About Plain Vanilla
Plain Vanilla is best known for cupcakes and bakes, but its cafes now include brunch, salads, hot mains and Allpress coffee at selected outlets. The Telok Ayer store is especially useful for work because it sits in the CBD, opens early and has a calmer pastel-toned room than many office-lobby coffee bars. It is better for light laptop sessions than full-day camping, and works well when you want coffee, a proper bake and a tidy table.
