Tiong Hoe Specialty Coffee (Queenstown)

☕️

Latte 3/5
Piccolo (Gachala, Columbia Supremo Huila, Guatemala La Providencia) 3/5
Hazel 4/5

Enjoy a cuppa coffee at this quaint cafe in Queenstown, made all the more cosy with its wood furnishings. Loved both their white cold brew and cafe latte.

First visit to Tiong Hoe’s original outlet after its renovation. It’s now more spacious and can fit more tables in its cosy interior. The shelves of merchandise and the Chinese calligraphy banner (咖啡, or “coffee” in Chinese) still remain.

The smooth and robust 𝗙𝗹𝗮𝘁 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲 ($5.00) was as good as I remember it to be. The 𝗔𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗽 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗸𝗲 ($8.50, from Keong Saik Bakery) was a revelation. The moist cake emitted fragrant, floral notes and had chewy attap chee (palm seeds) embedded within. Coupled with the shortbread cookie base, it created a delightful textural contrast.

@tionghoespecialtycoffee is still one of my favourite coffee spots.

Nice place for studying or working

Not stranger to Singapore coffee scene, Tiong Hoe has call this place a home since 2014 and expanded their brand to different part of Singapore.

Nestled under HDB in this neighbourhood, you could see they actually roasting their coffee bean on-site at the next door.

Their mocha taste strong with the taste and I enjoy it a lot to kickstart my morning.
