I visit Better Days 1-2 times a week to unwind after work, and it never disappoints. The atmosphere is absolutely perfect—cozy, inviting, and just the right balance of lively and relaxed. The staff is friendly and the music is great. It’s my go-to spot to reset after a long day. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a welcoming place to relax!

Early evening on a Saturday and it was cooling due to the rain and that made the mood just a tad better.. especially with a pint to go with the podcast I'm writing. Despite the nice backdrop, the Guinness could be a bit colder.. and that's probably the only complaint. I'm not sure what non happy hour prices were like, but my Guinness was $11.90 (including tax). I've taken note of this spot, will be back again.

Stopped by this cozy café and bar for a quick drink and bite. The atmosphere was super chill and laid-back, perfect for winding down. The food was decent, and the drinks really hit the spot. Definitely a great place to relax. I’ll be back again soon for their coffee!

Been here a couple times now, and it never disappoints. The music is always on point, and the bartenders are super friendly—great service without any attitude. Drinks come out fast and are consistently good, which is kind of rare to find. The vibe at night is just perfect—chill but lively, just the right kind of atmosphere to hang out and enjoy. Definitely one of my favourite spots to grab a drink and unwind.

This is my favourite cafe, have been here many times and it never fails to disappoint. I recently asked for a customised drink and they made a special Gula Melaka latte for me ◡̈ I really love the alfresco setup which overlooks gorgeous nature, and it is very cooling since they have the aircon switched on till 5pm on weekdays! Definitely a great cafe which I will visit often.

Had the loveliest catchup with my friends at this amazing cafe and bar! Owner is super friendly, and absolutely love that it’s tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the food centre. Drinks were refreshing, and the atmosphere at night is also really nice for hangouts. Will definitely come back again, it’s must-visit hidden gem at Beauty World!

Went here right after a climb at Bukit Timah — the name Better Days really says it all. The café is small and simple inside, but there’s a semi-outdoor seating area that’s perfect for catching a cool breeze and just unwinding. Ordered a coffee and some light bites — simple, comforting and just right after a good hike: relaxing, satisfying, and no rush.
