    Great place. We had their signatures bacon wrapper chicken burger, duck waffle and sea salt caramel latte. Everything was great. Better still, the mains are 1-1 with the entertainer app.

    I read great reviews about this place and it wanted to experience it myself. Unfortunately I found it at the most average. The staff weren't at all friendly, plain and unwelcoming. The service was slow and the coffee was okish. The place is small, and looks cramped rather than cozy. The good reviews I read, were definitely exaggerated.

    Ordered the large beef bowl and requested for no spring onions. Was served with spring onions but it was okay as I picked it out. Halfway through, I found a strand of wavy short hair. Didnโ€™t have the appetite to continue with the meal. Requested half refund for the beef bowl (because I ate half before finding the stray hair). Thankfully the cashier(s) were polite and understanding. First and last time Iโ€™ll come to Candour Coffee. Thank you.

    I love how they partner with the Melbourne cafes to bring in different coffees to be served here in Singapore. Rare find! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ *Update* 2nd visit on 21 January on a rainy evening. It was a definite surprise to see one of my favourite coffee roaster from the UK - Square Mile - making its appearance! Having a flat white brewed with the Sweetshop Seasonal Espresso was perhaps the best coffee to begin 2017 right!

    No coffee after 6.30pm so it's kinda sad for caffeine hungry ppl hoping to get a decent cuppa here. Tried the signature truffle beef bowl(gyudon) and spicy sashimi salmon don. They were both decent I enjoyed the kick of the chilli padi to the salmon sashimi. The truffle sauce for the beef was a little overwhelming resulting in the rice being a little salty. Overall good ambience a small yet cozy cafe.

    This beef bowl is moist and delectable. Two persons (one guy one lady) can share the regular bowl comfortably. Can also share the Small chirasu bowl (portion size is similar to Regular beef bowl). Total price for the two bowls: $31.68 (incl. service charge)

    Got to try the truffle wagyu don which was slightly on the pricier side. The sauce is more sweet than savoury and might not be suitable for everyone's taste. Still finished the whole bowl though because it was delicious!

    Fantastic coffee and customer service. The salmon and bara dons are fresh, affordable, and delectable. The owner is incredibly thoughtful to customersโ€™ personal preferences and customised my bara don to my palette. Thanks for the fantastic experiences!

    Can I give a ZERO star? Absolutely zero customer service on their delivery service. Paid a box of 6 coffee for a friend's birthday 1 week in advance. Had to text to remind them to send. In the end? No reply and to my horror, no show. Forget about texting or calling them, they will never reply or 4-5 days late.. Only when I DMed them on IG one day after the delivery date did they reply. By then, it's already 1 day late for my delivery and they TOTALLY spoilt my surprise for a friend. There are more coffee delivery there. These guys don't seem to be interested to do business. Only saving grace is they do reply to IG pretty quick and the refund was almost immediate. However, when asking for money, they did it pretty quick as well. Other than that, Stay away from them.

    The coffees are sometimes a hit and miss. There are days where it is better but this time it isn't, on a post-lunch afternoon that is nice and not crowded. We tried the black brew and the salted caramel latte and didn't think much of it. Hope it will be better next time.

    Small restaurant but serving good taste food at reasonable price. Lunch crowd is huge and fill up the restaurant fast. Coffee and tea variety is available.

    Bad service attitude at the counter. Cashier was sarcastic and rude (fat guy with glasses). Food was so-so. Lots of other better Japanese bowl shops with good service, don't waste your time coming here.

    Cozy little cafe with the warmest staff who are passionate about their coffee. Their avo toast and pulled pork burger were simple yet amazing too. However, I came a second time and tried the poached eggs w smoked salmon which turned out to be a huge disappointment. Given the price, the portion was small and the bun was not tasty... hopefully a better experience next time!

    Very good wakyu beef Don and flavourful chicken burger. Coffee is definitely my top choice. If u have entertainer app can get buy 1 free 1.

    Candour Coffee is the perfect place for a good cup of coffee and a hearty sandwich! I'll highly recommend the truffle egg mayo sandwich. A cozy place that's great for catching up with friends or just to watch the world go by.

  • 4/5 Bryan 5 years ago on Google
    Coffee shop which operates on a co-rental with a Japanese restaurant. Wonโ€™t say itโ€™s a pleasant environment for those who is looking for a cuppa due to the strong food smell.

  • 2/5 Benjamin S. 3 years ago on Google
    Severely understaffed

  • 5/5 Brook S. 5 years ago on Google
    Awesome third-wave coffee with an Australian bent. If youโ€™re anywhere near this spot, drop by and try their drip.

  • 5/5 Mr S. 5 years ago on Google
    Yummy latte, u can sense the barista's craft and attention to detail. generous food portions.

  • 4/5 Nicholas H. 6 years ago on Google
    Wagyu Beef don was worth the wait! And it closes later than the timing stated here :)

  • 4/5 Jouร nn C. 6 years ago on Google
    Great coffee and friendly staffs. However, highly recommend to avoid the lunch crowd!

  • 5/5 minnieke2010 5 years ago on Google
    Chicken don is awsome

  • 4/5 Sage C. 6 years ago on Google
    Nice food but small space, hard to find seats...

  • 4/5 Febrin L. 6 years ago on Google
    A very small and cozy cafe.If you like specialty coffee you can come here. During lunch hours they offer chirashi don which is one of their specialty!

  • 4/5 Jialin N. 6 years ago on Google
    The food tasted good! Our only gripe was that the wait was long... about 35 mins of waiting..

  • 1/5 Chia T. 3 years ago on Google
    Tried to place an online order with the cafe for their cold brews, but there was reply or confirmation from them. Nobody picked up the phone as well. I understand that cafes have closed or shut down during this period but if you did close down then shouldn't you let your customers know as well? Their instagram has also not be updated. Edit: so after a few days, their business whatsapp got back to me saying that they were on a break. I understand the need to be on a break and things have been crazy, but likewise, an update on whatever social media platform would have been appreciated.

  • 1/5 Jana J. 3 years ago on Google
    Went there and ordered lavender earl grey latte coldbrew. When we pour it out, the drink is lumpy. Obviously the milk has coagulated and spoilt. They insist it is due to being on the fridge for 3 to 4 days, when the lump is obviously not due to low temp. Asked for a refund and left straight away.

  • 1/5 dan 3 years ago on Google
    Cold brewed tea was forgettable and completely not worth the price premium.

  • 3/5 Michelle T. 4 years ago on Google
    Coffee was pretty average. Milk could have been forth better.

  • 5/5 Mavis P. 3 years ago on Google
    I love their cold brew, the beans are fruity and sweet and not too bright in my opinion. I love it! Go for the white cold brew for a treat (less sweet/no sugar) as their regular one is pretty sweet. It's 350ml for $6.50, pretty affordable. I think it's quite a steal for free delivery when you purchase 6 bottles. For the black coldbrew, I find it a lil more diluted/light. If you want a really strong coldbrew that can awaken your soul, you can consider Parallel's. Otherwise this is good.

  • 3/5 Kaiyan L. 4 years ago on Google
    Coffee is average. Ambience not so good. There's an oily smell in the air, the owners should improve their exhaust system

  • 4/5 XZC 6 years ago on Google
    Price is good for the quality of beef and food, would recommend to friends.

    Coffee was average when I tried it a few years ago. It was better before it moved from Beach Road.

  • 1/5 Cole C. 3 years ago on Google
    The page says they close at 8pm, but it is 5:27pm and we were told they are already closed. Please update your hours.

    Great cold brew selection ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป able to alter the sweetness of the drinks! Earl grey lavender, sea salt caramel and matcha latte were my favourite!

  • 5/5 WT C. 3 years ago on Google
    Popped in for a coffee and tried the cold brew white coffee and vanilla rose latte. The cold brew white coffee was really good! The vanilla rose latte (a tea latte) was interesting. It's made with real vanilla pods, you could definitely see and taste it in the drink. There was only 1 staff in the shop but her service was amazing. She not only asked us for feedback but let us try another cold brew - sea salt caramel coffee. It was a really well balanced drink and I loved it so much! Would definitely consider their island wide delivery option, with free delivery for 6 bottles and above.

    Rakkibowl is located in the same place as candour coffee. I've been dropping by this place whenever I crave for a bowl of truffle wagyu Don! Absolute must-try when you're here! Their salmon mentaiko Don is pretty well executed too.

  • 1/5 Jefferson 4 years ago on Google
    Decided to try the coffee due to some of the good reviews here. Typical cafe coffee. Nothing special. But v bad service :)

    Caught on a promotion they had and tasted the coffee here. Ain't half bad =)

  • 2/5 Valeriia T. 4 years ago on Google
    A bit overpriced. Coffee was served not very hot.

  • 4/5 Prejean T. 4 years ago on Google
    Not very consistent when it comes to the taste of their coffee.. I've been here for a few times. I usually go here in the afternoon as it is not crowded.. It is small but cosy.

  • 5/5 Robin B. 5 years ago on Google
    excellent coffee shop, love their variety of single origin coffee from different roasters.

    Best flat white ever - only complaint is it wasn't quite hot enough. Loved this place, staff were great, and quit relaxing atmosphere. A haven in the busyness of Singapore.
