Tiong Hoe Specialty Coffee

Tiong Hoe Specialty Coffee combines heritage, scale and specialty coffee education in a way few Singapore roasters can match. Its website lists roasted beans, capsules, workshops, raw beans, a coffee cart and wholesale services, with beans roasted in small batches twice a week. It has grown beyond its Stirling Road base into multiple outlets across areas such as Balmoral, Marine Parade, one-north, Raffles Place, Tanjong Pagar, VivoCity and Woodleigh. All outlets retail coffee beverages and roasted beans, making it one of the easiest quality roasters to buy from islandwide.

THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW

Tiong Hoe is the practical favourite for many local coffee drinkers because it balances quality with reach. The Stirling Road outlet has old-school charm, while newer kiosks and mall counters make beans and takeaway coffee much easier to access. The range is broad, from approachable daily brews to more interesting single origins, and the workshops help beginners get started. The honest trade-off is that the experience can vary by outlet format, especially between sit-down cafes and quick takeaway points.

WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG

It ranks highly for dependable roasting, strong accessibility, local heritage and a retail network that makes specialty beans easy to buy across Singapore.
