5 Cafes To Go To For Meetings/Discussions

If you are looking for a café where you can have a meeting while having lunch/tea concurrently, this suggestions guide will inform you on where are the most conducive destinations for meetings in our opinion.

Buck Tile St Café

Tucked away in the residential estate of Clementi, is Buck Tile St. Café. Buck Tile St. is actually an anagram for bucket list (hence St. rather than street), which means a place to visit before you kick the bucket.

They have 2 dining areas, ensuring that you will not be elbow to elbow with the next table. They provide free wifi as well and not forgetting the all important power sockets. If you are driving, there is free parking directly in front of the café with ample lots.

Try their signature Blue Velvet Cake ($6.90/slice). It has an airy, moist crumb and with just the right level of sweetness. The Bacon ’N’ Ham Croissant ($10.90) is a great choice for a light meal. Crispy croissant filled with good amount of bacon and ham. Do not forget to try their White Cherry Tea served either hot ($5.90 served in a pot) or iced ($6.90 served in a glass).
