Cups N Canvas

Cups N Canvas is a cafe-***-studio located along Selegie Road, just a few blocks down Wilkie Edge. This cafe is housed within an art-deco shop house and emphasizes on the harmony of art and coffee. A fun, vibrant and homely environment, a great place to chill for catching up with friends, for work and even for exercising your creativity.

I was attracted to this cafe by the beautiful and vibrant artwork. This cafe is located in the hearts of Bras Besah, surrounded by our local art schools like SOTA, NAFA and Lasalle. A popular hangout place for students to spark their creative minds. The cafe aims to bring the creative and fun-loving side of people who may be mechanized by our hectic and mundane city life.

Basically, this cafe can be separated into 2 sections. During the day, both sections are connected to accomodate more customers. When evening comes, the 'Right' section is separated by a sliding door where they conduct art classes.

Their service staffs are also very well-mannered and friendly, especially the in-charge who was very outgoing and helpful in addressing our needs and queries! Remember to check out their "Special Combos". They have their 'All Day Pasta and Drink' combo at only $12.90 as well as a 'Afternoon Cake and Drink' combo at $9.90. Value for money!

I went for the cake and drink combo at $9.90 and tried their signature carrot cake together with a cup of sweet potato latte (so interesting). Honestly, I didn't enjoy the carrot cake. It was a little too starchy. I had to drink lots of water to go along in order to finish the cake.

On the other hand, I was quite amused by the sweet potato latte. Initially, I expected it to be orange in colour, but it actually turned our purple! I'm guessing that they used Japanese purple sweet potatoes. It was very rich and creamy with the gentle sweetness of the sweet potato. The taste isn't too overwhelming and I recommend that you give it a try!

Their Earl Grey Cheesecake is pretty smooth and rich. It may taste a little heavy but it's so easy to swallow, leaves you longing for just one more bite.

In my opinion, this place is quite spacious and it's ideal for catching up with friends and loved ones to while your afternoon away. The quiet but vibrant environment will certainly help you to develop new ideas for your work or projects. Food and drinks are delicious and affordable. It'll certainly keep me coming back!
