Enjoy latte art, coffee kueh & coffee scent workshops at this S’pore caffeine getaway till Oct. 29, 2023

Do you spend your mornings hunched over a cup of coffee, praying that it gives you strength to pull through the day?

Or perhaps you mourn the loss of coffee when it’s finally time to put the cup down and get back to work.

If this sounds like you, you may need a coffee rendezvous.

From now till Oct. 29, a caffeine-loaded fest, “Pause at Citadines with Pokka”, is taking over six different Citadines properties across the island.

These cosy estates have been transformed into little pockets of caffeine havens, including a coffee art gallery and a coffee scent mixing lab.

Right on time for International Coffee Month too.

Here’s a closer look at what to expect on your coffee-themed staycay (heads up, we’re going to say the word “coffee” a lot).

Coffee art

There’s no better way to espresso your love for caffeine than savouring some coffee-made visual art.

Parts of Citadines lobbies have been transformed into temporary art museums, featuring masterpieces from coffee artist Vivian Lee, who skilfully magicks coffee stains into works of art.

Her wand? A paintbrush.

Lee’s commissioned pieces will be displayed at various Citadines properties for your perusal.

Chill corner

Of course, it’s not a real vacation unless there’s a latte time to retreat, relax, and think about absolutely nothing.

Which is exactly what you’ll get to do at these specially curated “pause corners” at selected Citadines properties:

There homey nooks come equipped with:

• STERRA massage chairs
• Selected POKKA products for consumption

Coffee-themed workshops

Once you’re recharged and ready to face the world again, you can also become a connoisseur of coffee by participating in a line-up of coffee-centred crash courses.

These workshops include hands-on tutorials, giving you a taste (and whiff) of what it’s like to be behind the scenes of caffeine-related F&B production.

Fancy yourself a bit of a scientist? Then the coffee scent mixology workshop by Vcube will be right up your alley.
