Come October 1st, it’ll be International Coffee Day, the day where all coffee aficionados unite in celebrating the gorgeous creation that is coffee! We commemorate this day in honour of all the hard work that has been put in to produce every cuppa – from the farms to your local coffeehouse, and into your hands.
This year, as a tribute to all the men & women in the coffee chain, we have gathered a list of the most uniquely flavoured coffees in Singapore, and where you can find them! Don’t forget to share this article with your coffee-lovin’ friend or S/O, and make a date to have a sip!
1. Oriole Coffee + Bar
Situated in front of the bustling town crowd near Somerset, Oriole Coffee serves up a mean cup of coffee, especially when it comes to their robust hand-pours such as the Taisho White. The Taisho range is served in cute glass bottles and features their famous cold brew made using coffee beans that have been roasted locally.
The Taisho White is a cold brew that has been enriched with a shot of Oriole’s specialty M.A.D milk made using macadamias, almonds, and dates. The end result? A brew that’s crisp and creamy, with a light hint of sweetness sans dairy – suitable for our lactose intolerant and vegan friends!
Find it at 96 Somerset Road, #01-01, Pan Pacific Serviced Suites, Singapore 238163
2. The Coffee Academics
Sip on a spicy cup of latte with The Coffee Academics Pepper Agave, a latte made with natural raw agave nectar from Mexico and ground black pepper. It’s smooth, robust and creamy with sweet and spicy notes that’ll excite your taste buds. Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it!
If you’re a fan of more local flavours, then check out Jawa, a Latte Macchiato infused with Gula Jawa from Indonesia, with hints of coconut and pandan.

4. Mellower Coffee
Cr: Mellower Coffee
Fancy a cup of cotton candy coffee? The Sweet Little Rain Coffee at Mellower Coffee features a ball of cotton candy placed strategically above a cup of hot Americano. The concept is that the steam from the coffee will melt the cotton candy, allowing the molten confectionery to drip into your Americano and sweeten it.
For those who love their booze and brew, Mellower also has a range of alcoholic coffees such as Guinnespresso (Whiskey with Espresso) and Gordon GF’s Temptation, featuring Gordon Gin with Ice Drip Yirgacheffe, a type of Ethiopian coffee.
Find it at 108 Middle Road #01-01, The Prospex, Singapore 188967
