Do cafes make the neighbourhood ‘hipster‘?

When I moved to Singapore from Tokyo, I realised Starbucks is everywhere. But one day, I walked around Tiong Bahru, which is famous as a ‘hipster neighbourhood‘, I only found unique cafes, but no Starbucks. I like the hood and wanted to know similar neighbourhoods where some unique cafes/shops locate.

Then I came up with the idea to visualise the locations of hipster cafes and Starbucks and see the correlation between them.
