| Summary: | The emergence of cafe subculture over the past few decades has changed how middle-class
women interact with one another and partake in food and drink. Cafes have developed into a
hub for social interaction, a place where these women can meet friends, network, or just escape
the stresses of daily life. A distinct subculture reflecting the shifting social dynamics of
Singaporean cafe consumption has emerged as a result of the proliferation of cafés. This study
intends to explore the importance of cafe subculture in the lives of middle-class women,
analysing how these women utilise cafes to negotiate their social identities, engage in cultural
consumption, and develop a feeling of community, through the lens of concepts such as cultural
capital, identity, and gender.
