Probably the best coffee i ever experienced in Singapore, while most of the coffee shops offering fruity and floral coffee which is boring to be honest they all taste the same door to door, but this place called upshot coffee offered two types of coffee profiles , chocolate almond and nutty taste (house-blend) or fruity floral taste (single origin), i love their house blend , though it is said a hidden gem in raffles place, they always packed with customers, though i have to queue but it’s definitely worth it! Not to mention friendly staffs you can’t get anywhere in Singapore

For me Upshot coffee is the best specialty coffee spot in Singapore. Located in the Raffles Place Centre on floor 4. I tried most of their coffees and love them! Rich in flavour, nice and balanced, good body. Some of them fairly fruity with a good acidity. Well trained employees/Baristas! I would love to buy their coffee on a regular basis - sadly they are not shipping to Europe. Anyways - this is a perfect spot for coffee enthusiasts!

Really popular coffee spot for the office crowd, I arrived around 1230pm and the place was already full house but thankfully the crowd does move and we managed to get seats quite quickly. By the time it was 1pm the queue got rather long and many people were standing around waiting for seats or their orders. Drinks wise I enjoyed the matcha and it was reasonably priced for a regular hot matcha $6.50.
