    Coffee is really good here. They have quite a variety of coffee beans on sale. The ciabattas (both chicken and egg mayo) were also tasty and nicely toasted. Parking was not difficult to find, they have street and on-site parking.

    Good impression on my first visit. Liked their full bodied roast latte and the pancakes were well done. If you are in the area looking for a different coffee experience, this would be a good place to start.

    Have heard of Yahava for very long time but only got to visit them when I was in the area. I only had coffee although I wanted to grab some vegetarian options for myself but unfortunately there isn't any. But, their coffee was good! My flat white was very balanced chocolatey taste blended well with milk. It's a pity I had to rush off soon or it is a nice place to chill, or have meeting with clients in the industrial area. Big recommendation for sure!

    My favourite coffee place, now in a bigger newer space. Coffee is always reliable, and in my opinion one of the best brews in Singapore. Bought their beans home on a few occasions and really enjoyed them too. I frequently have cravings for their ciabatta sandwiches, so crispy and the chicken cheese mayo filling is my favourite. We’re quite excited that they’ve added pancakes to their menu, tried the original flavour for the first time and it was wonderful. The atmosphere is chill and a nice open concept, so not too noisy. They have an area for roasting at the back and ample seating. Parking along the roadside and within the building is easy, we always have no issues getting here and we come quite often.

    Nice hidden gem in an industrial area. Can get crowded on weekends. Very nice coffee and waffles. Some light desserts for those with a sweet tooth too. Have many different roasts with clearly defined flavours for your choice. Ample parking around the compound and nice friendly staff too. Overall a great cafe and coffee hangout place.

    Quiet place to have a coffee. But nothing very special. So it is a great place for people staying around here, not but worth of effort of travelling for coffee. The Danish roll is good. But the pancake are kind of dry and too thick. Instead of the 3 pancakes, they did 2 with the same amount of batter. Save time, but could be better as 3-4. Coffee is normal. Plus point is the quiet warehouse ambient.they have a roaster but it is too big for the volume of business. So you won’t see it working or smell the coffee roasting like in Australia.

    Little cafe in an industrial area, but don’t let the place fool you. The smell of coffee beans packed and ready to go hits you as soon as you open the door. With a nice selection of coffee and food, you’re bound to come back for more. They sell coffee beans too! Quiet atmosphere with spacious interior, ample parking space. Will 100% be back for more :) Thanks for the coffee guys!

    One of the best coffee. Here with my family at least once a week since we discovered this hidden gem (5 weeks ago). Great beans and have purchased a few to make my own coffee at home. Value for money. Do try their bakes too!

    This is a cafe in the industrial area, along Upper Thompson road. This cafe is very big inside, so alot of seats avaliable. They have a very big coffee bean roaster, so you can also buy coffee beans there, in which my wife did 😄. We went there for ☕️ and 🧇, both are very 👍. I really like their ☕️, very strong and smooth 😀. The waffle is also very good, better than alot places I have tried. I think their menu has a variety of drinks, hot food, 🧁 🍰 and etc. You can check it out and see for yourself. 😊 drinking ☕️ and eating 🧇

    Dropped by after lunch with a friend from overseas. Party of 6. Place was not crowded. However staff absolutely refused to assist with seating arrangements, despite me offering several suggestions. Everything was a "er.. No". Sounded like they didn't want our business. Was it so hard to approach a customer to ask if they're willing to shift? Was it so hard to move the tiny tables and combine them? In the end, decided to stay as we were tight on time to go look elsewhere. I had to approach the customers myself. We managed to get a 6-seater formed up. Coffees were decent. But may never come again for obvious reasons.

    Fragrant and strong coffee, feels more like a utilitarian space without much fuss. Focus is just on the coffee and beans itself. We actually came here for the cute Gudetama tables haha, plus points for that.

    Hidden gem in an industrial estate. It's a public holiday and yet there was a healthy crowd. Very good coffee and great ciabatta sandwiches. I tried the egg mayo and the chicken mayo ciabatta. Both were excellent although do note that the chicken mayo ciabatta is still made with chicken ham. I had avoided the ham and cheese ciabatta and picked the chicken thinking it will be made from chicken slices but it wasn't the case. It was tasty which was good. Had an Oatmilk latte which turned out very satisfying. Will definitely be back again. Especially with my hiking friends if we hike in MacRitchie again.

    Great place for coffee. In love with their ciabatta paired with coffee. Today am trying out their danish and coffee. Place sells coffee accessories and self-roasted coffee beans. “X-rated” coffee beans goes well with milk. Very spacious and this place is a fav haunt for cyclists.

    I'm quite grateful to have a decently priced, tasty coffee roaster in the neighborhood! Tried most of the beans and my favorite so far would have to be Mokha. Pastry's are decent and the shop is spacious with some interesting decor.... Recommended for that tasty caffeine fix whenever you are in the area!

    Nice place to come and drink coffee. Unfortunately, the location seems quite out of the way and not near any mrt station. In spite of that, the place was quite packed when I was there around 12pm on a public holiday. I've been to some Yahava Coffee Works outlets in Australia and those felt a lot more countryside and like farms. The atmosphere and environment in this one at Tagore Lane felt a lot more industrial and bare-walled in comparison. The coffee here tastes consistent with the ones I had in Australia though so that's good. Prices are not cheap, in my view.

    Love everything about the place, the atmosphere, service, food, etc. It’s a standalone specialty coffee place in an industrial building.

    Wonderful cafe in a hidden corner with good coffee and pancakes. Ordered the mocha and latte. Both were good. Pancakes were soft and fluffy, came with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and lemony curd. Overall a good cafe worth exploring if you are in the area

    The coffee is extremely good. I had cappuccino. It's intense, aromatic, creamy. The sandwich is above average. A bit too much mayonnaise and a bit too flat. But the bread is chewy and crisp. The scone is ok, but the jam is too sweet.

    One of the best coffee you get in Singapore. I used to try different cafes all over Singapore. I found this one is making nice coffee. The flavour is really 😃 great. If you're a coffee lover try once here, you will love it. Note : I tried only Flat white, never tried specialty coffee. I will take more photos next time I visit👍

    You can’t imagine we can enjoy high value coffee at such location. But here it is. I love ice latte here! You can’t go back chain coffee shop after try this.. Food are also nice. They cooked pancake on the spot.

    Very nice and large space with a relaxed atmosphere to enjoy coffee and maybe even some reading. Coffee is good and the whole place is fragrant with beans and ground coffee. The scone was good but I was a tad bit disappointed with the butter and jam ... a more generous helping would be appreciated. Highly recommended

    Hidden within an industrial estate. When inside, the place feels like home, spacious yet cozy. People were reading, working on their laptops, watching videos on their ipads... there were groups of friends as well as families on a Sunday late afternoon. Food selection is limited, but I was surprised at the taste of both the lasagna and iced mocha. While the food and drink looked simple, they tasted better than expected. Love the smell of coffee, the sound of coffee being made, and the smooth buttery taste of the mocha I had.

  • 5/5 The Bowls F. 2 months ago on Google • 66 reviews New
    Was looking for places to eat around the area and chance upon this cafe at a bird no lay egg location, and I must say that we had a wonderful experience there 😋 Coffee was tasty and also their food options were delicious 💯 Many actually come here to buy their coffee beans which they roast in house! I'm pretty sure they offer grinding services as well! ☕ Would definitely be back again! 👍🏻

    No matter where I go, this coffee place brings me right back. The taste, the ambiance, and the coffee aroma make it feel like I've never been away. It's my go-to, and it's always perfect.

  • 4/5 Zee 2 months ago on Google • 23 reviews New
    Nice unexpected coffee and brunch place, which was really great to visit after a walk in Thomson Nature Park. I got the chocolate and lemon curd pancakes (was able to request without ice cream) and a cup of tea. Pretty decent pancakes, not the prettiest presentation, but very nice and light pancakes. The teabags they use for the English breakfast tea was great! I would recommend and stop by again if in the area.

  • 5/5 JunLong Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Love the coffee smell when you enter the Cafe. Ordered ciabatta with egg mayo, waffle, cupucino and mocha. Food was good and the coffee was exceptional. Staff service was not bad but not very crowded when we were there. It's a quiet locale off thomson road at entrepreneur center. Limited parking space of about 30 slots and not many left on a weekday lunch period.

  • 4/5 Isabella 10 months ago on Google
    First time visiting them after they moved to Tagore Lane. Huge space like before. Out of the way so could only come since driving. Good service. Used shopback app to purchase a flat white - $3.95 for a large cup! Decent flat white. Restroom is outside on the side of the building.

  • 4/5 J.C 11 months ago on Google
    Hidden inside the industrial area of Tagore, it's a very nice and quiet spot for coffee and tea drinkers to sit back and enjoy in the nice air-conditioned shop away from the heat and buzz of Singapore. Food was good, everything is self-service, drinks were great. Will definitely be back to try their coffee.

  • 4/5 Desmond W. 3 years ago on Google
    A nice joint that is very spacious. Went with my family of 5 for brucnh, we tried both the pancakes and waffles. Both were pretty good except the pancakes peanut sauce which taste a little odd. The coffee was great as well. Do order using shop back for good deals. I paid 3.80 for 2 large lattes.

  • 5/5 Paul Y. 9 months ago on Google
    Amazing waffles with strawberries and black berries as well as vanilla ice cream. I love the combination as well as my strawberry milkshake. Great dessert but as filling as lunch.

  • 5/5 Lee Miao W. 2 years ago on Google
    Space: Good environment to work at though it's a little secluded. Music is not loud, very spacious. Enjoyed my time here working and sipping drinks. Drinks: Not one to order a coffee outside because I'm picky af but I wanted to try it since they have a huge coffee production within the compound. Their flat white is seriously good, recommended! Also tried their iced chocolate (topped with a dark chocolate ice cream) and iced matcha (can taste the Meiji milk). Price: Price is pretty affordable, if you can pay for Starbucks and Coffee bean drinks, you can afford this too for quality beans 👀

  • 3/5 Brandon L. 8 months ago on Google
    Amazing environment with amazing smell of coffee beans. Only downside, and a huge one for me since I usually drop my kid off in school and want a place to work for a few hours. No free wifi is available which is really sad. To more days at Starbucks I guess. Charging of laptop is also not allowed. Not coming back, sadly.

  • 4/5 Andrew K. 9 months ago on Google
    Ordered the waffles and ice cream with strawberry. It was ok, like something you would make at home. Coffee was ok. Had reasonable kick. But the pricing was too high $17 for this waffle in pic. Bringing the pricing down 15% to 25% would make it easier to order next time.

    Interesting place and they roast their own coffee. It’s a shame this place doesn’t have much food here, otherwise It’s a great place. Coffee is nice and service is good. The cake they got are average.

    Located within a factory building so is a tad off the main road. Mocha was decent and the waffle was lovely.

  • 5/5 XY C. 3 years ago on Google
    Aromatic coffee, nice ambience. The fragrance hits you as you step in, transporting you to another world. Hot scones are a bliss, topped off with flavourful milkshakes.

  • 5/5 Shu Y. 3 years ago on Google
    Got my coffee fix! If you brew your coffee at home, Yahava would definitely be the one to get! If you're using shopback, they are having promo at $1.80 (1 time) for a cup of coffee. Next cup at $3.80 is still a snatch!

  • 5/5 Bernard P. 3 years ago on Google
    Chicken cheese ciabatta is nice. Long black coffee also taste good.

  • 5/5 Randy T. 3 years ago on Google
    Great place for yr cuppa of kopi at northern part singapore. Service staff was excellent. Menu on wall was written too small font for me to see. Coffee at its best. Mid size cafe. Pancake taste good. Scone was soft and crumpy on inside but crispy on outside, best taste. Crossiant taste ok.

  • 5/5 Cephas S. 3 years ago on Google
    Surprisingly crowded on a Sunday afternoon despite the location. Tried a latte & bought home 500g of Espresso coffee beans. Latte was pretty good but the coffee bean quality really stood out. Will definitely recommend. The beans are also available for online purchase through their website. Service & atmosphere was pretty decent. Great for those who drive as location is pretty far in & parking is easy to find.

  • 4/5 P. M. 3 years ago on Google
    This was a pitstop for us on the way to the zoo. You've got limited options in this area, but thankfully Yahava is quite alright. Not too hard to find, large indoor space, and very well made coffee. We also had the pancakes which were somewhat of a letdown: they were just too cakey. If you're in the neighborhood it's worth stopping by, if you're not, then a trip seems hard to justify.

  • 3/5 Justina Y. 3 years ago on Google
    Just visited Yahava tis afternoon with my family. Cappuccino coffee was good n aromatic. The old place had more charm. Pity that the iced latte n iced mocha did not come with vanilla ice cream, like the ones they serve in Yahava Perth. The pandan kaya cake should be taken off the menu. We only ate a quarter of the cake, as it was really sub-par n tasted too “plasticky” n sweet.

    If not the best, in the top 3 of coffees in Singapore. Besides, very comfy place. Off-track of restaurants/coffee shops, but worth the trip.

  • 3/5 regina 3 years ago on Google
    Second time dining in here. Order Lasagne and sandwich and cashier told me for Lasagne there is a meal top-up $2.50 for a regular drink. I asked which drink, she said "any". So I ordered Iced Latte, and was charged $19.50 in total, additional $0.50. Which I didn't realize until I was leaving and took a look at the receipt. There was a "Make it large" charged for $0.50. Before I left, I asked the lady who took my order, she said Ice Latte does not have regular size so the $0.50 was to upgrade it. Which I think she should had told me when I was ordering instead of just charging me without letting me know.

    Best coffee ever! And the sweetest person who served me really made my day! Really have to give it to her! Didnt catch her name but she had short hair and looked really sporty. Really a great place to just chill and have a 10/10 cup of coffee!

    I've been enjoying their good cup of coffee since pre-CB with my friends. The baristas (like Kuya Arjay) are very accommodating. The lacking star is for the distance, it's a bit far from my place but nevertheless I will travel for a good coffee experience.

    I come here almost every day for years…. Since Gelangang time! Coffee is fantastic! Pancakes definitely better than McD’s! To Anthony, your kid fell herself, don’t blame the staff 🫠 You’re an adult, act like one.

    The customer service is great! Not to mention their pancakes are one of the better ones than what I’ve had in other coffee shops. Super light and fluffy. I’d definitely recommend the pancakes that have ice cream! Can’t wait to come back again.
