Raison d'Etre

The Coffee Concierge was born when a group of friends came together and united by a common love (or shall we say obsessive passion) for coffee decided that we should try and figure out a list of decent coffee houses in Singapore. Our taste in coffee does range a bit from the die hard local kopi fans to the posh pure coffee served in the fancier cafes and restaurants. We have a lot to learn and this is a blog of our learning journey into coffee.

We will be covering either neighbourhood kopitiams or fancy upstarts that have emerged on Singapore's scene since the 1990s, or restaurants. And to those of you who are curious, Coffee Club's outlet in Holland Village rather than the inevitable Starbucks invasion marked the first western style coffeeshop in Singapore. At any rate, we'll do the detailed history lesson another time.

Suffice it to say, this is a blog meant to share our collective experiences in exploring the coffee scene in Singapore. May you find it useful and hopefully a little entertaining as well. Do feel free to leave comments and suggestions particularly for cafes/kopi tiams to visit.
