When it comes to cafes, we’re spoilt for choice with so many great brunch spots all around Singapore. But if you’re up for something a little extra during your cafe dates and hangouts, there’s nothing like an immersive themed cafe to get everyone excited.
From an astrological cafe where you can get tarot card readings to vintage cafes that transport you back in time — these 15 themed cafes in Singapore will give your cafe experience an interesting twist!
Joji’s Diner
The glitzy neon-flooded 80’s aesthetic had exploded in recent years, blowing up with shows like Stranger Things and Riverdale. Now everyone wishes that they could hang out with the squad at Pop’s diners.
If that’s your vibe, then check out Joji’s Diner, a themed cafe at Serangoon that’s spruced up with eye-catching red-white booths, neon signboards, and an old school jukebox.
Of course, what’s an American diner without milkshakes? Sip on their salted caramel Goldilocks Milkshake (S$9.90) and grab some Chicken N Waffles (S$12.90) to complete the classic diner experience.

Cafe Kreams
How many K-Dramas have you watched where the protagonists have a romantic encounter amidst gorgeous amber-hued foliage? If you’re a K-Drama fan, you will fall in love with the fairy-tale vibes of Cafe Kreams at Tanjong Pagar.
The moment you step in you’d be greeted by a lush Autumn and nostalgic wooden furniture. Bring a date along and hopefully, some sparks will fly when you’re surrounded by the romantic ambience.
Even that doesn’t work out, you can console yourself with some of their eye-catching signatures such as the Dalgona Latte (S$8) and Yuzu Scones (S$5).

Cafe Monochrome
Fans of comics might have wondered what it feels like to live in a 2D world. If you’re curious, then check out Cafe Monochrome, a cafe that does away with all the colours and just uses black and white perspective lines, looking like it was plucked out of a comic book.
The 2D themed cafe’s most special offering is their signature Youtiao Ice Cream (S$6.50) which can be paired with one of their 12 gelato flavours.
Alterantively, get one of their mains like the Mentaiko Pasta (S$13) or the Smoked Duck Donburi (S$12), to add nice pop of colours to your monochrome photos.

Platform 1094
Kids who grew up with Harry Potter would have been disappointed when the Hogwarts letter never came. But all is not lost, muggles. You can still embark on the long awaited magical journey at Platform 1094.
You might almost mistake yourself getting apparated into Hogwarts, when you see yourself surrounded by the handsome brick walls and the four houses’ banners hung up high.
To make the experience sweeter, they also provide props like wands and robes for you to dress up. You can then proceed to show off your magical talent by setting arcane dishes like the alcoholic Goblet of Fire (S$15) aflame.

Handlebar
For those who envy the high octane bustle of American biker culture, you can’t miss out on Handlebar, Singapore’s only Biker Bar.
It’s like being transported to a small Southern town in America filled with rustic wooden decor and a crazy mob of motorbikes when you’re there at night. Rowdy and no-frills — just how it should be.
It’s more of a bar than a themed cafe, where you will find hearty American bites befitting of bikers such as their signature Cocaine Wings (S$14) and Margherita Pizza (S$10)

See the world upside down at USD Cafe, an upside down cafe that’s filled with topsy-turvy photo-ops for some really cool Instagram pictures. Look up, and you’ll see that there’s furniture and decor hanging upside down from the ceiling and walls — and even the washroom has a toilet stuck on the ceiling. But don’t worry, all the furniture that you’ll be sitting and dining on is the right way up.
The cafe specialises in Ipoh White Coffee, with many variations of the drink available on the menu. The Rosy White Coffee (S$7.50), in particular, is an eye-catching favourite with bright pink flower petals that give the coffee a floral note.

Most of us know of Tiong Bahru Bakery, but did you know that the popular chain has an African safari-themed outlet at Dempsey? Tucked away in a tent-like structure is a space with Kilim rugs, wooden beams, and even taxidermy butterflies on the wall.
The menu here is slightly different from their usual outlets, with exclusive drinks and breakfast jars that feature herbs grown in their connecting garden. But don’t worry, their selection of specialty French pastries are also available if you’re craving a croissant or a kouign-amann.
