Raffles Place was Commercial Square until 8 March 1858, and reclamation from 1858 to 1864 formed Collyer Quay between Johnston's Pier and Telok Ayer Market.7 The bay to the east came later: reclamation finished in 1992 with about 360 hectares of waterfront, and the Marina Barrage turned the basin into a freshwater reservoir in 2008.8
Coffee here keeps office hours. Double Shot Coffee Shenton and Mellower Expresso both run Monday to Friday only and close by 17:00, so weekend coffee takes a walk. The exceptions are the bars and restaurants along the quays and the cafés around the bay's attractions.
Local tip: Weekend coffee in the CBD takes planning: Sojourner Coffee on Robinson Road is open only until 13:30 on Saturdays, so head for Fangko Coffee & Beer on Hong Kong Street, which opens at 07:00 at weekends too.

Robinson Road and Asia Square: the morning counters
Sojourner was unveiled in the CBD on 13 June 2024 by Ron Choo, chief executive of Huggs Coffee, with Clarissa Choo and Ayden Ong.1 It bills itself as a "5th wave" shop, with an integrated Modbar espresso machine and a separate Modbar pour-over system for single-origin filter and cold brew.1
Kyo Kohee, which says it started from a tiny kitchen, sells coffee, matcha and breakfast at 112 Robinson Road and Asia Square Tower 1.2 Both open at 08:00 on weekdays and close at 17:00, and only Robinson Road also opens on Saturdays.2
Shenton Way, Anson Road and Maxwell Road
Kohi Roastery & Coffee Bar, in the UIC Building on Shenton Way, sells beans roasted separately for espresso, filter or omni brewing.3 10 Anson Road alone holds Caligraph Coffee, Local Coffee People and Trung Nguyen Coffee.
For cheap kopi, go to Ah Seng Hai Nam Coffee at Amoy Street Food Centre, 7 Maxwell Road. In October 2025 its kopi-O (black with sugar) was S$1, its kopi S$1.20 and its kopi-C siew dai (evaporated milk, less sugar) S$1.30.5 Mad Roaster, at the specialty end, shares the address.
South Bridge Road: a kissa near the river
Dawn, at 78 South Bridge Road, calls itself a kissa, the Japanese term for an old-style coffee house, and says it was born of a love of sugar and caffeine.4 Its site promises a home-like room open to anyone who comes through the door, weekdays 08:00–17:00 and Saturdays and public holidays 09:00–17:00.4
North Canal Road and Hong Kong Street are a short walk away. Fangko Coffee & Beer opens at 07:00 every day, and Punch follows at 08:00.
Collyer Quay and the bay
Caffe Fernet is less a coffee stop than an Italian restaurant from the Jigger & Pony Group, at Customs House on Collyer Quay, with weekday lunches, early-evening aperitivo and a Negroni list.6 Exit J of Raffles Place station is the closest way in.6 It stays open until 02:00 on Fridays and Saturdays.
Across the water, cafés follow the sights: SweetSpot in the ArtScience Museum lobby, Ralph's at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands and Cafe Aster inside Gardens by the Bay, a 101-hectare site split into three gardens.8 Three Hands Coffee is on the ground floor of The Sail.
