The cafe scene in Singapore has never been hotter, with another new coffee joint opening seemingly every day. Without a doubt, one of the highest profile has got to be Common Man Coffee Roasters at Martin Road. But there are plenty of others: CAD Cafe, espressoLAB, Department of Caffiene…
And the food at these java joints is no slouch too. Chef consultant Shen Tan (ex Wok and Barrel) consulted on the menu for new cafe Revolution Coffee at Portsdown. The place offers fresh grub like banana bread ($4.50), spaghetti al pomodoro ($8.50) and simple sarnies such as the roast beef sandwich ($11.90). Coffee-wise, they brew up java from Sydney roaster Reservoir Road.
