Some places aren't built with plans; they grow out of a feeling. Forwords began as a quiet little corner — the kind of place where coffee met calm, and pages turned slower than the world outside.
It was never meant to be loud or grand. Just a few tables, a few books, and the smell of freshly brewed coffee mingling with the sizzle of Maggi, omelettes, and toasted sandwiches. A space for anyone who needed a moment — to read, to think, to breathe.
And as hearts gathered, so did flavors. The kitchen stretched its arms — a little Chinese warmth, a touch of continental comfort, a whisper of Korean spice — each dish carrying a piece of our growing story.
Forwords became a haven for those who seek both comfort and connection. Families who dine slow. Readers who lose themselves in stories. Creators who find focus over coffee.
It's not just a café — it's a gentle pause in your day. A place to read, to work, to relax… and to simply be.
