Waga Waga Den

Location: 38 Beach Rd, #01-14 South Beach Tower, Singapore 189767

Perfect for fans of sleek and modern cafes, Waga Waga Den sets itself apart from the “usual” cafe look we see these days with its black design. This unique cafe stands out in South Beach Tower, with an option to dine alfresco. Both its interiors and menu are Japanese-inspired. Waga stands for wagyu beef and wagashi, which means Japanese sweets (they’re also available on the menu). Don’t forget to try their best-selling drink the Cloud, an iced white mocha sprinkled with a layer of cocoa. Air is trapped in the layer, creating the cloud-like appearance of the drink!
