Coffee

[CLARKE QUAY, SINGAPORE] It's quite rare to see places offer houjicha related drinks, and @staywithkinn has a limited time houjicha drinks menu till the end of Sep 2025! We tried all the drinks from the menu and here's what we felt about it:

Houjicha Coconut 🥥 ($7) - this was so refreshing! The earthy notes from the houjicha complemented well with the tropical taste of the coconut water. The sweetness of the coconut water nullified the bitterness of the houjicha abit, making it perfect for a summer drink!

Houjicha Harmony 🍵($7) - this was interesting, as instead of sugar syrup, they added longan red date syrup. You don't taste the latter predominantly, but it does add a slight herbal aftertaste to the houjicha. This is sweeter and richer than the houjicha coconut!

Houjicha Milo 🍫 ($7.50) - ok this may cross some lines for some people 😂 I feel like it's way too rich for me, but interestingly the houjicha taste is nullified, and instead you get a really malty drink.

Savoury Shrimp Crossiant 🥐 ($7) - this was SO crispy and flaky! The filling is very interesting, as it is a sweet savoury sauce made with dried chilli shrimp that added a good kick. Honestly quite addictive but definitely a pastry to share between 2!

Though there are limited seats, the cafe has a nice chill vibe (colour scheme matches the houjicha drinks 🤯), with a very nice perfume (due to the space shared with the hotel lobby). If you want to try, please do so soon this month! Thank you for inviting @staywithkinn !

[CHINATOWN, SINGAPORE] Guys, I think I have found the hidden coffee gem 😍 Rated 5 stars with 100+ reviews, this is one place you might wanna check out!

Being a coffee lover, I had to check out their coffee selections. I was surprised to find out that their latte prices are much lower than others at $5.30 per cup, and making it iced comes with no extra charge 🤩 What's even better is that their drinks (except pourovers) are going at $4 per cup from 2-4pm on weekdays 🤯

Their Iced Latte was simply splendid. With just the right amount of ice and milk, it was incredibly smooth with a strong caramel nutty flavour, with a slight hint of acidity towards the back that elevated its flavour. Definitely a well balanced cup!

Though they have very limited seating, this is definitely one place to get your coffee fix if you are working nearby. @agoracoffeecs I can tell that you're serious about making coffee and your cuppa had made my day!

[MAXWELL, SINGAPORE] Finally had a chance to head over to @kyuukeicoffee's latest outlet at KADA and I must say that it's beautiful 😍 loved the chill vibes and the coffee we've got!

The interior boasts a very aesthetic yet calming environment, great for conversations with coffee. Speaking of which, their Iced Latte ☕ ($7.80) was well rounded with chocolatey flavours and yet slightly tangy fruity notes towards the back. Smooth yet aromatic, this is a great cup of coffee to sip over a chat with your loved ones.

To pair with your coffee, their Big Brownie 🟫 ($4) is a good option as it was the cakey type, with deep chocolatey flavours and wasn't too sweet.

Definitely coming back :)

[HOLLAND VILLAGE, SINGAPORE] If you are looking for a solid coffee after some good food around the Holland village area, @mavrxcoffee would definitely be your choice. This was recommended by a friend of mine and I was thoroughly impressed 💯

Their Iced Latte ($7.50) was incredibly rich with chocolate and caramel flavours without being too bitter. There was little to no sharpness and was smooth ✨ the aftertaste has a little fruity scent to it, which was a delight to have!

Thank you Logan for pulling such good shots! Definitely coming back again!

[QUEENSTOWN, SINGAPORE] One look at this coffee and I know it's gonna be good 😋 finally been to this small but aesthetic cafe that serves up pretty quality brew!

Their Iced Latte ☕ ($7) had a good chocolate caramel flavour with hints of fragrant maple which I liked 😍 it's quite a big cup and I thoroughly enjoyed it till the last drop. The Iced Black ☕ ($6.50) was different, as it was smooth with a light tartness. Not too acidic as well. Definitely refreshing!

What's even better is that it's available 1 for 1 on #burpplebeyond. This is a coffee I can imagine myself getting if I work around the area. As seats are quite limited, maybe it's better to come and order take away!

Explored a nearby cafe, and this place seems like they are very serious with their coffee. With a roastery at the back, their coffee flavours are definitely on a lighter, fruiter side, evidently from their Iced Latte ($7). Interesting how their latte had an apple aftertaste. This place is great for people who love a good filter coffee!

[QUEENSTOWN, SINGAPORE] If you are looking for coffee just after a great feast at Alexandra Village Hawker Centre, you now know where to go! @rookies.coffee is a humble coffee shop nestled within the bustling neighbourhood and they serve up great quality coffee 😍

I got their Iced Black ($6) which was very fruity, so much so that I thought I was drinking fruit juice! It was very smooth as well and totally refreshing!

There aren't many seats around, so do take note if you are coming with a big group. I do love the cute stickers and posters around the place which added to the chill vibe 😍 (P.S.... they have other interesting coffee drinks as well which I wanna try out next time!)

[MOUNTBATTEN, SINGAPORE] With a huge selection of seasonal beans, @vernacularcoffee is one cafe to visit if you love your coffee.

Situated within the Singapore Badminton Hall, we were greeted with a very delicious coffee aroma upon entering. With a huge selection of beans of different origins, we were spoilt for choice and had a hard time choosing the flavour profile we wanted.

I settled with some Vietnamese Robusta beans for my Iced White ($6.50) which were incredibly chocolatey, perfect with the milk used. It wasn't sharp and was very well rounded. The Indonesian arabica beans were so very interesting, as it was nutty with a very nice fruity apricot aroma aftertaste which I've not experienced before!

Definitely coming back here for more next time!!

[BRAS BERSAH, SINGAPORE] My only question: why haven't I tried this earlier??? The coffee here was really amazing 😍

We had their Iced Latte ☕ ($7) and Signature Dirty ☕ ($7.50) and both were really good. The Iced Latte was so fragrant, and the dark roast flavours of the coffee came through so strongly. The chocolate and nutty notes were so lovely! This was definitely a very enjoyable cup. The Signature Dirty was also very fragrant and strong, and had such an interesting flavour! It was definitely sweetened by some syrup as well.

The Red Tea Chestnut Pound Cake 🍰 ($5.50) was also delicious, with grounded chestnut flavour coming through strongly. The red tea flavour came in after, making this cake even more aromatic! Really does give the autumn vibes. However, I do find it abit too sweet.

So coming back here again for their coffee and desserts 😍

[TANJONG PAGAR, SINGAPORE] Finally ticked this cafe @butter_tgt off my list and it was pretty impressive! Food and drinks ordered were all pretty good 😍

Let's start off with their drinks! The Iced Latte ☕ ($7) was such a joy to have, as it was creamy, thick, rich and so full of chocolate and nutty notes which I love! It was also a smooth blend that went down my throat easily. The Lemon Eispanner ☕ ($9) was quite expensive, but it was still a good drink, with a much lighter blend. To be honest I think the aromatic lemon syrup might have overpowered the coffee, but it was still a good option if you don't like strong coffees! Definitely a light refreshing drink to have.

I couldn't leave their place without trying their Madeleine 🥐 ($7.50 for 3) and indeed it was a wonderful bake. They were smart to make it a made-to- order item, as the crispy buttery crust was so heavenly. It wasn't too sweet either and complemented the strong Iced Latte so well. Such a great mouth feel and flavour!

Definitely recommended for those who haven't tried! Worthy of a 2nd visit as well 😍

Once again, I've heard about the raving reviews here at @bigshortcoffee and they definitely satisfied my coffee cravings and warmed my heart 😍 This is another hit on my to-go list!

Big Short Coffee not only serves up the usual coffee variations, they also create seasonal coffee and non-coffee concoctions that were really delicious. My favourite among the 4 we have tried was definitely the Mont Blanc ($8), as it was an eispanner but lighter. You get the citrus flavours complementing the light fruity flavour of the coffee. The vanilla cream was light, which makes this really refreshing!

Their Big Short Blend was a strong one, as the Warabi Mochi ($8.50) showcased the flavours well. It was rich and aromatic, full of chocolate notes. With the Warabi Mochi at the bottom and the cream on top, this drink feels like bubble tea but with coffee. So interesting! I can already imagine their latte being a good cuppa.

With their seasonal menu, I'm definitely coming back again to try other variations. This makes coffee sipping such a fun and enjoyable process!

Thank you @bigshortcoffee for the drinks and @eatwithkeat for the invite!

A new cafe at One-North! Little Glass from @glassroasters offers a small intimate space with speciality matcha and coffee drinks. Their Iced Latte ($6.80) was definitely bold in flavour, but their beans seem to be of a lighter roast with a fruity finish. Such beans I believe would work better without milk! Their latte seem to taste much more chocolate-y and nutty at their Tiong Bahru outlet!

Unfortunately I did not have a taste of my friend's Iced Matcha drink, but they do have a variety to choose from 😍 it seems like it's incredibly rich and umami! Will try another day hehe

Another coffee/matcha option for the working crowd nearby 😃
