So, what's the buzz about?

 Safari-themed cafe

This is possibly the first Safari-themed cafe in town. It was inspired by the bakery's founder Cynthia Chua's trip to Botswana.

The cafe rests within the greens near the Open Farm Community.

The bakery's exterior looks like a huge canvas tent and it seats 46.

The interior is filled with Safari-themed elements like dry weed-clad walls, rope-lined pillars, rustic furniture, butterfly taxidermy and tribal prints.

The Kilim carpets were brought in from the Middle East.

Exclusive menu

Besides the usual pastries and drinks, there is also an exclusive menu that includes caffeine-free lattes made from edible plants harvested from its own garden.

Expect to find interesting latte flavours like tumeric, blue pea and beetroot. 

Of course, you can pair the new add-ons with the usual classic croissants or Amann and share them with your friends.
