Just a short walk away from Chinatown and Hong Lim Food Centre, Grids and Circles is a tranquil oasis right in the heart of the bustling CBD. The three-storey lifestyle cafe and workshop space is housed in a charming, modernised shophouse. The cafe inhabits the first floor while the upper floors feature a lifestyle store and private space dedicated to workshops, corporate events and lifestyle classes. The interiors across all three floors feature granite floors, white-washed walls, soft lights and wooden furniture to create a serene haven away from the stresses of the city.

Coffee is a definite must and we just can’t have enough of the mouthwatering Western-Japanese fusion fare served up here. Varied, refreshing, and elevated, dishes here are executed with a touch of artistic flair that goes beyond your usual cafe grub. Take the Tamago Sando for instance, where fluffy Tamago-style eggs, paired with a konbu-infused mayo and pear sauce, are tucked snugly between toasted bread; or the Mondanyaki Beef Angus Slider, an intriguing cross between a burger and okonomiyaki that will have you coming back for more. For an instant pick-me-up on a rainy day, the Salmon Ochazuke does a perfect job; featuring a perfectly poached salmon slab atop some plump Kinmemai brown rice, salted plums, nori, and chopped shiso. A clear bacon dashi green tea stock comes on the side, to be poured across over the dish for a wholesome, healthy, and satisfying meal. Prefer something sweet instead? The Strawberry Wonderland, featuring a stack of fluffy pancakes and sprinkles of mint and basil will satisfy any sweet-toothed cravings.
