Group Therapy in Singapore

Not sure how widespread group therapy is out here yet, but given that this version involves food and coffee.. it's probably quite popular!
 
We came here because we were looking for the nearby Broadway Cafe, which has closed down. But the friendly owner of the still-at-renovation-stage replacement recommended Group Therapy.
 
It was a nice surprise.

The interior is quirky/interesting, clientele are young locals, atmosphere quite relaxed (though we had rather a noisy group behind us!) There are two areas - the table area, then a more loungey area with sofas etc next door. Food not excessively cheap but pretty yummy. Between us, we had the Belgian waffle offers with fruits (recommended!) and syrup (which is on the All Day Breakfast menu). I also tried the Roasted Almond Latte which was sweet, nutty and very passable. They also serve alcohol.

To be honest, there are a few 'quirky' coffee shops opening up around Singapore, often in pretty, old, converted shop-house buildings. (These are sometimes called 'art cafes', I guess to distinguish them from Starbucks, Costa and the like). There is a little bit of samey-ness happening with the 'quirky', but they can also be a very pleasant way to spend a weekend afternoon. Especially if you don't want to be in a mall with cramped seating and 200 screaming kids!

Group Therapy is worth a drop-in if you're in the area. :)
