks, cosy spaces and plenty to enjoy even without the usual ingredients I would expect to find on a cafe menu.

Chloe, of course, approached it differently. She was already thinking about what made each place worth recommending, while I was mostly thinking, Would I actually come back here?

That’s one of the reasons I enjoy exploring cafes with her. We notice different things.

This experience also made me curious about Singapore’s vegan cafe scene, from plant-based meals to desserts and drinks. I’ve started exploring more of them, and you can get a head start with our guide to the best vegan cafes in Singapore.

And this is only the beginning.

Keep an eye out for my upcoming vegan cafe reviews. Chloe and I clearly have more places to explore.
