Cafes That Are Perfect For Your First Date With Bae

The information in this post might be outdated

A sprinkle of fondness, a dash of laughter, and butterflies in your stomach - I think this perfectly describes a first date. And the best way to get a leg-up with your date is to obviously find the perfect spot (after dressing up right and arriving on time, of course). If you're feeling overwhelmed having to worry about those two things, let us take care of the venue. Here's a list of the best cafes to go to on your first date to make it memorable. Read on. You can thank us later. 

Disclaimer: Maintain social distancing and wear a mask always. Don't forget to ring up the place to know about the timings given the current Covid-19 protocols. 

Chamiers Cafe

Dreamy lights, vintage photographs, and a history to tell, Chamiers Cafe will make your date feel like they don’t want to go back home. Get a table by the window on a Friday night and enjoy pasta or salad under the canopy of the chandeliers. There’s a seating area outside where you can get some privacy, too, and bring your pet along (what a cute date!). If it rains and the soundtrack of Midnight In Paris comes on, you’re sure to fall in love!

Wild Garden Cafe, Amethyst

With black and white square floors and free space around, this cafe feels like walking into a huge chessboard. But, if you go to this cafe, make sure you sit outside along the paths paved with grass, flowers, and trees. The subtle lamps and ivy creeping up the chairs will make you feel like it’s just you and your date in the middle of a tiny forest. You can eat sandwiches, pasta, and more here. The food’s a bit pricy, but the warm colours and the feel of the cafe make up for it. 

Madras Square

Cosy up at Madras Square on ECR. This cafe has a studio apartment feel to it, and feels like looking through blue-tinted glass. You can take a walk outside on the green lawn or look out at the picture-perfect view while you sip on some Chardonnay. What’s more?

Kipling Cafe

Sit in tiny huts and recreate magic from an older time at this cafe on ECR. You could sit out and have a more medieval feel to your date, or cosy up inside between the red walls of the cafe. Indulge in Thai food platters, pizza, and more along with exotic cocktails. It's great for a candlelight dinner too!

The Brew Room, Savera

Quaint and cosy, this cafe is all things romantic. With coffee brown benches and greenery around, it feels like you’re sitting in a park. You can do a brekkie date with waffles, French toast, and croissants here or indulge in burgers, brownies, and pasta. Their coffee selection is the best. 

Cafe De Paris

Illustrations of Paris, vintage bicycles, and an iconic bench to sit on and take a picture, all set in a glasshouse. This cafe is all things French and the aroma of freshly baked treats just adds to the whole experience. Head there with your date and let the ambience work its magic. The food here is great too - they have sandwiches, burgers, pizza, pasta, salads, and super appetizing desserts.
