What Locals Say

We have made this a regular coffee stop when we are in Singapore. A very good selection of standard and specialty hot and cold drinks. My daughter is addicted to the drinking cups they sell (They always have some very nice ones) and we end up getting a new one each time we visit, because they change the selection often. They are better than Starbucks.

24 hours coffee on Orchard, 5 points for just that. Everything else is also great. I ordered the tuna spaghetti and ice blended mocha coffee. It was delicious. The staff is also great and keep telling you about new offers. They have a new breakfast set, which is usually some eggs, bread and a specific kind of coffee. I have added a picture of the set for reference. $8 for 1 and $12 for 2 sets. Well worth the money

Food and service is good. In the early mornings, the place is not crowded, which makes it a good place for a quiet breakfast. The weekend breakfast is rather pricey though, and the bread served is now a slice from a sandwich loaf. I prefer the bread they served previously.

I can tell u this coffeebean outlet didn't disappointed me.. The place is cozy, Singaporeans, plus the tourists come to this place to enjoy their drinks and cakes and etc.. But i hav to mention and praise their service.. .. As I observe the place getting crowded, the staffs works fast and take the customers orders in a positive way.. Never forget to give smile to the customers, and I can say that's very rare to see this nowadays.. This coffeebean place might be my new favorite to enjoy my drink. But this is my opinion, not sure about others that hav been to this place, Maybe different?? Who knows.. Why don't u come and give it a try?? The choice is yours

It has been a long time since I visited Coffee beans. Ordered their Strawberry Latte. Surprisingly it is very good. Very rich and creamy with strawberry flavored.

A nice cafe near to hard rock cafe. This cafe is at the entrance of orchard street. A posh cafe with drinks costing high and service lacking courtesy. The place is beautiful though, well lit and with good seating capacity. Capluchino and a croissant is what I had and both tasted well.

The outlet is a standard outlet offering standard menu of the coffee shop brand. The interior sitting is spacious and comfortable. It has ample outdoor sitting available. The only issue is that if you have food on your table, you need to tackle the fearless pigeons making visit to your table. You can’t sit in peace when outdoor with food.

My new favourite coffee place to visit when traveling internationally Stayed on Orchard Road for a week between Christmas and New Year and this was our go-to for consistently delicious coffee options (the Biscoff Salted Caramel was an elite choice!) and a quick and easy breakfast. Venue was always clean and tidy and staff were pleasant and efficient.
