Unique vending machines in Singapore
Freshly brewed kopi, Mao Shan Wang durian, and shio pan—these are just some of the latest items you can get with the press of a button. We’ve done the legwork and compiled a list of new and unique food vending machines that have quietly popped up across Singapore, dispensing everything from whole cakes to ramyeon.Â
1. What the CupÂ
What the Cup stands out with their impressive menu, where you’ll find more than 300 different drinks to choose from. The best part? Their beverages are affordably priced from just $1.50. Their touchscreen interface lets you customise your drink to your liking, before you make payment and the machine gets to work. You’ll find concoctions including  Thai Tea Cafe Latte (from $3), which combines fragrant Thai milk tea with coffee, Strawmilk Smoothie ($3.50), a riff on the classic strawberry smoothie, and Oreo Smoothie Volcano ($6): Oreo, ice, and milk.

The touchscreen system lets you choose from three hot coffee options: Kopi-O ($1.10), Kopi ($1.30), and Kopi-C ($1.30). Just like at any kopitiam, you can customise your sweetness level. What’s more, each cup of coffee is made in just 45 seconds, so you can grab your caffeine fix in a jiffy!

3.  Uncle Lee’s Confectionery
You can now get freshly baked, six-inch whole cakes at Uncle Lee Confectionery‘s vending machines, located at Woodleigh Village Hawker Centre and Suntec City! Choose from four flavours, including their signature Kaya ($22.10) and Peanut Butter Sponge Cake ($15.80). The cakes are baked fresh in the morning and delivered to the vending machine at 11am. When we were there, they were sold out within an hour, so we suggest you visit when they’re restocked at 5pm each day.

4. Butter Town Shio Pan ATM
Located beside Uncle Lee’s vending machine at Woodleigh is Butter Town‘s Shio Pan ATM. Here you can get legit Japanese salt bread dispensed in packets of three! The buns are baked and delivered to the vending machine at 11am and 3:30pm every day, with unsold items cleared by 8pm, so you’re getting them fresh. The Original Shio Pan ($7.20 for three) is a signature here; made with premium Japanese bread flour, the bun boasts a slightly crunchy and salty exterior that gives way to a soft and chewy middle.
FYI: Butter Town has another shio pan vending machine at Hillion Mall; the breads are restocked at 5pm daily.
