The Most Aesthetic Cafés To Spend Your $300 CDC Vouchers 2026 In Singapore
Still looking for coffee spots and cafés to spend your CDC vouchers on? Here are our picks.
By Lucy Lauron,
We know what you’re thinking: deciding where and what to spend your CDC vouchers on. For Singapore’s 60th, Singapore citizens received up to $600 worth of vouchers, which expired in 2025. This year, a new set of $300 CDC vouchers for January 2026 will be available for claim from 2 January 2026, and expiring on 31 December 2026. If you’ve still got CDC vouchers to spend, are obsessed with hunting for the best matcha lattes in Singapore, and have a social media account that’s dying to be updated, we’ve got you. Here are our top picks of perfectly picturesque cafes for government-sponsored matcha and coffee, and why they deserve a cute post.
1. Rise Bakehouse
For dessert lovers in their soft girl era.
What they’re about: If you love pastels as much as you enjoy strawberry matcha and sweet treats, Rise Bakehouse should be on your radar. It’s a beautifully cosy and girly space filled with pastel pinks and medium oak wood, with Instagram-worthy drinks and bites to match. From its TikTok-viral strawberry matcha cloud latte ($9), its fan-favourite tiramisu cream latte ($8.50), and its delectable teacakes (from $8), you’ll be eating with your eyes and tongue. That said, only its Potong Pasir outlet accepts CDC vouchers.
Where: #01-53, 48 Potong Pasir Ave 1
2. Elijah Pies
Your cottage core dreams with a modern twist.
What they’re about: If an artistically crafted dessert is just as important as a beautiful space, Elijah Pies is the cafe for you. Since 2021, Elijah Pies has made a name for itself in Singapore’s desserts scene with its expertly baked and beautifully assembled pies. At Tanjong Pagar Plaza, its cafe space is like a modern cosy cottage full of its famous pies and a roster of drinks to complement them; from its fan-favourite Nutella Pie ($7.90) to its Taro Coconut Cloud drink ($8.50), it’s a spot that’s guaranteed to hit the sweet spot.
Where: #01-102, 7 Tanjong Pagar Plaza
3. Late Morning
Beautiful tableware, thoughtful design, and coffee and matcha? Say no more.
What they’re about: If you’re a design fiend who appreciates coffee just as much as thoughtful design, Late Morning should be on your list. Located in Chinatown, this concept store’s bread and butter is beautifully crafted table and homewares (founder, Belinda Chen’s passion). Drinks-wise, its coffee bar serves up a strong cuppa; iced coconut Americanos ($7), black coffees ($6), and matcha lattes ($7). The space is warm and tranquil with cream walls and wood furnishings, truly capturing the vibe of a late morning.
Where: 230 South Bridge Road
4. Cafe Wabi Sabi
Japanese-inspired menu and a cosy yet trendy corner at Everton Park.
What they’re about: With exposed concrete and dark wooden furniture, it’s the perfect setting for café lovers who enjoy a little stylish edge with their coffee. Its name, Wabi Sabi, is a callback to the Japanese concept of finding the beauty in imperfection. Fun fact: most of the café decor was DIY-ed. Its founder, who goes by Jeanie, says, “We take pride in creating and DIY-ing every aspect, always experimenting and pushing boundaries.” From its iced strawberry matcha ($8.50) to tiramisu ($9.90), its menu is just as satisfying as it is photogenic. While the café recently opened another outlet in Joo Chiat, only its first outlet at Everton Park accepts CDC vouchers.
Where: 3 Everton Park, #01-79
5. Pacto by Parchmen (Lavender)
Quality coffee and vibes by homegrown coffee collective.
What they’re about: For the proud coffee snobs, this coffee spot might be your cup of tea (or coffee). Founded by a coffee veteran, Pacto by Parchmen prides itself on its dedication to high-quality, direct-sourced coffee and tea. Basically, you’re getting ethically-sourced and high-quality coffee and tea, with the added bonus of a gorgeous and modern space. Think light wood, high ceilings, and plenty of natural light — complete with its recognisable illustration of an adorable menagerie. While Pacto and the Parchmen franchise have several outlets throughout Singapore, only Pacto’s Jalan Besar outlet accepts CDC vouchers.
Where: 69 Jellicoe Road, #01-05
6. Quah Song & Co
What elevates amazing coffee to phenomenal? Quality bakes.
What they’re about: If you’re looking for a cafe with a homelier vibe, Quah Song is for you. Opened in April 2024, Quah Song’s three founders were looking for a change in pace after running a coffee-by-day-bar-by-night concept for 9 years. “The pace here (at Everton Park) is very slow,” says co-founder 50-year-old Knik Pang, “It’s not very accessible, and you get to smell the flowers and talk to the people. That is exactly what we needed at the point of our life: to slow down.”
The space is cosy in the way a friend’s house would be: it’s filled with little knick-knacks, a record player, and other memorabilia that’s been accumulated by both Quah Song’s founders and customers have given them for over a decade. Pair its espresso ($4.50) with a butter croissant ($4.50) or lemon loaf ($5) — they bake 100 pieces fresh, daily and in small batches.
Where: 2 Everton Park, #01-61
7. Kurasu
The cult-favourite Japan-based coffee franchise.
What they’re about: Kurasu is for coffee connoisseurs who take their beans seriously. As coffee aficionados might know, Kurasu is known for using traditional Japanese brewing techniques and its commitment to high-quality, single-origin coffee. And it sure delivers. With numerous outlets around Singapore, only its Waterloo outlet accepts CDC vouchers. Like its other outlets, its space in Waterloo maintains the franchise’s clean, minimalist aesthetic.
Where: 261 Waterloo Street, #01-24
