Catching our attention is the newly-opened kómma Social Café, which recently opened its doors just last year in December at Paya Lebar Quarter (PLQ). Boasting an open-concept interior, the minimalistic space is adorned with plush cushions, seats, and shelves of artisanal crafted goods, making it a casual hangout spot for one to chill and sip on a cuppa with their pals.

They also host monthly workshops and activities, aiming to start conversations amongst the creative community.

kómma serves up a selection of pastries and coffee, offering only small bites for the casual diner.

We tried the Chocolate Banana Waffle (S$10); you can choose between a half and full waffle and complement them with either sweet or savoury toppings.

The Chocolate Banana waffle is first toasted, laden with chopped roasted banana slices, butter and then sprinkled with cocoa nibs and sugar. The thick waffle also came with a Nutella spread. But to be honest, we thought that the waffle was very underwhelming; they were soggy and undercooked.

Just stick to drinks and forget about the waffle.

Get your caffeine fix with their Iced Latte (S$5.50)! For coffee enthusiasts, kómma has collaborated with Huggs Coffee, offering coffees made from speciality coffee blends.

The beverage was smooth and creamy, leaning towards the lighter, milkier side. If you are a mild coffee lover and prefer something less strong and bitter, then you will definitely like this drink.

In today’s hectic work environment, coffee has become an essential part of our lives. Like most people, we wake up feeling grumpy and prepare for work in a haze of lethargy. But the aroma of coffee will instantly wake us up; always.

Just one sip and the brain starts to run, the eyes brighten, and all at once, you feel ready to take on the day. Being serious coffee nuts, we make it our business to know where to find the best coffee wherever we are. For most of Singapore’s working crowd, it’s the Central Business District (CBD).

Here are 11 of our favourite coffee haunts in Singapore’s Central Business District (CBD) where you can drop by for a morning cuppa.

Most people regard one-north as the CBD of the west, but little did we know that this part of Singapore also happens to be a budding little dining enclave, filled with hearty eateries and stunning cafes.

We all know how important a good cuppa is to get us through a work day, so here are 8 cafes in one-north that you should definitely pay a visit to for great, revitalising coffee. The best part is that they are all within walking distance from one another.

Nothing perks us up on a hectic work day than a top-notch cup of properly brewed coffee. Here are 8 cafes in one-north for you to get your caffeine fix.

BREAD YARD

Bread Yard sprouted on campus in the early and inspiring days of the Singapore University of Technology and Design. It became quite the food icon of the university, drawing in crowds from outside the campus. In three years, the team made a decision to move out of the campus to gain wider access to the public.

At Bread Yard, bread is handcrafted with ancient Japanese and European techniques served with all-day breakfast, sandwiches, leavened pancakes, and aromatic drip coffees in a rustic and fast-casual setting.

ONE MAN COFFEE

This extension branch of One Man Coffee serves the usual cafe beverages and some pastries. Small in size, this outlet serves as more of a grab-and-go for office workers working nearby in need of a solid cuppa.

We highly recommend trying their Nitro Cold Brew. It is surprisingly smooth and easy to drink with a subtle fruity note at the end, great for hot afternoons.

Offering simple, delicious and affordable meals and coffee, from grilled cheese sandwiches to sweet muffins, this is a great spot for a quick lunch or coffee run.

Great news for coffee aficionados, the famous Omotesando Koffee from Tokyo has officially opened in Singapore. Those of you hankering after a cuppa from this highly acclaimed Japanese import can now get their caffeine fix at the shop’s debut Singapore outlet at Downtown Gallery.

We first reported the news of the opening of Omotesando Koffee back in April 2017 and boy are we glad that it is finally in Singapore.

For those of you who are new to the brand, what you can look forward to at this artisanal coffee bar is their high-quality espresso-based beverages. Their first and only outlet in Singapore features a myriad of caffeinated beverages from matcha based drinks to a good old latte so whether you have a burning passion for artisanal brews or not, Omotesando Koffee is a spot worth checking out.

Hailing from Shibuya in Tokyo, the cafe first opened up as a quaint pop-up store in a traditional Japanese house in Omotesando’s residential area in 2011. Word spread quickly as this little takeaway coffee stop quickly gained a strong following among hipsters for its artisanal brews—unfortunately, in 2015, the Japanese house (machiya) got torn down and along with Omotesando Koffee.

Earlier this year, the acclaimed coffee shop reopened in Shibuya and has since expanded to other parts of Japan, Hong Kong and now in Singapore!

The brand’s opening here is a partnership between Hong Kong-born Russell Stradmoor, 28, director and franchising owner of Omotesando Koffee, and Mr Junny Lee, 34, founder of The Work Project—a Singapore-based co-working space operator with a branch in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong.

When it comes to their coffee beans, the way that it is treated can greatly enhance (or compromise) the flavour of your brew. In fact, it’s the brewing methods that tend to be the hallmark of a great artisan coffee.

Here at Omotesando Koffee, their methodology lies in two things: its signature cube-framed bar which houses their baristas and their precise approach to brewing coffee. Beans from Melbourne are roasted in Kyoto by the Ogawa Coffee Roasters, with each blend following specific steps for brewing to bring out the best flavours.

Their espresso is hand-dripped slowly at a controlled temperature to ensure that all the oils and essences from the beans are absorbed to the best of its ability. The end result is a full-bodied cup of coffee that is sure to make anyone’s day.

Their Cafe Latte Doppio (S$5.50) is brewed with their very own house brand of coffee beans. The initial sip is fairly balanced but after a few seconds what you are left with is a subtle fruity note that pleasantly coats your entire mouth. There is mild acidity to it, but the milk really helps to balance it out.

All in all, a delicate brew that makes for a good start to a typical workday.

The Iced Cappuccino (S$7.50) is much more unique than your typical cafe brew. The milk itself is blended beforehand to aerate it. After it is served, give it a few seconds and watch as the surface starts to bubble and foam up. The beverage itself was light and airy, making it easy to drink even for non-coffee experts.

With Omotesando Koffee now open in Downtown Gallery, coffee drinkers will soon have a new go-to cafe for their caffeine fix, which is never bad news for our coffee-cultured society.

In a fast-paced and highly stressful society where Singaporeans are only getting an average of 6 hours 32 minutes of sleep every night, it is little wonder that most people would require that morning dose of caffeine to get through the day.

For those who spend a majority of their time toiling away in the Central Business District (CBD), searching for that flavourful cuppa may be a daunting task.

But fret not, for here are 9 coffee places in Tanjong Pagar where you can get coffee that will help you to stay awake.

#4 ALCHEMIST – PACAMARA

Coffee brewing has been known to be a pretty exact science. From having the perfect brewing temperatures down to decimal placings, to using water with the right amount of total dissolved solids (TDS), it takes the best in the trade to produce that unforgettable cup of coffee.

As the name suggests, Alchemist seeks perfection with every fresh brew in a minimalistic, modern alcove in the midst of the busy working crowd.

An extension of the popular Pacamara Boutique Coffee Roasters along Upper Thomson Road, patrons can expect the same lab-esque approach to coffee making that uses the single blend of Arabica coffee sourced from Thailand that is roasted fresh daily.

Prices are justifiable for their range of quality drinks ranging from S$3 for an espresso to S$6.50 for an iced mocha. You definitely would not go wrong with perfectionists at work.

The baked goods are also worth a try. With several desserts like nutella chocolate tart, carrot cake, and salted caramel tart on rotation, you will be spoiled silly at Drury Lane.

Iced coffees and lattes are definitely the underrated drinks at restaurants and cafes. Most people lean towards hot lattes, just because it looks better in photos, or simply because they prefer their coffee warm. However, in our sweltering tropical climate, it is always good to grab an iced cuppa to rejuvenate yourselves.

We have to admit that while we drink iced coffees and lattes a lot, they have never really been our priority for photos. But now, we think it is time for these glorious drinks to step into the spotlight.

We picked out our favourite ones for this list of the Best Iced Coffees in Singapore - or what we’d affectionately call ‘kopi peng for the soul’.

#1 AND ALL THINGS DELICIOUS – ICED LATTE

Like most iced lattes in Singapore, this amazing cup of iced coffee is pretty underrated. This cup is a perfect match with the in-house desserts, especially our all-time favourite Sticky Date Pudding.

#2 BAKER & COOK – ICED LATTE

Baker & Cook at Chip Bee Gardens is a cosy and conducive space to relax with a book and a great cup of iced latte. Although many still lean towards their hot latte to pair up with their amazing desserts, we say have a go at their iced version and you might just be a convert!

#3 BRAWN & BRAINS – ICED LATTE

Brawn & Brains offers two types of coffee – a single origin and a blend called Pen & Pencil, which we prefer. The blend is nutty and slightly chocolate-y but extremely smooth and refreshing when served iced.

#4 DOLCETTO BY BASILLICO – ICED LATTE

Dolcetto at Regent Hotel has always been a well-known bakery and cafe offering daily fresh bakes and cakes. These go amazingly well with a cup of their iced coffee. You can also have it paired with one of their savoury selections, such as the Squid Ink Panini.

#5 D’GOOD CAFE – ICED LATTE

As you can see, sometimes the iced lattes can be overlooked in photos but what we can say for sure is that D’Good’s blend of coffee is nothing short of refined and delicious. They also have custom blends of coffee there, and the one made from washed Yirgacheffe beans is great served iced as you can taste the complex flavours.

#6 OLD HEN COFFEE BAR – COLD BREWED COFFEE

As one of the first cafes to offer cold-brewed coffee in modern glass bottles with a variation of types that ranges from milk coffee to a mocha blend, we love Old Hen Coffee Bar for their bold move.

#7 SARNIES

We were told that Sarnies also roasts their own beans in store and the result was a very smooth-tasting Iced Latte which we really enjoyed – especially after walking through the crazy humidity here in Singapore.

#8 SUN RAY CAFE – ICED LATTE

Roasting their own beans in store, you bet Sun Ray Cafe does a great iced latte. For just S$3.50, you probably can’t find a lower price in any other cafe, anywhere else. We could taste the smoothness and the nutty flavours of their beans in this refreshing cup.

#9 THE COFFEE ACADEMICS – ICED LATTE

We are so excited for The Coffee Academics full store to be opened in Singapore and before that happens, we will be religiously heading to the kiosk for a great iced latte, a house signature blend of coffee beans.

#10 TWENTY GRAMMES – ICED MELBOURNE COFFEE

This is an unusual one on this list but nevertheless, still a great variation. They put on a dollop of their bestselling sea salt caramel ice cream on top of their iced latte. This is a genius idea because sea salt caramel and coffee is a match made in heaven.

#11 URBAN FAIRWAYS – ICED MOCHA

We usually skip iced mochas, but after already having two cups of coffee that day, we decided to go for a milder version and picked the Iced Mocha at Urban Fairways instead. We were not disappointed. The rich chocolate instead really brought out the taste of the coffee, without overshadowing it.
