Where to Find The Best Specialty Coffee in Singapore
Singapore is not only a fun & vibrant city to visit; it is also a place where one can enjoy exceptional specialty coffee.
Here’s a list of places I’ve tried in Singapore (so far) that make some of the best specialty coffee I’ve had in this amazing city.
Quick links:
Nylon Coffee
Probably some of the best specialty coffee at Singapore you can taste at Nylon coffee roasters, which is located near China Town. They roast their own, single origin beans and take pride in visiting the coffee farms every year and building relationships with them.
Nylon Coffee always serve top-notch coffee and last time I was there they even gave me a recommendation on what to try, which was spot on too.

Common Man
Common Man is an excellent specialty coffee and brunch place and they have a few locations in Singapore. Their coffee is sourced keeping sustainability is mind, and they have both single origin and coffee blends that you can choose from.
It’s a popular place, so it can get pretty busy, especially in the weekends, so make sure to get there early to snag a good spot!
Locations: Martin Road, Stanley Street, Alexandra Road, Quayside Isle among others
Opening Times: Monday - Sunday from 7:30AM to 6PM
Homeground Coffee Roasters
Another favourite coffee place of mine located in China Town, is Homeground coffee. They serve superb specialty coffee as well as excellent breakfast & brunch. I also really love their interior design, which is kind of a minimalist style with a few wood tones, which I found very elegant.
If you do order breakfast, make sure you are really hungry because their dishes were really quite big 😅.
