Similar to Phuket's Baan Teelanka and Kuala Lumpur's Upside Down House, Singapore now has its very own upside down establishment in the form of a cafe.

Specialising in Malaysia Ipoh white coffee, USD (which stands for Upside Down, obviously) Cafe is located in Katong.

The cafe serves coffee, fruit juices, and a small selection of snacks and brunch items.

Prices start from S$3.50 for a flossy muffin to S$15.50 for a Smoked Salmon Toast.

Inverted interiors

You'd notice that the door and window are oriented upside down, which should clue you in on what to expect inside.

Upon entering, the first photo op is right in front of the counter.

Stay grounded (with coffee)

After you've gone giddy from taking pictures to your heart's content, grab a seat for a break.

Coffee lovers, especially those who appreciate Ipoh white coffee, might want to try a hot Original White Coffee (S$5).
