Spring Coffee is a Chinatown cafe with nett prices

Strawberry matcha latte has been all the rage in recent months, and Spring Coffee is one cafe that understood the assignment real fast. Tucked away on the second floor of Hong Lim Complex in Chinatown, this minimalist cafe opened in January 2024, and offers bakes and drinks—strawberry matcha latte included—at nett prices.

Their signature strawberry matches drink was supposed to be a May special, but it has since become a permanent item on the menu thanks to the overwhelming support of their patrons. A beautiful glass of the Strawberry Matcha Latte is priced at $8.50, featuring a layer of their house-made strawberry puree, followed by strawberry milk, and finally, matcha.

Every cup is prepared fresh at the counter upon order! This drink leans milky and sweet rather than earthy and bitter, and a couple of online reviews have highlighted the generous portion of house-made strawberry puree included.

This drink is labelled Nutri-Grade C.

If you prefer your matcha as it is, opt for a vibrant cup of the Signature Spring Matcha ($7.50) instead. This one boasts a balance of bittersweet flavours, and the overall taste is described as slightly grassy with mildly astringent notes.

Drinks aside, there’s a display of bakes that changes day to day but their croissants seem to be a constant item on the menu. There are three flavours to choose from: Plain ($4), Kaya & Butter ($6), and Peanut Butter & Jam ($6).

Otherwise, their Banana Loaf ($6) and Kouign Amann ($5.50) are popular picks that are worth a try too.

For easy access, Spring Coffee is a quick three-minute walk from Exit F of Chinatown MRT Station.
