Good news to all west side dwellers! Flock Cafe has opened its second outlet in the heartlands of Ghim Moh neighbourhood. We are certain that you would have chanced upon Flock Café during one of your café-hopping adventures at hipster residential estate Tiong Bahru. The family-run rustic café is simple and unpretentious, providing patrons a variety of wholesome handcrafted dishes at affordable prices.
Located at Ghim Moh Road’s HDB block 21, Flock Café remains under the radar when compared to its original outlet outlet.
Having great coffee is almost mandatory for a café to survive in Singapore’s cut-throat industry and we are glad that Flock Café’s caffeine did not disappoint. Using the popular Speakeasy Blend from Liberty Coffee, our medium-bodied lattes (S$5) had a cocoa and nutty tone with a distinct caramel finish.
Besides the handmade beef burger (S$17) and chicken burger (S$15) that are exclusive to Flock Café Ghim Moh, the remaining options are rather similar to that of Tiong Bahru’s. From their delectable variety of nourishing all-day breakfast items to tantalising bar bites, there is definitely something that will catch your fancy. A selection of sweet treats, such as the tasty Lemon Tart (S$7) is also up for grabs.
There is a public car park located directly outside the café and Buona Vista MRT Station is within a quick 10-minute stroll. Why travel all the way to central or the East, when there are already so many great cafes in the West of Singapore?
It seems like the trend of opening a café in HDB residential area is here to stay. Perhaps Ghim Moh would soon be the next up-and-coming neighbourhood. Who knows?

I can’t help thinking that this is a grossly ignorant review, and all it serves to do is to perpetuate the superficial, café hopping fad without delving into what makes a place (and its broader environment ie. the estate it’s in) truly charming and worthy of mention. And you didn’t even mention the well-known Ghim Moh Market that’s just across the road.
