In Singapore’s burgeoning café scene, several iconic establishments have become veritable institutions, with regular patrons spending weekends relaxing there and inhaling their coffee.
One of them is PS.Cafe Petit in Tiong Bahru, which is unfortunately closing down after 13 years of operations.

Residents have lamented the news as the café is like a “community centre” for the estate.
The closure of PS.Cafe Petit was revealed by a netizen who posted about it in the Tiong Bahru Estate community Facebook group.
The resident named Alan shared a photo of a sign posted at the café announcing the sad news.
So far, there has been no other mention of the impending closure on the social media accounts of PS.Cafe Petit or PS.Cafe.
The sign said PS.Cafe Petit will bid farewell to Tiong Bahru on 31 Oct.
They expressed their “deep and sincere gratitude” to patrons and friends for being a part of their “extraordinary” journey over the past 13 years, adding,
It’s time for a change, but let’s not call it a goodbye.
They didn’t give an exact reason for their closure but hoped fans would visit their other PS.Cafe outlets across Singapore.
PS.Cafe Petit is rather unique as it has a gourmet takeaway and retail concept serving pizza, burgers and salads, in contrast to the more high-end offerings at other PS.Cafe outlets.

Alan said it “isn’t quite the same elsewhere”, as PS.Cafe Petit is like a “real community centre” for Tiong Bahru residents.
There, neighbours and friends could mingle and catch up with each other, he said, describing it as a “refreshing change”.
Nevertheless, he appreciated that they decided to open in the “sleepy neighbourhood” way back then.
