Came here on a Thursday night for the monthly "Science Cafe" where a local scientist talks about interesting topics in their field of expertise. It seems they host lots of interesting, small events here. Anyway, arrived about 30 min before the talk. It was about 8, so I was in the mood for a drink. They have an interesting selection of beers and ciders (definitely no Tiger or Heineken!) and I opted for the caramel apple cider for S$12. It wasn't quite what I expected but yummy - tasted like cream soda. Definitely a cider for girls. My boyfriend was sleepy, so he ordered a cappuccino with chocolate milk - it was SO good! Made me wish I ordered that too Ambiance is cozy with little tables, couches, posters on the walls, lots of old books to browse, etc. Also saw people working on their laptops, so I guess there's free WiFi? Anyway, it's a interesting spot and I'll definitely be back.

I must confess that I am a hardcore regular of the Pigeonhole. But that aside, an objective introduction of this wonderful haven is necessary. Most importantly, what is so special about this place that makes me come back again and again?Truth be told, the first time I visited the Pigeonhole, I was being a typical Singaporean, totally appalled by the lack of uniformity in the furnitures. Where was I going to sit? There were tiny chairs and desk right out of the PAP kindergarten and a stone bench from somebody's garden! There were bean bags on the floor and luxurious L-lounge that beckons one to laze on it. But soon I realise, the unique thing about Pigeonhole is that you can do all that and more! You can be yourself. You can kick off your shoes, put your feet up and laze on the couch and read a book - whether your own or one strewn around all corners of the 2 unit shophouse ground floor. You can even bring your own work, like I do, to pound away furiously at the laptop with the multiple power points around the cafe. Did I fail to also mention that the toilets here are straight out of a spa? There is always no shortage of hospitable service from the staff and owners as well as the most eclectic mix of music played in the cafe. If you're in for some 'live' music, do check out their facebook page for the listing of events where they have indie and amateur bands playing gigs at the pigeonhole. They even have an open mic night so if you're looking for a place to display your vocals, here's the place for you. And that's just the ambience!I must admit that I'm not really a big coffee drinker which Pigeonhole does rather pride itself on. They serve only highland beans, for those who familiar with the variety. But if you're a drinker like me, Pigeonhole serves an amazing array of alcohol. Apart from the swiss beer on tap, they also have an amazing variety of ciders and ales. But for the whiskey connoisseurs amongst us, you may be interested to know that Pigeonhole serves a range of single-malt whiskey, including 12 years Yamazakis for a reasonable price.But please be warned: The Pigeonhole does not serve any food. So if you're coming here on an empty stomach during dinner time, the owners are more than happy for you to packet food from the nearby variety of eateries along tanjong pagar and duxton road to line your stomach before you hit the alcohol! Or coffee of course!Having said that, the best kept secret of Pigeonhole is really its chocolate bread and butter pudding. It is so delicious that it sells out very frequently. It is a definite MUST TRY here at the Pigeonhole. So if you're looking for a cozy comfortable hangout place with your friends or alone with a book, here is the place for you.

Last week's adventure led me to The Pigeonhole, a new book café along Duxton Road. The venue is also doubled up as a dynamic arts space which showcases local arts talents and to promote the enjoyment and appreciation of the arts. The kinda events you can look forward to include film screenings, arts exhibitions, recitals and more.Loved the colourful tiles used as coasters here.The dessert menu here was albeit limited, the cafe carries an impressing selection of wines and whisky. The atmosphere was exceptionally cozy thanks to the earthly-toned décor with many retro furniture pieces, topped with soothing music.
