How to Order Coffee in Singapore Like a Local

In Singapore, the locals like to have their breakfast at the neighbourhood coffee shops. Typically, on weekends, you will see groups of friends and families having breakfast over slices of bread with butter, half-boiled eggs, and a cup of coffee commonly known as kopi.

Coffee is a beverage that many in Singapore live on a daily basis especially in the morning for a much-needed caffeine boost throughout the working hours. You’ll usually see adults lining up at drink stalls waiting for their turn.

If it’s your first time at a local coffee shop in Singapore, you will learn that there are different ways of ordering coffee based on individual preferences.
