Asian fusion fare with a social mission

CROSSINGS CAFE

Serving up delicious and affordable comfort food – think chilli crab pasta – this social enterprise channels its profits to charitable and social causes. It also employs at-risk youth to give them the opportunity to gain work experience. 

THE DIFFERENCE YOU MAKE

Part of the Catholic Centre, Crossings Cafe collaborates with a Catholic vocational institute to provide employment for vulnerable youths. When you dine at the cafe, you enable them to reach out to more people in need.

Traveller's Notes

Waterloo Street and around is a fascinating blend of cultures reflecting Singapore melting pot heritage – find a church, a synagogue, a Hindu temple and a Taoist temple on the same street. Explore and enjoy!
