Discover the best Coffee in Orchard with our full-bodied guide
Orchard is the go-to spot for many of us when we’re craving a good cup of joe or just want to catch up with pals over a fresh brew. The vibe at Orchard adds to the magic/ The perfect blend of great coffee and chill vibes makes us come back for more.
Whether you’re after a caffeine kick or just craving a cosy hangout spot, let me spill the beans on where to score the absolute best coffee in Orchard.
Bacha Coffee
Address: Floor 1, 2 Orchard Turn #01-15/16 ION Orchard Mall, Singapore 238801 (Google Maps)
Contact: +6563631910
Hours: Daily, 9:30 AM–10 PM
Price: $$
Bacha Coffee has over 200 different coffee drinks, all made with top-notch Arabica beans sourced from 30 countries. The Maui Sun coffee we tried was delicious and perfectly balanced, with no need for milk.
But fair warning, with so many coffee options, it’s easy to get decision paralysis. So if you’re in a hurry, maybe save this spot for another day when you can really savour the experience.
The ambience is so inviting and lively, it’s like being in a cool Moroccan restaurant. The decor is just stunning, and the aroma of coffee hits you the moment you walk in.
Pro-tip: Don’t worry if you’re not sure what to order. Just chat up the crew. They’re super friendly and know their stuff
Equate Coffee
Address: Floor 1 Orchardgateway, 181 Orchard Rd, #01-17A Orchard Central Singapore 238896 (Google Maps)

Hours: Daily, 9 AM–10 PM
Price: $$
At Equate Coffee, you won’t just be sipping coffee but drinking in some unusual installation art, as well. Imagine uprooted trees creating a unique contrast against the sleek surroundings with dramatic, almost theatrical lighting.
The coffee here is quite interesting, too. The cafe sources beans from Brazil and Sumatra.
The beans then go into a roastery in Malaysia to create a one-of-a-kind house blend called Solid Gold.
The result is a drinks menu packed with goodies, from single-origin filter coffee to refreshing iced chocolate and tea.
Pro-tip: Order a pain au chocolat with your coffee if you have a serious sweet tooth.
Wild Honey
Address: Floor 3 Mandarin Gallery, 333A Orchard Rd, #03 – 01 / 02, Singapore 238897 (Google Maps)
Contact: +6562353900
Hours: Sunday to Monday, 9 AM–9.30 PM; Tuesday to Saturday, 9 AM–10.30 PM
Price: $$$
Wild Honey has a killer custom coffee blend from Common Man Coffee Roasters that’s just out of this world. Try it straight up first to savour those perfect flavours without adding milk or sugar.
The vibe is modern casual industrial, which suits my un-caffeinated morning mood just fine. The place is admittedly pricey, but if you’re going to try one thing, make it The Tahitian: coconut pancakes with creamy coconut, fresh mango, maple syrup, and passion fruit sauce.
Pro-tip: Wild Honey doesn’t take reservations by email, except for big events and large parties.
The Assembly Ground
Address: Floor 1 Cineleisure, 8 Grange Rd, #01-01, Singapore 239695 (Google Maps)
Contact: +6567322123
Hours: Mondays and Thursdays, 11.30 AM–9 PM; Tuesdays and Fridays, 11.30 AM–10 PM; Wednesdays and Sundays, 11 AM–9 PM; Saturdays, 11 AM–10 PM
Price: $$
One of the first things I noticed about The Assembly Ground is its rustic-meets-industrial vibe, thanks to wooden tables, funky bicycles on the walls, and pipes running along the ceiling.
Now, let’s talk coffee. The shop serves up brews from Common Man Coffee Roasters and Nylon Coffee.
Plus, the servers will actually match your coffee with your food to take your taste buds on a flavour journey.
And its menu is seriously epic. It’s got everything from breakfast classics to hearty soups, fresh salads, pizzas, and pasta dishes.
Pro-tip: Check out its Cold Brew Bundle promo: Get any 4 bottles of cold brew coffee for just S$28.
Kith Cafe
Address: 11 Cairnhill Rd, Singapore 229724 (Google Maps)
Contact: +6567348640
Hours: Daily, 6.30 AM–10 PM
Price: $$
Kith Cafe’s baristas can work their magic with a special blend of beans sourced from top-notch coffee regions. I like relaxing on one of the cafe’s comfy modular blocks and enjoying a leisurely sip while plotting my next shopping spree.
There’s a good selection of easy bites like sandwiches, pastries, and pizzas. But if you’re there bright and early, try the Kith Breakfast with its generous portion and fluffy scrambled eggs.
Pro-tip: The barista is known for remembering repeat customers’ orders, so try to frequent Kith Cafe as much as possible.
Oriole Cafe & Bar
Address: Floor 1 Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Orchard, 96 Somerset Rd, #01-01, Singapore 238163 (Google Maps)
Contact: +6592481972
Hours: Monday to Friday, 11 AM–11.30 PM; Saturdays, 10 AM–11.30 PM; Sundays, 10 AM–9.30 PM
Price: $$
We especially like Oriole Cafe & Bar during the mid-day. We like cosying up in the leather booths for a laid-back lunch, with the irresistible scent of freshly roasted coffee filling the air.
The baristas can brew a mean cup using only the best sustainably sourced Arabica beans.
Oh, and don’t miss out on the cold brew. It’s creamy and rich, even though it’s lactose-free.
Pro-tip: If you have work to catch up on, they have Wi-Fi too.
Tiong Bahru Bakery
Address: Floor 1 TANGS, 310 Orchard Rd, #01-16B Tang Plaza, Singapore 238864 (Google Maps)
Contact: +6567353787
Hours: Daily, 7.30 AM–8.30 PM
Price: $$
When you’re on a marathon shopping spree and need a sweet fix, head over to Tiong Bahru Bakery at TANGS. Its 40 Hands coffee is the perfect pick-me-up should you find your shopaholic spirit lagging.
And if you’re wondering what to munch on, the kouign-amann is always a crowd-pleaser with its buttery, flakey layers. That, or any of its croissants, can level up your coffee experience.
Pro-tip: It can get crowded since it’s in a retail area, so try to drop by outside shopping mall hours (usually 10 AM to 9 PM).
The Community Coffee
Address: Floor 2, 14 Scotts Road #02-94 Far East Plaza, Singapore 228213 (Google Maps)
Contact: [email protected]
Hours: Daily, 9.30 AM–6.30 PM
Price: $
Nestled away from Orchard Road’s hustle, The Community Coffee quietly serves up top-notch drip and espresso brews—a serene escape from the shopping frenzy.
The shop sources beans from small, sustainable farms in Brazil, Colombia, Ethiopia, and Peru.
I recently tried the decaf flat white, which was a delightful surprise. The first whiff teased a hint of citric sweetness, and the taste delivered with plenty of coffee goodness.
Pro-tip: The place also has some cute merchandise for sale like tumblers.
Puzzle Coffee
Address: Floor 1, 2 Orchard Turn, B1-38/39 ION Orchard, Singapore 238801 (Google Maps)
Contact: [email protected]
Hours: Daily, 9 AM–8 PM
Price: $$
Puzzle Coffee is a Melbourne-born coffee spot located in the basement of ION Orchard. It’s pretty small and seats just around 20 people.
The brews aim for quality and sustainability here, sourcing ethically traded coffee directly from farmers.
You can try bestsellers like Biscoff latte and the unique black sesame Latte. A personal fave is the sweet potato latte which I learned was exclusive to the Singapore branch.
Pro-tip: For just a S$3 top-up, you can do your bit for the planet and snack at the same time with the cafe’s edible cups made from oats and grains.
Piccolo by Hei Kim
Address: Floor 3 Far East Plaza, 14 Scotts Rd, #03 22, Singapore 228213 (Google Maps)
Contact: [email protected]
Hours: Tuesday to Friday, 8.30 AM–5 PM; Saturday to Sunday, 9 AM–5 PM
Price: $$
Piccolo by Hei Kim is a must-visit coffee spot with its cool concrete and vintage vibe. It offers classic black and white espresso-based drinks, but also unique creations like the indulgent iced black sesame latte and the Instagram-worthy iced strawberry latte.
Tempting homemade bakes are proudly displayed on the bar counter. We always get the black sesame matcha cake because it pairs well with espresso.
Pro-tip: If you’re up for trying the house blend, it’s a mix of Sumatran and Brazilian beans, giving it a slightly acidic and chocolatey flavour profile.
