    Amazing bookstore showcasing incredibly talented Singaporean authors as well as those from the SE Asia region. The topics and genres are really diverse and the staff are very helpful with providing recommendations based on what you're looking for. Love the quiet vibe plus the coffee is good and affordable! I will keep coming back again and again.

    One of my regular coffee place in CBD during lunch time.. here you enjoy the time purely with coffee and books. Nice place to escape the β€œreality” before heading back to office :)

    If you are a staff of URA, you can get a staff discount off their regular price of Coffee. Huggs coffee is very reasonable for the price, and there are air-conditioned seating available in store.

    Lovely place to get to know Singapore Literary Scene. Operated by a local publisher, collaborating with Huggs coffee. Entire wall of books by local authors, take your pick!

    Wonderful place with the good vibes by Books + Coffee.. Not only they serve the "ang mo" coffee, they also served coffee in local contact. Meaning, u get to drink a cup of Kopi C here too !! Short $2.00 Tall $2.40 Like the music playing in the background too... a nice place to chill with a cup of coffee and catch up with some readings.. Oh! There is also an Author in the house... Will definitely visit again if I am nearby.. πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌ

    Cafe in a bookshop or a bookshop in a cafe? Either way, Epigram Books specialises in local authors, and Huggs makes a good hot chocolate.

    Beautiful book shop with local selection of Singaporean and Asian writers and artists! Great coffee and view over nearby Park.

    Love this cafe - superb location, amazing collection of books to browse, cosy interiors, friendly staff, and great food and coffee. The prices are also down to earth, costs just $0.5 to have oat milk for my coffee unlike some places which charge $1-2 extra. The cafe is the perfect synergy between two good brands - Epigram, a local publisher and champion of local literature, and Huggs Coffee. My favourite spot is by the non-fiction section where coffeetable books on local heritage and history are literally just an arm's length away. I believe you can browse the books here and buy online.

😐 This is ecstatically the best looking amongst the PS Cafes. They have a good selection of food and beverages that some might consider pricey. But their cakes and deserts are very good. It’s a great place to chill in the afternoons and also good for sundowners after a long day. It’s always a pleas...
