So whether you are after a grab-and-go or a relaxed weekend brunch, these cafés have you covered!
Lachér Patisserie
A name already synonymous with refined French pastries and premium cakes, Lachér Patisserie’s new home at The MET offers more than just sweets—it’s a whole experience. While their signature cakes remain the star, savoury bites like the tomato and ricotta or the creamy gochujang egg with chicken—an oozy, flavour-packed creation that’s as much a feast for the eyes as it is for the palate—prove they’re not a one-trick pony.
From fruity mango jasmine and nutty Valrhona Caraibe Hazelnut Praline to classics like Vanilla Saint-Honoré and tiramisu, there’s a dessert for every craving. Matcha fan? Try the Mont Blanc Tart. Prefer local flavours? The Onde Onde cake’s got you. Plus, their signature cakes come in adorable petit sizes—perfect for solo indulgence.
The variety of seating—from cosy booths to sun-drenched window spots—makes it easy to settle in. But come early, as seats fill fast!

Matcha lovers, rejoice—Niko Neko’s new outpost at The MET is a haven for premium Japanese matcha. Just a short stroll from Lachér, this minimalist gem offers four blends (Ren, Kiku, Ajisai, and Yuri), each with its own personality and perks—think energy boosts, natural detox, glowing skin—and varying matcha strengths. Whether you’re a hardcore matcha fan or a first-timer easing in, there’s something for you. Round out your pick with a matcha-infused pastry, and if you’re hooked (which you probably will be), grab some powder or merch to go. Seating is limited, so come early!
