Best coffee cafes in Singapore


My friends often joke that my blood is made up of iced coffee. It’s true, I am a self-proclaimed coffee fanatic. If you are like me and subsist on a diet of caffeine, check out our list of 33 best coffee cafes in Singapore for good brew. Some of them serve food too, if you want bites to go along with your favourite coffee. Many of them also roast their own beans, so you can take home a bag or two to make your own coffee at home.

Psst: if you’re looking for caffeine-free alternatives, take a look at our list of tea houses in Singapore instead!


1. Common Man Coffee Roasters

Common Man Coffee Roasters is arguably one of the OG names in our local coffee scene. They’re a specialty roaster with a focus on sustainably sourced coffee, as well as a cafe and barista training academy. They first established as a cafe in 2013, and have since grown rapidly, with three own-brand cafes in Singapore, and their beans supplying many, many others. Head down to their flagship cafe along Martin Road, and grab yourself a cuppa from their extensive menu. An espresso starts at $6, but we highly recommend the Slow Brew ($8.50), a filter-brewed coffee prepared with single-origin beans. The selection varies regularly too.

Nylon Coffee Roasters is no stranger to Singapore’s coffee scene. Established in 2012, the hole-in-the-wall cafe prides itself on sourcing the best coffee beans. They have garnered a strong following, with long queues at any time of the day. Many ardent fans even look to this humble cafe as a spot to get some of the best coffee beans you can find in Singapore.

Nylon enthusiasts swear by the cafe’s White ($5) with Oat Milk ($1). Meanwhile, purists can opt for their filter coffees, with a range of blends to choose from. FYI, the coffees here are seasonal. At the moment, there’s the El Savador La Barrialera ($8), which has mandarin, white peach, jasmine, and wild honey.

4. Cafe Manna


best-coffee-singapore-cafe-manna

Cafe Manna is one of the latest additions to Mount Sophia, and what makes them special is that they are located within a building that used to be a chapel. You can expect beautiful stained glass and floor-to-ceiling windows with plenty of natural light here.

We recommend the crowd-favourite Bandung Rose Latte ($7.50+) for a gorgeous combination of bandung syrup, espresso, fresh milk, and a generous layer of rose-flavoured cream as the finishing touch. If you prefer something that packs a punch, there’s the Tiramisu Latte ($8.50+), comprising alcohol, espresso, and cocoa powder atop the mascarpone cream.

Avid cafe hoppers will know of the popular Acoustics Coffee Bar, with their first outlet located at Neil Road and another at Owen Road. Their menu sees a wide selection of drinks, ranging from hand brew coffee and tea-infused latte to kombucha and fruit-based tea.

During our visit, my colleague and I really enjoyed the Houjicha Cloud ($9+). This bittersweet drink features iced hojicha latte topped with a velvety smooth cream, and boasts just the right amount of roasted flavours. If you prefer a caffeine-free option, there’s the Lychee Nojito ($8+) that’s sweet and fruity all at once. Plus, it’s a great quencher to have on a sweltering day.

6. Nickel


best-coffee-singapore-nickel-cafe

ICYMI, the popular Lee’s Confectionery reopened as Nickel along Middle Road! This minimalist cafe has drinks and bakes at nett prices, and is within walking distance from Rochor MRT Station

We got a cup of their Dirty Matcha ($8) to try, made with espresso, matcha, and soy milk. FYI, there are dairy and oat milk options if soy isn’t your thing. They also have a lovely selection of artisanal brewed tea in four different flavours priced at $6 each. Out of the four, the Botanic Gardens brewed tea stood out to us as it’s made with a fragrant mix of green tea, white tea, rose petals, lemongrass, elderflower, and ginger.

7. A Slow Cup


best-coffee-singapore-a-slow-cup

Another cafe with nett prices is A Slow Cup. It’s not the easiest to spot this hidden cafe as they are located within a nail salon at Robertson Walk Shopping Centre.

We wanted to try something other than black and white coffee, so we decided on an Iced Chai Latte ($6) and Iced Mocha ($6.50). The former struck a good balance of spiced sweetness and creamy richness, while the latter was on the milky side. The cafe is cosy with limited seats, and is ideal for when you want to take a break from your fast-paced lifestyle.

Some noteworthy flavours include the Manuka Oat Latte (from $5.90), Hojicha Oat Latte (from $5.90), and Matcha Oat Latte (from $5.90). We recommend going for the Manuka Oat Latte to enjoy all three flavours in one sip: nutty oat milk and bittersweet notes of coffee and manuka honey.

Hailing from Hokkaido is Baristart Coffee, with an emphasis on white coffees using freshly imported Hokkaido BIEI Jersey Milk. Known for being extra creamy, this milk comes from Brown Jersey Cows that make up only 1% of Japan’s cow population. You can enjoy this with their Biei Jersey Milk Coffee ($8.50++), which sees a ristretto shot added to the pour.

Otherwise, get the Latte ($6.70++), which has a fragrance akin to freshly made caramel. The cafe is also known for its cream puff, with Biei custard encased in choux pastry, so be sure to order that to go with your coffee!

I was ecstatic when %Arabica first arrived on our shores with their flagship at Arab Street, having patronised the OG store in Kyoto before. Their prices are on the steeper end, but worth the splurge every once in a while.

You can choose their signature blend, or top up $1 for single-origin coffee. Sweet-toothed readers will surely enjoy the Spanish Latte (from $8.20), made with condensed milk. Meanwhile, if you’re here with a non-coffee drinking friend, the Matcha Latte (from $8.90) is a great beverage option.
