A newly-opened cafe has been ordered by the authorities to close its doors — just a little over a month after it opened.
The reason? The owner had illegally built a mezzanine inside the food court at Oxley Bizhub located at Ubi — which they also own — to house Cafe Limonci, which serves coffee, pastries and gelato.
According to Shin Min Daily News, the establishment is currently under investigation by the Building and Construction Authority (BCA), the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) and the Singapore Food Agency (SFA).
The BCA also issued a Closure and Demolition Order to the owners on April 10, reported the Chinese daily.
The name of the food court was not mentioned in that report.
When a reporter from the Chinese daily visited the cafe on Wednesday (April 19), the staircase that led to the cafe had already been sealed off.
Shin Min also spoke to another tenant in the same building, who said that the mezzanine had actually been built years ago, but was left vacant.
Cafe Limonci took to Instagram to announce their untimely closure last Wednesday (April 12), saying "overzealous naysayers" had reported them to the authorities.

It is pretty common for many to build a mezzanine floor for office use when the unit has a high ceiling. This one operates as a cafe making it grander.

I have been to that food court (if Oxley Bizhub has only one food court) about 10 years ago. Can't remember if the ceiling is that high that a mezzanine can be built there.
That junction where Oxley Bizhub is at is a food courts junction. Besides the one at Oxley Bizhub (south east), there's one at Breadtalk IHQ (Food Republic at north east). Then another food court at the upcoming Grantal Mall where biz is quite brisk (north west). South west is a park and a nursing home, so no food court there but further west of it is full of eateries along MacPherson Road and there's 2 coffeeshops in MacPherson Lane.
