Hands down probably the best coffee habit I picked up during my stay here in the Orchard district. I would start and end my day with a hand-pour drip coffee here at the Alchemist. Its a modern minimalist store with open ventilation and no AC. Benches and few round tables are all there is. No sockets, table barely fits a laptop so it purely a place for having your coffee and just relax for a bit. Counter order and self-service with CLAYGO system. Long line in the morning so I guess this is a popular place for your caffeine fix for the day.

A nice place to enjoy a V60 pour-over coffee. The coffee was prepared very well, clean and balanced. The interior design is pleasant and thoughtfully done, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. There is a choice of 4–5 different coffee beans, each with a distinct flavor profile, which is a big plus. Overall, a good spot for quality coffee and I would definitely recommend it.

I ordered "Latte Large, having here". Somehow I ended up with Latte Iced. Maybe my spoken English was bad due to a blocked nose. But iced Latte S$7 tasted nice. Nice place to pass some time in the morning after my medical.

Very cool, Instagramy coffee shop. The menu is simple, but has very good coffee. There is seating in the open air restaurant, mostly benches and stools with little tables. Only complaint, wasn't very busy and coffee took a long time...but not terrible. I would definitely go back.

Loved the place, it has a nice ambiance and makes a great spot for catching up with friends. The pastries were delicious, and my iced Americano had a subtle sour note that added a bit of character. Overall, a wonderful cafe good coffee and pastries

10/10 one of the best coffee in Orchard area. I also love the easygoing Japanese garden vibe that allows for that balmy breeze to flow. It’s the perfect spot for quick respite after your shopping, and need a quiet space for caffeine boost. I am loving the Dark Matter in house roast, very balanced, chocolatey flavor and aroma. It’s quite subtle, and soft and I had it as black coffee. My friend had the piccolo (and she enjoyed it though I think the roast could easily get lost with all the milk). 10/10 coffee 10/10 vibe, aesthetic 10/10 service (at 9am, could be dicey at peak maybe) Will come back. Glad to find a good cup in Orchard givens there’s only a few of them (more chains than speciality coffee this side of town).

Afternoon wander in search of my final cuppa of the day and behold, I struck caffeine gold! Stumbled into this tiny café with minimalist vibes so cool I almost felt underdressed. It was crowded but still a blissfully enjoyable. Staff are friendly and professional. For professional baristas and great coffee you can go past Alchemist. The pastries too are awesome! Well done now my fave place for coffee in SG!

My spouse and I were just walking by when we got a craving for coffee. I'll be honest with you, there's nothing but coffee here. The assortment of appetizers and desserts is very sad. There are no chairs or tables to sit and talk with friends either. The place is located at the crossroads, has no walls and air conditioning, because of which it is very noisy and smells of exhaust fumes. So we took coffee, something from pastries and went home. I do not recommend visiting this place. P.S.How do you feel about waiting 30 minutes for your takeaway coffee?😡

It's semi outdoor cafe at Orchard street. The ice coffee late is really refreshing for Singapore heat. Good place for resting your feet after long day shopping.

Mistaken this for Tsui Wah because of the signboard above it😂 Anyway, I had an ice chocolate and it was alright. The seating is interesting - kind of opened-space and with low benches. Good for individuals who wanted a short break. Not for long chats/rest without back support 😊
