Balminas review of Cat Socrates
After much discussion and debates, my group members, comprising of myself (Balminas), and Azlina decided to use Cat Socrates, located at Bras Basah Complex, as our observational study.
Reason being, we found Cat Socrates interesting, as the shop not only sells unique, one-of-a-kind handmade crafts that are not found elsewhere but they also have a mini cafe at the back of the shop close to the window, where its patrons can simply kick back, relax and enjoy the view while sipping on a bottle of Iced Lemon Tea and doing their work at the same time.
Upon entering the shop, you would be greeted warmly by the shop owner herself, who stands behind a counter on the left. Looking around the shop, you will see shelves stocked full of handmade crafts, such as tote bags, hats, ornaments, bangles, necklaces, greeting cards and such, that were either donated or sold to the shop owner to sell to other customers. If you were to walk a few steps ahead into the depths of the shop, you will find a row of tables and chairs, which is where the cafe is.
We sat ourselves down, ordered a round of drinks and got down to business, which is tackling our assignments. The cozy ambience and the gentle soothing music playing in the background made all of us feel relaxed and take a load of our minds so that we were able to concentrate on doing our assignments.
There was even a sign on the table saying 'Make yourselves feel comfortable and feel at home. Just don't bring the store goods into the cafe'. The shop-cum-cafe itself was air-conditioned and peaceful.
