I frequent this cafe on a regular basis because it is quite near my house. The cafe has bare bones decor but still quite cosy. I like their waffles with Baskin Robbins ice cream. Needless to say, their coffees are great.

Don’t miss Heh Cafe after visiting Kek Lok Si Temple. Nice cool place to relax after visiting the Temple on a hot and humid day.

Cafe with instagrammable menu items that are truly delicious. Loved the Wildest Dream which is a concoction of butterfly pea flower with lychee and lime, a really refreshing drink. The curly fries, rainbow cake and affogato were also recommended!

Nice spot to chill! After a walk up and down the hill or waiting near the hospital. Good coffee (very important) & polite staff, good food, not too expensive for a tourist area, quaint decor and relaxing music. A good place away from the hot sun or rain!

Great little cafe which is in the perfect spot to chill out after exploring the temple. The cafe is very cosy inside and has AC to cool down. They serve fantastic coffee and delicious waffles. I had the iced latte and strawberry sundae waffle. They also had a selection of cakes which looked amazing. Would highly recommend popping in if you're in the area
