Shop Reviews

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 😊

The atmosphere is really nice and relaxed, even though it’s on a busy street. I tried it twice (flat white and filter coffee) and was a bit disappointed, as I ordered a fruity roast both times but couldn’t really taste the fruitiness.

As always, i will try to do my review as fair as i could. FOOD/DRINKS (4/5) I love on how they provide us with a plenty of beans selection, if you are a pour over lover. I ordered pour over manual brew on my visit. Unfortunately, they serve the coffee with a paper cup, which ruined the taste of the coffee itself. It would've been better if they also serve it with a ceramic cup for a dine-in guests. Other than coffee, they only serve you with pastries and no main course. But the pastries are really good in my opinion SERVICE (4/5) The staffs are doing their job really good, with no hassle. They really know on how to brew their coffee beans. But again, it would've been better if they can serve it with ceramic cup for a dine-in guests ATMOSPHERE (4/5) Since it is located really close to a busy orchard road, so it is a little bit noisy, but still in a moderate level where you can still talk comfortably. Seatings are also plenty, but sadly there's no seating that can support your back/lumbar.

ALCHEMIST stands out with its minimal yet thoughtful design that seamlessly blends into the vibrant street life around it. It’s the kind of place that invites you to pause, take a breath, and enjoy a truly good cup of coffee. The atmosphere is incredibly comfortable, open, airy, and perfectly integrated with the rhythm of the street, making you feel like you’re part of the city’s pulse rather than removed from it. The coffee itself was excellent, rich, well balanced, and crafted with care. The staff were warm, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what they do, which added to the overall experience. Whether you’re passing by or planning a longer break, this spot is an ideal escape in the middle of the buzz.

I had a great experience! The V60 coffee was perfectly brewed, and the staff were so kind and welcoming. Thank you for the wonderful service.

Visited new outlet in OG Singapore. It's a very posh counter & attendant was very helpful in giving details about all the products. Love the range of products from the cleanser to the serum. My personal favourite is their amazing Eye cream. It's difficult to find that one eye cream that targets the most common concerns such as dark under eyes, dryness, and puffiness. Well, this eye cream addresses exactly all that and more. It's texture is light & I works great for me in the day as well. Would recommend it to all the ladies.
