The Moon is an independent bookstore, café and private event space, nestled in one of Singapore’s heritage districts.

Our aim is to showcase as much of the Earth’s diversity as our shelves can hold. From the events we host and to the event space itself, we are committed to making The Moon a safe and inclusive haven for everyone.

If there is a book or title that you feel we should champion, or if you have any feedback as to how we can be better (because we will make mistakes), we’d love to hear from you.

An appealing space for notorious bookworms, The Moon converges as a bookstore, event space and cafe under one roof! Here, you can browse through a diverse selection of titles across various genres from both the juggernauts of publishing and small indie presses, especially those who have been historically excluded from the centre of publishing, and may have slipped under the radar of the mainstream. Their selection highlights writers, stories and books from emerging writers, writers of colour, queer writers and writers who write in translation. 

The cafe’s menu thoughtfully accommodates various dietary restrictions and choices, and is a cosy nook upstairs where coffee, books and conversations are free-flowing. The third floor holds an extended seating area and event space that remains open to free community events and private bookings — with a delightful inclusion to grab a book from their communal lending library (or donate a used book of your own!). The store adeptly lives up to a reputation of ‘something new can always be discovered on The Moon.’

The Moon brings you stories and books from emerging writers, writers of colour and queer writers while also striving to dissolve gender imbalance. You’d also love their cosy nook upstairs and their wonderful cafe where coffee, books and conversations keep flowing.

The Moon has taken upon itself to bring you stories and books from not just prominent, popular authors but also talented ones who are yet to share the limelight. They lay special focus on writers of colour while also dissolving the gender imbalance. Wow! We’re in awe of their inclusivity, their cosy nook upstairs and their wonderful cafe where coffee, books and conversations about those books keep flowing. Not the mingling kind? They’ve got all of their collection available online too.
