How many have you ticked off your list?
It seems the fates of character-themed cafés are rather volatile. It's either they tide through the hype and become permanent fixtures in the culinary scene, or unfortunately fizzle out, along with the demise of their adorable characters. So it doesn't come as a surprise that pop-up cafés look to be more popular amongst business owners, where they can cash in on these fun concepts without succumbing to the possibility of being irrelevant soon after. Well, not that we're complaining as most of them prove to be a 'first-and-last-time' kind of visit.
Here are 10 you should pop by before we (inevitably) welcome more next year:

8. Platform 1094
J.K Rowling may approve of this unofficial Harry Potter-themed cafe called Platform 1094, located along Serangoon Road. Entering the cafe is like walking into the fantasy books’ The Three Broomsticks inn, where you’ll be greeted by wooden paneled walls, ceiling candelabrums and antique fixtures that reflect the medieval era. Aside from its ethereal names, the food and beverages aren’t say very magic-themed like. But do go for the show-stopping Goblet of Fire, which is served with a brim of flames that licks the surface of its alcoholic brew.
