There is nothing like the smell of a new cafe to quickly and swiftly take over your Instagram feed. Newly-minted Sweetea Caffe in the heart of Chinatown is one made for the ‘gram. A 5-minute walk from Chinatown MRT with free-wifi, this is a spot for quiet afternoons and working remotely.

Located on the third floor of a quaint shophouse, Sweetea Caffe boasts a balcony with a view of the iconic People’s Park Building surrounded by tourist-friendly heritage buildings—perfect for socially distanced people watching.

It’s not a tai tai spot without the quintessential high-tea of tiny cakes and sandwiches. Here at Sweetea Caffe, their High Tea Set is going at S$38.80 that comes with a slice of cake, pie, three muffins, luncheon meat fries, and tea. Sunday afternoons with such a delectable selection of nibbles sounds like a good respite from the craziness of the world.

We hear good things about their Ondeh Ondeh Cake so that’s something you can try.

If you want to snag a good shot for the ‘gram, you can DM the good people of the cafe here to reserve a spot on the balcony. Don’t let those good hair days go to waste.
