Formed in 2011, Epigram Books is Singapore’s largest independent publisher with titles like The Art Of Charlie Chan Hock Chye by Sonny Liew and State Of Emergency by Jeremy Tiang under its belt. Now, you can find all your favourite local books by Epigram at their first physical store on Maxwell Road. Spend the afternoon browsing over 400 books in the store (90 percent of the books are by local authors) while you sip on a latte and other espresso-based drinks.
Reading is certainly fun – until you start feeling that tummy growl in hunger. Fuel up for a literary adventure at these conducive places that combine books and brews, allowing you to sip a warm cuppa in one hand while flipping through the pages on another. For those looking to spend a day getting lost in a paperback, complete with aromatic brews and light bites, these cafés hidden within bookstores have you covered.
