8 of our favourite cafes in Jewel to chill and work at

Ever since the start of Circuit Breaker, many of us have been working from home since the earlier half of 2020. And while some of us are headed back to the office this year, WFH arrangements are still ongoing for many others.

Now, it may seem convenient to wake up next to your desk, but there comes a point in time where you may be met with WFH fatigue.

At times you’re faced with disruptions from your neighbours next door, or you might just feel like your productivity levels have been on an all-time low. Whatever the case is, if you’re looking for a new spot to work at or even a place to take a break from, consider visiting these spots here at Jewel.
