There aren\u2019t a dearth of cafes near Lavender if you know where to look. Past the smatterings of commercial buildings, low shophouses and a Padang — or the Jalan Besar stadium, you\u2019ll discover coffee houses, patisseries and cute dinner joints just a short distance from the MRT. Explore this sleepy town with an empty tummy during your next free weekend!<\/p>\n

1. The Refinery<\/h2>\n

With sky-high ceilings and hanging curved hooks, you\u2019ll be immediately drawn to the warehouse-like interior of The Refinery. This three-storey interior promises three different experiences; a yakitori restaurant, a bespoke bar and a creative working space.<\/p>\n

The salmon tokubetsu don, tsukune balls of love yakitori and chicken nanban we had were great. The salmon was fresh, the yakitori had a smokey hint thanks to the tare sauce while the Japanese tartar sauce in the chicken nanban blew us away with the citrusy taste. Couple the perfect ambience with pocket-friendly prices and this is one of the best cafes near Lavender MRT to head to.<\/p>\n
