Welcome to Stomping Ground — a space where Stompers share reflections, personal essays and social commentaries that spark conversation and insight.
Is there such a thing as too many coffee shops?
Stomper Jimmy, who lives at Jurong West Street 41, seems to think so. By his count, his neighbourhood has seven coffee shops as of April 7, including a new one at Block 495 that is about to open.
Blocks 493 and 494 have one each, Tahoe Garden and Meetup@494 respectively.
Block 496 has two with Kimly Coffee Shop and FoodHub. Block 498 offers another two, 7 Stars and Chang Cheng Mee Wah Coffee Shop.
“It is small residential enclave overwhelmed by seven coffee shops,” said Jimmy. “I guess this is a first in Singapore.”
