The weekends are designed for languid brunches, bottomless cups of coffee and lavish desserts, which you can do at these seven best cafes in Clementi.
Much of the action is centred around Sunset Way, where you can find gelati and waffles from Burnt Cones and Hundred Acre Creamery. Buttercake N Cream offers hearty fare and cakes, and Sunset Railway Cafe serves nasi lemak and Singapore style coffee in a homely space. For artisanal brews, Olla Specialty Coffee has you covered.
