Come lunch time, Grain Traders at Capita Green is not spared from the CBD crowd despite its $16 price tag on its healthy grain bowls. Split responsibilities and let your friend queue at the food counter, while you head for the less busy coffee counter for your java fix. The Flat White ($5.50) is great for a daily boost — the coffee is smooth, with a nutty hint, but it is the White Cold Brew ($7.50) that you cannot miss. The chilled, velvety smooth concoction is the most balanced white cold brew we've tried so far. Such a delight before taking on the rest of the work day!

Dapper Coffee has WiFi, power plugs and rock solid coffee — three good omens for those who work remotely. Like Burpple Tastemaker Eleanor Tay, we come back for the Earl Grey Yuan Yang ($8) — espresso, earl grey tea, bergamot-infused milk and hints of lavender. It's the kind of chilled drink that leaves you feeling refreshed after just one sip! Do note that Dapper Coffee is only open on weekdays.
