Toast Box's Takashimaya outlet represents the third installation in the brand's innovative concept store series, transforming traditional kopitiam culture into an Instagram-worthy nostalgia trip. Located at basement level #B2-30 of Ngee Ann City, this outlet opens early at 7:30am and serves until 9:30pm daily, catering to breakfast crowds and afternoon shoppers alike.
Stepping into this retro-themed space feels like entering a 1950s-era coffeehouse, with bright turquoise paint adorning the walls and mismatched wooden furniture creating an authentic old-school atmosphere. Vintage photographs and Toast Box memorabilia spanning three decades transport diners to Singapore's golden age of neighbourhood kopitiams.
Beyond the charming aesthetics, the Takashimaya outlet offers exclusive menu items unavailable at standard Toast Box locations. The Coffee Trio ($5.50) serves as an educational experience, presenting three small cups of kopi, kopi-C, and kopi-O for comparison. Similarly, the Toast Experience Set ($4.50) allows diners to sample toast paired with Nyonya Kaya, Hainanese Kaya, and Crunchy Peanut Butter, highlighting regional variations of this beloved spread.
Contemporary fusion items like Mentaiko Egg Sando, Bak Chor Ramen, and Char Siew Ramen demonstrate how Toast Box bridges heritage and innovation. These outlet-exclusive dishes appeal to younger generations while maintaining the comforting essence of Nanyang coffee culture that has made Toast Box a household name across Singapore.

The exterior of Toast Box Takashimaya, featuring seating, a counter, and promotional signage.
Absolute disaster. App doesn’t work, can’t even top up, yet you still have the cheek to push sign-ups. Orders stuck on “in preparation” even when ready — how are customers supposed to know? Clueless systems, lousy service.

We dine in and ordered one medium and one large honey lemon. They gave us our large using this takeaway cup due to no large ceramic cup, medium is as per photo. We suspect the size to be almost same as medium size, we did a test, ended up true, we pour the large cup content to the medium size ceramic cup and ended up no extra drink just one piece extra lemon only.

Its a retro style eatery with a counter order self-service system. The old school nostalgia decor seems a bit out of place in this modern mall but it does have its charm. Was dining an hour before closing so admittedly the menu will be limited. Prep time was fast and our order came out in less than 10 mins. Having tried TB Laksa noodles back at home in our country. Honestly I wasn't expecting much but it turned out to be a really good meal. The laksa broth itself is rich, spicy and not too thick or watery. It smells good and I really did enjoyed the meal.

Our go to fuss free coffee spot, made “free” with Yuu points.
This is definitely a more uniquely decorated Toast Box with some classic theme to it, there’s even an old payphone to the side of the shop!
It does sport a long queue as each table has multiple drinks to go with, hence the longer turnaround time.

Not too crowded on a weekday afternoon. There were a few empty tables so easy yo get a seat. Order via QRcode was convenient though the food took a while to be ready.
Eggs are nicely done. Mee Siam is nice but not great or cheap.
Decor is very retro and nostalgic. Overall a pleasant experience.

No frill coffee egg and toast. Kopi C stable as usual. No complaints. Cozy old school environment back in the olden days and nolstagic background music. One of the better concept outlet of Toast Box. This shop is also cleaner than the other outlets.

Recently opened new outlet at Takashimaya shopping centre B2 level. Their menu here got more varieties compared with their other outlets. I tried their ala carte Mentaiko Egg Sando, ordered Kopi Peng Siew Dai, and Kopi O Siew Dai.
Mentaiko Egg Sando was okay, egg was fluffy but the mentaiko sauce was so light, couldn’t bearly taste the mentaiko, also the bread portion is quite small. Kopi was okay.
Price wise is a bit pricey for the portion given.
The atmosphere is nice and vintage vibe, it’s just the seating table arrangement is too close to each other, quite difficult to walk over while holding tray with food and drinks.
