    24 hours coffee on Orchard, 5 points for just that. Everything else is also great. I ordered the tuna spaghetti and ice blended mocha coffee. It was delicious. The staff is also great and keep telling you about new offers. They have a new breakfast set, which is usually some eggs, bread and a specific kind of coffee. I have added a picture of the set for reference. $8 for 1 and $12 for 2 sets. Well worth the money

    Wow the most premium coffee bean and tea leaf store I’ve ever been. Sitting are comfortable with different arrangements, new type of breakfast food also available such as breakfast platter, charcoal waffles and BBQ Chicken. It’s located inside the Wisma Atria next to ION Orchard Mall and the Orchard MRT station.

    Food: I ordered their spicy tuna spaghetti & was satisfied with it as it had a generous amount of lightly spiced well seasoned sauce. Drink: I ordered Vanilla Latte and found it to be good although the amount of cream in it was too much for my liking. Atmosphere: It has a large seating area - indoor and outdoor. Service: Very fast and that could be because there weren't a lot of customers when I visited.

    We usually go to this Coffee Bean outlet. However, they must have changed something in the time since the last visit and now. The chicken and mushroom fusilli pasta is quite sauceless and... tasteless. The drinks are still alright. Staff seems different but still generally nice. Except for one who has a different way from everyone else of pronouncing "onion", and making me feel like i can't speak English properly. It was quite insulting. Since we usually come here for food too, and not just drinks....... might have to think twice about coming here again.

    Nice place to hang out with its lovely interiors and 24-hr operating time, especially on a weekend night when you’re looking for something that’s open till late. Tried the rainbow cake which is priced at $9.8. Thought that the price was a little steep, but the slice of cake is good and a comforting treat.

    Ordered this 2 set meal. They are accommodating as I’ve requested to make the other meal later. Really like that they have non dairy option for coffee.. Nice ambience of the place as well.

    Visited this CBTL outlet on one of the weekend nights. Ordered the cookie crumble with the Chicago cheese cake. And CBTL never disappoints. Lovely ambience but slightly crowded during the weekends.

    Service is good but the food is cold. And hashbrowns are undercooked (See pics). The only redemption was the Latte Mocca coffee I had. Was glad I chose that coffee.

    This CBTL is quite empty even during weekday lunch hour, so I wanted do some work here. I bought a sandwich and instead of eating and doing my work, I ended up fighting with not one, but four to five flies. Unfortunately, I could not get my work done in peace because I had to constantly protect my food 🥲 ciabatta sandwich was not too bad though

    Cool. Posh. Well lighted. New design of CBTL at 2nd level Wisma Atria (now a $JFC). Friendlies here the staffs. Professional crowd.

    Gina is excellent. Despite not frequenting this outlet as much recently, she remembered my drink order. Amazing. Thanks Gina.

  • 1/5 Kei D. 6 months ago on Google
    just this morning i want to order the egg mayo ciabatta set. the lady said its only comes with sanwich? so i’m confused why the poster says got drinks. not my first time i order the $8 set. and i usually try your sandwiches everytime got a new one. maybe train your staff to explain and just dont shut up?

    They just had the place renovated recently. New fresh feel to it, Food and drinks are great. Atmosphere is good too. They have indoor and outdoor seating. It helps if patrons would help to clean up after themselves, as sometimes the staff would be overwhelmed with orders.

    English tea was superb. Relaxed and casual ambience. Excellent location

  • 4/5 J W. 9 months ago on Google
    Convenient choice with its location in forum, and the fact that payments can be made via its apps which regularly offers perks

  • 4/5 Josephine O. 3 years ago on Google
    Ambience of the Ion outlet is comfortable and the tiramisu is good since it was ages I had one. To my surprise warm plain water is complimentary! To me it's just how considerate this company is towards its customers. Very heart warming guesture. Consider many places in Singapore will charge for this item, such pettiness totally ruin the companies' reputation.

    Creamy Seafood Fusilli ($14.90) was good, with 2 prawns, 2 scallops, mustard cream sauce. Would've been better if they didn't use fillers for the seafood. Spicy Tuna Spaghetti ($11.90) was way spicier than expected but tasty as well. The bread was a nice touch, went well with the tuna + sauce.

    Consistent and staff friendly. Quite a spacious cafe but maybe aircond should be cooler.

  • 5/5 RK A. 4 years ago on Google

    Spacious place for latte! Unfortunately, there is a time limit imposed on all customers at 1hr per seating. Also, no more use of laptops and book reading. Gingerbread house was v pretty but I would avoid buying again cos taste was so-so. Shall just stick to their cakes!

  • 4/5 Connie Q. 3 years ago on Google
    Coffee joint at Basement 1, Ion Orchard. Average hot coffee $7.00, cake average $6.00. Tried Belgian Dark Chocolate cake $7.20 and Hazelnut Latte. Good!

    Tip: when you are viewing the reviews of a place, do sort by NEWEST ;) Terrible service, terrible atmosphere, and terrible terrible staff (oh yah, and the food sucks). Came in at 1am hungry for a light bite or two, happy to notice there is a 24hour cafe to fulfil this. Place was quiet with only the cashier taking orders from customers. Suddenly while ordering, this cleaner(?), angular bald man wearing singlet and shorts, storms out of the kitchen and grabs things from cashier area, slamming cupboard doors as he leaves. My company and I were alarmed but shrugged it off. Two of us sat down and waited for food in silence and again cleaner guy rushes out, exchanging incoherent words and some clearer words I know are all only profanities, with the cashier lady, who answers him soulessly. The kicker is that just before he goes back into the kitchen, he shoots a sharp glare to our table. Then as if to taunt us, he comes out again when a guy customer is ordering, gets something from a drawer and closes it softly but loudly apologizes to the customer, then gives a longer stare to us as he goes in the kitchen. Already we are deeply regretting to eat there but what to do? So we just tahan while exchanging a few mean looks to the clearly screw loose cleaner guy, gave up eating half of the expensive trash tuna sandwich, and left upset. Eh coffeebean, orchard road leh, you hire staff that want find problem ah? Go find with the drunk people outside lah. Late and lazy to take order just close shop or say drinks only. Still show attitude to customers that nice to you, not even big group make noise create ruckus mess up the place then leave without cleaning those. We come here order nicely thank you politely, spill on table still wipe for you, but get like this kind face. Like that I rather eat hawker centre lah please. In the words of YOUR cleaner 'your madder fadder die then you know, i kill them' :)))

    The service is really bad and absolutely disappointing. They serve the coffee 1 hour before serving the breakfast. Coffee gets so cold. The staff doesn’t even say anything when we mention about this. The staff has really bad attitude and doesn’t respect the customers at all. THE WORST CAFE IN SINGAPORE!!

😐 This is ecstatically the best looking amongst the PS Cafes. They have a good selection of food and beverages that some might consider pricey. But their cakes and deserts are very good. It’s a great place to chill in the afternoons and also good for sundowners after a long day. It’s always a pleas...
