Best Coffee Places in Singapore

1

Baker & Cook

Coffee at Baker & Cook can best be described as a huge pair of underpants can best be described as comfortable. It’s comforting to know that you’ll get a great cup of coffee that isn’t overly strong when you go to any of its locations. Every cup of coffee is accompanied by a scrumptious tiny square of brownie (hot tip: never let the kids get wind of this, otherwise you will forevermore be handing over your brownie to the mini dictators).

Atlas Coffeehouse

You can tell that these people take coffee very seriously. “Atlas Coffeehouse is a firm believer in the power of speciality coffee, and it is constantly honed.” When you go to Atlas Coffeehouse on a weekend, you’ll find a long line of people waiting to get a cup of coffee. During the week, though, the atmosphere is more laid-back, and tables are easier to come by. Pancakes and mushrooms on toast are two must-try items from the brunch menu.

Kith Cafe

Kith was established in 2009 as one of the forerunners in the café scene with a small shop by the river at Robertson Quay. Fast forward to this day, Kith has expanded with 10 outlets across Singapore. Kith continues to hold its own in the thriving café community by continually taking its offerings to the next level with a menu that now includes a wide array of full dining options.

Kith’s all-day dining options acquired a keen following of customers including coffee-lovers and food aficionados, building a strong community of friends and families who enjoy the unbeatable combination of good coffee, food and company.

Forty Hands

Coffee from Common Man Coffee Roasters is used at Forty Hands. If you’re looking for a particularly strong caffeine hit, this is the one to go for. This is Tiong Bahru’s original coffee house, and it’s well worth a visit. With healthy yet tasty options like broccolini quinoa salad and smashed avo on toast, the food selection will make you salivate. You should also treat yourself to a slice of cake. You’ve earned it.

Hvala

This minimalist cafe, which serves matcha, hojicha, and genmaicha teas from various Japanese prefectures, allows you to find your inner peace away from the bustling streets of Orchard. For a fast pick-me-up, sip lattes, ice blends, and cold brews. Looking for a longer stay? Serve your drinks with a variety of cakes in matcha, hojicha, and chocolate flavors.

Bacha Coffee

At Bacha Coffee’s luxurious location, which is steeped in elements of blue, brass, and chrome, you may experience a bit of Moroccan culture. You’ll be spoilt for choice with over 200 single-origin coffees, flavoured coffees, exquisite blended coffees and naturally decaffeinated coffees displayed on saffron-lined oak shelves. Did they mention that all of the coffees are brewed in a golden gooseneck coffee pot? It’s truly a king’s cup of coffee.

Nassim Hill Bakery Bistro Bar

This cafe on the fringe of Orchard Road, tucked away in the Tanglin Post Office building, is an extra bus trip from the MRT station, but the meal is well worth the extra effort. The place has a relaxed ambiance that is ideal for group gatherings, and it has a varied menu that includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day, as well as desserts and beverages. There’s also a store in Somerset, if you’re interested.

Wild Honey is one of our top recommendations for a hearty breakfast plate to start the weekend off right! Spanish, a delicious combination of diced pork, corned beef, and potatoes with poached eggs on brioche, and Brittany (only available at Scotts Square), a delicious panettone French toast with baby bananas, salted caramel mascarpone, toffee hazelnuts, and salted caramel sauce, are two of their favorites.

Oriole Coffee is the place to go if you like cold brew coffee! Cold-pressed nut milk made from macadamia, almonds, and dates is excellent, and you may have it black, with milk, or with cold-pressed nut milk made from macadamia, almonds, and dates (aptly called M.A.D. milk).

This coffee shop has a great assortment of brunch items as well as a great cup of coffee. This is their go-to destination for a date with their books because of the mellow ambiance and the contemporary interior architecture (look at those glass ceiling roofs!).
