Apartment Coffee
A minimalist specialty coffee sanctuary in the heart of Selegie
Apartment Coffee is a specialty coffee studio and roastery at 139 Selegie Road. Its own site says the coffee studio and roastery was founded in 2018, and the business focuses on sourcing coffees for quality and roasting them to bring out each coffee's terroir characteristics. Beyond serving coffee at its Selegie space, Apartment sells beans online, publishes coffee stories and brewing guides, and runs a monthly subscription with limited releases such as Gesha Village and auction lots. Its website also lists competition and industry achievements, including Singapore Brewers Cup results and Singapore Roaster Forum wins. The profile is very coffee-led rather than a broad brunch cafe, making it a fit for readers looking for carefully sourced, lighter-touch specialty coffee in a quiet city-fringe setting.
Apartment Coffee stands as a testament to Singapore's evolving coffee culture. This pristine, all-white space with thoughtful touches of greenery and warm oak furniture creates an atmosphere that's both sophisticated and welcoming. Their dedication to the craft of coffee-making is evident in every meticulously prepared cup, making it a haven for serious coffee enthusiasts and casual visitors alike.
Selected for their unwavering commitment to coffee excellence and unique aesthetic approach.
