Kómma Social Cafe: New Cafe With DIY Craft Kits And Workshops At Paya Lebar Quarter Mall

Straying away from these big name names is a new local joint, kómma Social Cafe . This recently minted cafe just threw open its doors its doors over the weekend at PLQ Mall offering coffee and pastries from Huggs Coffee.

Plus, you can join in on their monthly creative workshops or check out the selection of crafting activities and curated artisanal goods by homegrown brands. Baked in-house, their fluffy waffles can be paired with sweet or savoury toppings. The batter paired well with the accompanying roasted banana slices and Nutella spread, which added notes of hazelnut.

Another sweet waffle pairing is their Kaya and Dulche . As an avid fan of Ya Kun, I loved this duo of kaya and butter, especially with the buttery notes from the waffle. Dollops of kaya and malted caramel complement the fluffy, toasty waffle that is topped with a slab of butter.

Dipping the waffle in this sauce gave additional taste to the kaya spread. This sweet sauce not only helped to cut through the briny minced meat, but as well lent the rich waffles an earthy taste.

The flaky croissant is filled with an almond paste with a strong nutty aftertaste, reminiscent of Chinese almond cream. In line with their efforts to support local, kómma Social Cafe has partnered with Huggs Coffee to offer unique coffee blends. This milky coffee is served in a Huskee cup, which is made from coffee husk.

Once you’re done Instagramming this cup of tea, mix in the foam to enjoy all of its creaminess. Once you’re satisfied with your handiwork, you can grab a bite and a cuppa joe as a reward. Don’t worry if you missed out on their monthly workshops, as there is a corner stocked with DIY craft kits for you to try your hand at being artsy.

There’s as well an option to shop from their range of ready-made items such as iron-on patches and accessories by local makers. Visit kómma Social Cafe Cafe hopping can be rather boring at times as you’re either snapping the cute aesthetics or IG-worthy food.

The new kómma Social Cafe adds a refreshing mix to the cafe scene in Singapore by providing an interactive element to its dining experience. The next time you’re searching for something to shake things up, head here to get crafty as you munch on some pastries. This post is brought to you by kómma Social Cafe.
