Wheeler’s Yard, it was a cafe that appeared frequently in many’s instagram feeds in 2013, with many visitors taking “OOTD’s” (Outfit of the day) at its iconic blue door. Mr Tommy Ong, a bicycle enthusiast, established Wheeler’s Yard in 2013, making it the first bicycle shop and cafe in Singapore. Its reputation as a “hipster hangout” grew extensively as it became renowned for its floor to ceiling blue door which many would undeniably name as Singapore’s most instagrammed spot. 

Once I entered the spacious indoor section of the cafe, I was struck by its cosy and calm ambience. The soft yellow lighting, high ceilings and the aromatic fragrance of freshly brewed coffee put me at ease, and all my troubles seemed to melt away.

I ordered the truffle fries, which most patrons raved about online, hence I had to see for myself how good they were. As the friendly waiter served me my plate of fries, I knew that I was going to be in for a treat. The savoury aroma of the fries wafted into my nostrils as I picked up one of the golden-coloured fries. The truffle flakes and salt on the fry melted in my mouth as I munched on it. There seemed to be an explosion of flavour in my mouth as I chewed on. It was undeniably as good as, or even better than the reviews made it seem.

I also ordered the hot chocolate as well to wash down the savoury fries. It was served with a side of biscuits which went well with the richness of the chocolate. It felt warm yet comforting to drink it and together with the cosy ambience, it will definitely make you want to drink more. 

The top notch quality of food and the cosy ambience of the cafe made it an extremely satisfying experience.
