Wheeler's Yard
Wheeler's Yard
It’s hard to argue at this point. The Wheeler’s Yard in Toa Payoh is
one of the hippest cafes you’ll ever find in Singapore to date. Where can you
find an authentic bicycle atelier slash warehouse slash coolest place on the
block? Only along the industrial park off Balestiar Road, where you’ll also
find the most chill of locals, couples, and expats enjoying the good coffee
selections and all-day breakfasts in Wheeler's Yard. It’s a good café-cycling experience
just being here and you wouldn’t want to leave this un-ticked in your coffee
shop checklist.
Though the nearest MRT station is the Toa
Payoh Red line, you’ll need at least fifteen minutes of searching thru the
HDBs and street signs along the area. It’s a relatively hard find, considering
everything looks industrial and warehouse like around the vicinity. The metallic
blue garage gate and sole bicycle on top of the roof are what you need to look
out for to know that you’ve reached this place. The best time to go here are
during late afternoons to evenings, when the place is packed with all the cool
people you’ll like to give small talks with.
You would like to believe that this place is
packed with cycling enthusiasts and coffee addicts as well, because everyone
stays for so long. That’s how much the place is enjoyed. The environment exudes
comfort and inspired looks from people. Though the bicycles and other cycling
gadgets are copious, the amount of chats and laughter from the crowd – be it
soloists, couples, expats, Saturday groupies, yuppies, and locals –
are more relevant. Good thing the coffee was really good and the space was
really huge.
If you’re looking for a city hangout hideout that are only for the coolest, but are still open to everyone else, better cycle your way to the Wheeler’s Yard. The coffee-cycle shop is massive enough to accommodate everyone’s appetites and expectations. The place is recommended for chill, dates, big gatherings, vintage type casual encounters.
