Come here only for the coffee! They have lots of bean variety! In most of coffee shop you can optimize the taste of manual brew in a hot drink, but here you can definetly enjoy the iced seasonal hand brew! So refreshing and you can taste the strong coffee kicks. The place is minimalist and small, so it's more suitable for a quick stop or meet up.

Visited for the first time and tried their cold brew. The staff were friendly, the atmosphere was perfect for chatting with friends, and the coffee was excellent — I had it at noon and was still wide awake at midnight. The banana bread looked great too but was too full, will come back to try.

The place is simple but serves real good coffee. The service staff is friendly and efficient. We enjoyed our flat white

Love it here.. the smell of coffee, echos of conversation because of the high ceiling and having a cup of coffee midday is truly relaxing. Price is affordable and I ordered a mocha single shot while I do my slides. Will I come back again? Only if I'm in the area and need a place to relax.

Simple, understated coffee bar in the Bugis, City Hall area. One man barista that offers nothing but coffee. Some tables and counter seats for those who wanted to slow down their steps a bit. Service recovery was excellent. The barista made the wrong coffee (orders ice black but served ice coffee) and he made a replacement foc and also asked us to keep the wrong coffee since it is more expensive. Both the latte and ice black was good. It perked us up and allowed us to have some conversations before we resumed the day.

Great coffee place if you are into light roasts, their homemade cakes are wonderful as well. It’s a great vibe along Purvis street to be seated outdoors.

I was on my way to lunch when I noticed the name 鸿安 and got curious, as I hadn’t seen this coffee shop name on Google Maps. I decided to try their cold brew—and it was absolutely delicious. Incredibly smooth, with low acidity and a fruity flavor profile. It’s much better than any franchise cold brew I’ve had in Singapore. (Apologies—I know it might be an insult to even compare good coffee to franchise ones!)
