Letters to Tomorrow: Nuldam Space's Vegan Magic & Future-Self Postcards Land in Singapore This Week!

In a world that's constantly buzzing with notifications and endless scrolls, imagine a café where the sweetest indulgence isn't just the pastries. It's the pause you give yourself to dream about tomorrow. Enter Nuldam Space, the beloved Korean vegan haven that's about to sprinkle a little introspection and indulgence into Singapore's café scene. Slated to open its doors on October 24, 2025, this isn't your run-of-the-mill dessert spot. It's a gentle nudge to write a letter to your future self, sealed with a promise and a stamp, to be delivered exactly one year later. If you've ever wished for a time capsule disguised as a latte date, this is it.

From Seoul's Serene Corners to Singapore's Heart

Nuldam Space first bloomed in Seoul's Gyeongbokgung and Haebangchon neighbourhoods, quickly becoming a quiet rebellion against the city's relentless pace. Founded as a vegan café with a philosophical twist, it started with a simple mission: to create "a space filled with you", a place for vegan drinks, desserts, and heartfelt letters that bridge the gap between now and next year. What began as a cosy nook for locals has grown into a cultural phenomenon, drawing travellers who crave more than just a caffeine fix. Think plant-based treats paired with the cathartic ritual of penning your hopes, regrets, or wildest aspirations on provided stationery. Once written, your letter is tucked away by the café staff, only to wing its way back to you 365 days later. A surprise from yesterday's you.

In Korea, Nuldam Space has earned rave reviews for its unhurried vibe and stunning views, like the one overlooking Haebangchon Village. It's the kind of spot where solo diners lose track of time amid soft lighting and minimalist decor, much like a modern-day love letter to mindfulness. Now, after a two-year expansion push, it's crossing borders to make its international debut right here in Singapore.

The Magic of the Letter-Writing Ritual

At the heart of Nuldam Space is its signature service: the one-year-later letter. Grab a seat, sip on a creamy vegan matcha latte, and let the provided envelopes and pens guide you. Scribble about your current stresses, your bucket-list dreams, or even a cheeky reminder to "stop doom-scrolling at 2 a.m." The café handles the rest, storing your words safely and mailing them back with no extra cost beyond the joy it brings. It's therapeutic, isn't it? In an era of instant gratification, this delayed delivery feels revolutionary, turning a casual café visit into a personal time machine.

Pre-opening pop-ups have already teased Singaporeans with this experience, letting early birds test the waters at SCAPE's second floor. Creators and curious souls have been buzzing about it on social media, sharing glimpses of their handwritten confessions amid the café's warm, wooden aesthetics.

Indulge in Layers of Vegan Delight

Of course, no visit would be complete without sampling the menu. And oh, what a menu it is. Nuldam Space specialises in guilt-free vegan pastries that look like edible art. The star? Their signature layered cakes, stacked high with velvety creams and fresh flavours. Choose from seven tempting options:

• Cookies and Cream: A nostalgic nod to childhood crushes, with crumbly Oreo-like bits in every bite.

• Tiramisu: Coffee-soaked sponge meets mascarpone magic, all plant-based.

• Sweet Potato: Earthy and subtly sweet, perfect for autumnal vibes.

• Dark Chocolate: For the purists who believe bitterness is bliss.

Pair it with their roster of vegan drinks. Think oat milk flat whites, herbal teas, or seasonal fruit-infused lemonades. Prices are wallet-friendly (expect around SGD $8–12 for cakes), making it an accessible escape for students, professionals, or anyone needing a mid-week reset. Everything's crafted with love, using high-quality, sustainable ingredients that align with the café's ethos of self-care and kindness, to yourself and the planet.

Where and When to Find Your Slice of Serenity

Mark your calendars: Nuldam Space Singapore opens fully on October 24, 2025, at SCAPE, 2 Orchard Link, #02-14/15 (that's the cultural hub tucked away near Somerset MRT). Pre-opening hours have been running from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on select days, but expect the full lineup of letter-writing stations and extended hours post-launch.

Getting there is a breeze. Hop off at Somerset Station (Exit B) and stroll five minutes through the artsy SCAPE grounds. It's the ideal pit stop after a shopping spree on Orchard Road or a reflective wander through nearby Fort Canning Park.

Why Nuldam Space Feels Like a Hug from the Future

Singapore's café landscape is already a feast for the senses, but Nuldam Space stands out by feeding your soul as much as your sweet tooth. In a city that never sleeps, this Korean import offers a rare invitation to slow down, reflect, and reconnect, with a side of tiramisu, naturally. Whether you're journalling solo on a rainy afternoon or sharing the experience with a friend (pro tip: write tandem letters for extra fun), it's a reminder that the best gifts are the ones you give yourself.

So, here's our letter to you, dear reader: When October 24 rolls around, treat yourself to Nuldam Space. Who knows? The version of you receiving that envelope next year might just thank me.
