Crazy cat lady who loves afternoon tea, kawaii Japanese fashion, and all things Sanrio.

Dreaming of a summer sojourn? Love, Bonito is bringing Paris right here to us in Singapore with their new French-inspired pop-up cafe. Decorated with vibrant florals, this limited-time experience also comes with free pastries, desserts, and drinks for customers’ redemption.

P.S.: For more outing ideas, check out our list of 20 new things to do in August 2022.

Located at their Funan outlet, this Love, Bonito pop-up is held in conjunction with Shopback, which now offers their installment-free PayLater service as a payment option at the popular fashion store.

While it has always been a pretty space for ladies to do their clothes shopping, the store has gotten its decor taken up a notch with romantic Parisian vibes to celebrate this new collaboration. The first thing you’ll see at the entrance is a black lamp post, standing next to a cute vintage-style bicycle adorned with flowers.

Head further in and you’ll see a pink flower-framed doorway leading to the pop-up cafe where you can grab some free refreshments after doing your shopping.

One complimentary food option is the French Cold Tarté from Champion Bolo Bun. If that sounds unfamiliar to you, it’s because it’s a never-before-seen menu item that will only be launching at Champion Bolo Bun from 25 August onwards. It also happens to be their very first non-bolo item. This is your chance to try it before everyone else!

Otherwise, opt for the Museum of Ice Cream’s signature Pink Velvet Cake ice cream, with your choice of coffee or tea from PPP Coffee. Beverages can be served hot or cold; We picked Earl Grey and Oolong teas for ourselves.

Well, there is a catch - in order to redeem the free noms, you’ll first have to make a Love, Bonito purchase via ShopBack PayLater. If you were planning on getting new outfits anyway, you might as well head down during this period to make the most out of it!

Additional perks:

New ShopBack users will get $10 off at Love, Bonito, both online and in-stores, with a minimum purchase of $30
Existing ShopBack users will get $10 off with a minimum purchase of $100
Visit the pop-up cafe to get vouchers for 50% off the French Cold Tarté, redeemable at Champion Bolo Bun's outlet
First 20 customers daily at Champion Bolo Bun will receive a $5 Love, Bonito voucher with purchase of French Cold Tarté from 27 August to 5 September

Fret not if you haven’t got anything in your shopping bag, because there’s always the opportunity to snap some OOTDs for free at the floral photo spot in the infinity mirror room.

The mirror is emblazoned with the wording “Come Into Your Own - the brand’s new tagline. This refresh seeks to evoke self-discovery and empowerment in women from all walks of life, and inspire them to bloom like flowers in their own time, through their own unique journeys. Below the main slogan is the text “I am proud of the woman I am today, and the one I’m becoming” in smaller font, to remind us that growth is an ongoing process.

The Paris-themed Love, Bonito x ShopBack pop-up will be running over one weekend only, from 19 to 21 August 2022.
