A bit of confusion, orchard gateway is too close to Orchard central and somerset 313.

best places to go at night and more bar and beer and best places. esquinta by konyo is best filipino food and good services.

Orchardgateway is one of the many shopping malls on Orchard Road. The shopping mall was bustling when we were there on the weekend. All the restaurants and shops have many customers. Some have a line waiting at the front. However, the restrooms are still very clean even though many people use them in the shopping mall.

Located along the long 🛣️ walking 🚶‍♀️🚶🚶‍♂️stretch of 313 Somerset 🏬, it’s almost in a perfect location to catch a coffee ☕️ break from all the shopping 🛍️. It was a lazy afternoon and it took me a 2️⃣ passes before I decided to queue for it, cause there is always a queue! (And a long one) Café : You start queuing from the right ➡️ hand side, past the roasting 🫘room and eventually reach the cashier 👨‍💻 to place your order. There are limited pastries 🥧🍰🥐on sale and the primary focus is on their coffee ☕️ which uses 💯 Arabica Beans. The café itself has an outdoor seating 🪑area that fuses to the side 🏘️ walk of 313 Somerset and it is clean 🫧🧼, spacious and brightly 🌟 designed to allow lots of natural ☀️ light in. It bears an interesting design concept whereby the dining areas are cross facing, stool, bar, table, cozy corners all rolled into one. (You gotta check out my pics 📸 and videos 🎥!) It created a non-consistent functional design that doesn’t force the diners to face only in one direction. Sort of like control chaos, Love 🥰 It, it’s so cool! 😎 Staff : One single staff 💁‍♂️member took my order 📝. Pretty straight forward ….. Coffee ☕️ + Size and pay 💳. He was friendly but didn’t recommend me anything else. Coffee : I ordered a Café Latte and it was a wicked cup 😃! If I’m not mistaken, they are using a Slayer coffee machine and it pulled a great 👍 shot of espresso! Its coffee ☕️was not overly hot 🌡️, aromatic and super rich. If I could get a table and have more space, I would have tried the pastry and an Americano. Oh well, next time then, I would really love ❤️ to sit down and soak it in. #reallnotbadleh

Good coffee. Coffee here is not sour type which everywhere in Singapore serving now. I like taste here more than other cafe. A bit noisy hence here is located inside of shopping mall but no complaints

Clean classy ambience with happening vibes. Nice place to hangout. Hot Matcha was flavourful and creamy.

The café latte is really nice, but the service could be improved. Waiting times are quite long even with many staff at the counter, and customers have to cap their own coffees. It would be great if these areas could be looked into, as it’s otherwise a lovely café.

Arabica 313 Somerset is a cozy and contemporary café offering a delightful coffee experience in the heart of Orchard Road. Known for its minimalist aesthetic and welcoming vibe, the café serves expertly brewed coffee, particularly showcasing the rich flavors of Arabica beans. The menu also features a variety of pastries and light bites that complement the drinks perfectly. The spacious seating and relaxed ambiance make it an ideal spot for catching up with friends, working, or simply unwinding. However, it can get quite busy during peak hours, so arriving early is recommended. Overall, it’s a great place for coffee enthusiasts and casual visitors alike.

Alright, folks, listen up! Donkey and I were meeting our friends at 313 Somerset for a birthday celebration, but we arrived a little early. We decided to grab some coffee at % Arabica, which we'd been wanting to try for a while. We've always loved the aroma of coffee wafting from the shop, and we were finally able to try their brews. The Good: • The Coffee: The coffee was truly amazing! It was more flavorful than any other coffee we've had in Singapore, and the aroma was just incredible. The coffee blew us away! It was definitely worth the price. • The Spanish Latte: I wanted something a little sweeter, so the barista recommended the Spanish Latte. We both ordered one, and at $9.60 per cup, it came out to $19.20 for both. We absolutely loved it! It was full of aroma and the sweetness was just right for me. • The Atmosphere: The atmosphere is fantastic. It's cozy and inviting, with a touch of futuristic decor. It was a great place to relax and chat while we waited for our friends. The Quirks: • Nothing really stood out as a “quirk” in this review. Donkey’s Note: The coffee was incredible! It was so flavorful and aromatic! My Note: I loved the Spanish Latte! It was so creamy and delicious! Rating: • Coffee: 5/5 (Exceptional and flavorful) • Service: 4/5 (Friendly and knowledgeable) • Atmosphere: 4.5/5 (Stylish and inviting) Overall: 5/5 Overall: We highly recommend % Arabica to anyone who loves coffee! You won't regret it.

Stopped by for a coffee & croissant. They have a brew taste of dark roast, rich and piping hot. I find this characteristic to be consistent across the few locations in Singapore. As the wait took a while, I asked if I could have a cup of water while waiting, and they were able to accommodate despite the busyness back there. Their service is friendly and energetic, which is wonderful. The croissant was okay, but I am unlikely to get that croissant for that price when I patronise %Arabica. It was big (which is good), but it was dry and slightly cold for me. Overall, it was nice to have a break there, people come and go after their coffee, and I had a good short break with a rich warm cup of coffee.
