It’s no secret that the Haji Lane area is a crowd-favourite for scouring vintage clothing, bars and interesting knick-knacks. The ever-changing neighbourhood has seen the arrival and departure of many stores over time, and each visit can bring about something different to explore.

The next time you’re heading down to the popular spot, make sure to pop by these four places for what to eat, do and shop.

FLAME VINTAGE

According to FLAME VINTAGE, they are not to be mistaken for a thrift store. The vintage clothing shop has almost 8000 followers on Instagram, and recently shifted base from Jalan Pisang to Haji Lane. You can expect racks and racks of stylish windbreakers, sweaters, graphic tees, jerseys and even snag your own customed-dye shirts.

The recent V FEST event which features a line-up of other vintage vendors including FLAME VINTAGE might have ended in February, but keep a lookout for the next opportunity to get your hands on some cool vintage pieces.

Windowsill Pies

4 places you should pop by when at the Haji Lane area

It can be easy to walk right past Windowsill Pies because of their unassuming storefront, but the crowd-favourite pies are something to give a taste.

Previously known to many as Windowsill Pies In The Woods, they focus on a signature buttery and flaky crust for their pies, and you can choose from a variety of flavours like the Grasshopper (mint chocolate), Classic Pecan, Morello Sour Cherry and Banana Almond & Cognac. Whilst reviews online show mixed feelings for different pies, who knows, you might find a flavour or two to your liking.

And as much as it would be delightful to enjoy a nice tea break at their three-storey shophouse, they’re sadly currently only doing takeaways. If you’re planning to swing by, you might want to head there earlier to avoid being greeted with sold-out flavours later during the day.

Address:
17 Haji Lane Singapore 189210
Opening hours: 11 am – 5 pm (Tues – Sun, closed on Mon)
