Coffee Break at Amoy Street 咖啡快座
Tucked away on the upper level of Amoy Street Food Centre, Coffee Break 咖啡快座 is no ordinary hawker stall. Run by three siblings—Faye, Anna, and Jack Sai—this stall continues a legacy that started back in 1935 under the name San Hai Yuan. Now in its third generation, Coffee Break has taken the humble kopitiam beverage and given it a bold, modern spin. Their goal? To bring together the old-school charm of traditional kopi with creative, café-style twists that appeal to both nostalgic locals and adventurous new coffee lovers.
Menu Highlights
At Coffee Break, expect a menu that’s both comforting and refreshing. They offer a clever mix of classic hot beverages and flavored lattes, along with toast options that go beyond the standard kaya-and-butter combo.
Beverages
- Traditional Kopi & Teh: Brewed the old-fashioned way with a cloth “sock” filter, you’ll find familiar favorites like Kopi, Kopi-O, Kopi-C, and Teh variants. You can also adjust how sweet or strong you’d like your cup—just like at your neighborhood coffee shop.
- Creative Lattes: Their modern drink range includes unique choices like Black Sesame Latte, Butter Pecan, Taro Milk, Hazelnut, and Hojicha Latte—flavored coffees that blend traditional brewing with unexpected ingredients.
- Chilled Specialties: Looking for something different? Try their Iced Kopi-C Kosong with Cream Mousse or the refreshing Mango Milk Teh Peng with Yoghurt Mousse—perfect for Singapore’s heat.
Toasts
- Black Sesame Butter Toast: A crunchy slice of wholemeal toast slathered with rich black sesame paste and butter. It’s nutty, slightly sweet, and very satisfying.
- Earl Grey Crème Toast: A floral twist featuring Earl Grey-infused cream for those who prefer a more delicate flavor.
- Other Toast Flavors: Options like Matcha Coconut, Taro, and Key Lime give their toast menu a fun and unexpected twist—ideal for those craving something different with their morning brew.
Most items are budget-friendly, with drinks starting from around S$1.60 and gourmet lattes and toasts ranging between S$3.00 to S$4.00.
