Papa Palheta: The Tasting Experience

There is just something about how raw and real the feel of Papa Palheta coffee shop in Singapore is. This shop has gone a different route than most other cafes and coffee shops and has created a space and business that is about the perfection of the product. The tasting room serves up fresh brews in the tasting room free of charge and you can wander around the courtyard, sip, enjoy, and decide what you want to buy. Coffee in Singapore does not have the loyalty that coffee has elsewhere. Papa Palheta is changing that day by day by importing some of the best beans from around the world and really working to perfect the roast. “We constantly strive to improve our roasting techniques and brewing methods – the spirit of speciality coffee.”

Love the graphics on the window!
Sipping coffee to the sound of the typewriter I find this to be so inspiring!


Absolutely love the raw feel of this space.
Yum!
The space just looks so cozy and peaceful and feels very real.

Chestnuts & Papaya

I am in such a linen phase right now so I was so happy when I came across the fabulous collection of handspun linen products at Chestnuts & Papaya. I am drooling over these striped linen clutches with the leather flaps!



Vintage French Ticking Clutch

I am imagining myself now placing my purple broccoli from the farmers market in this great handwoven market bag and pulling out my Vintage French Ticking Clutch to grab some cash to pay for it! Oh what a great thought:-)

Market Basket with Homespun Lining

Check out the entire collection here.

Chestnuts and Papaya also has a great collection of antiques in their LA warehouse, which I'm dying to visit! Here are a couple of my favorites!
