Stylo Singapore Coffee Cafes To Get Your Caffeine Fix

Getting your coffee to-go is all about loading up on good energy to power you through your day. But there is something heartwarming about chilling out in a café with good friends and sipping your brew languorously. These relative newcomers to Singapore’s café cabal offer well-made drinks and atmospheric spaces to linger in.

Coexist Coffee Co.

As far as Singapore is concerned, industrial buildings are the perfect hideaways for some of the city’s best coffee shops. The latest is this stylish gem squirrelled away on the rooftop of Hillview Building in Bukit Batok. Beautifully sun-drenched and split boldly in red and white, Coexist Coffee Co also comes with a rooftop patio where you can soak up the sun (and humidity) if that’s your, well… cup of tea.

Speaking of, you’ll find both coffee and tea – or a mixture of each – on the drink menu. That means things like espresso-based mocha, hojicha hit with a double-shot espresso, piccolo and matcha. Food-wise, expect brunch classics given an Asian twist. Think chilli crab shakshuka, fish and chips with sambal mayo, and smoked duck bao.

Little Rogue Coffee

The pretty, sunny spot in Tanjong Katong has all the Melbournian vibes and some excellent food. Chef-owner Aaron Leow dishes out quality fare in the form of soft scrambled eggs with truffle cream and ikura, miso roasted cauliflower steaks and ricotta cheese hotcakes.

Made with Proud Mary beans from Melbourne (by way of Singapore roaster Ballad of Anna May), the brews here are beautifully balanced and come in all the requisite forms i.e. latte, mocha, long black, cappuccino… you get the picture.

Parched

From behind its deep white bar, baristas dole out pocket-friendly coffee made from beans roasted in-house. When you order an espresso-based drink, you get to choose between single-origin Ethiopia beans or a blend of beans from Peru and Honduras. These can be enjoyed as pourover coffee or espresso-based drinks, most of which exude a pleasantly gentle acidity.

There are plenty of tea options like hot or iced matcha lattes and green or red teas too. The seating area is miniscule, so expect to wait if you want to perch yourselves by the bar.

SYIP

This gorgeous, minimalist space sits just a five-minute walk from Farrer Park MRT Station and serves classic Singapore-style café food like ikura kombu capellini and mentaiko chicken rice bowls. The desserts are equally alluring – think berries on toast and Kahlua tiramisu.

The signature iced lattes – soothing salves on sweltering days – come in flavours like iced strawberry, ice matcha yuzu and iced chocolate. Bonus: these pretty drinks are great for 'gramming.
