Cafes In Kampong Glam

Cafes In Kampong Glam: Haji Lane was a hipster street that featured indie shops and dark alleys. At night, it was filled with a fruity smell. The newness slowly wore off, and Haji Lane began to lose its appeal.

However, the hype began to build again in the last 6 months. The new cafes popping up in the area are also known as Kampongglam. There is one cafe on almost every street.

This area has seen a lot of new cafes, including the popular I am… and La Marelle. The recently added Shop Wonderland makes it a great place to visit for cafe-hoppers. You may not have known that the area has 17 cafes.
