Known forthird-wave coffeeheritage buildingPapa Palheta

Housed in a converted 1950s hardware shophouse, this is one of Singapore's most iconic specialty coffee destinations run by Papa Palheta. The space is stunning with an open courtyard and serious espresso bar, and the single-origin pour-overs are exceptional. It can get noisy and crowded, especially on weekends, and parking nearby is limited.
