Our History

 

The Tanjong Pagar café has its original roots as a bridal photography shop in the late 2000s.  In late 2014, the concept was born to convert the business into a café while retaining the unique character of the 70 year old shophouse and its vintage history.  Many of our furniture has been meticulously restored or hand assembled using vintage materials.

 

The environment of the café aims to evoke memories of our childhood.  With a seating capacity for over 80 persons, we provide a relaxing and comfortable place where one can catch up with friends and family.

The Jalan Besar cafe is located in a conservation shophouse that is over 100 year old.  The shophouse has recently been painstakingly restored to its former glory.  We have incorporated some elements of the Tanjong Pagar outlet into the Jalan Besar outlet.  The current seating capacity of the Jalan Besar outlet is over 50 persons, in a cosy and comfortable environment.
