The Living Café
A Bukit Timah wellness café serving raw and plant-based dishes, fresh juices, smoothies and raw desserts since 2011.
The Living Café is Singapore’s clean-eating instinct with the scolding removed. It is wholesome, yes, but the useful kind: colourful plates, raw desserts, smoothies and enough flavour to keep virtue from becoming a chore.
It is a healthy and raw-food café at the forefront of vegan cuisine in Singapore, with raw chocolate cheesecake as the dish to remember. The Living Café sits in Bukit Timah beside Sixth Avenue MRT and dates back to 2011. The café serves plant-based dishes, raw food, raw desserts, healthy burgers and pizzas, juices, smoothies and homemade cakes, while avoiding cow dairy, red meat, refined sugars, preservatives and vegetable oils. It also caters for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free, gluten-free and nut-free diets.
The setting is part café, part wellness ecosystem, with a shop and Balanced Living clinic above. That could tip earnest; happily, the food keeps things grounded.
Go to The Living Café when Singapore’s dining calendar needs a lighter interlude. Order something raw, something green and, yes, dessert. Better, kinder luxury occasionally arrives as cheesecake that knows its way around cacao.
