Very cool old school coffee bean store on Balestier open since 1959 (since 1960 in current location). They actually have a very cool website, but everything else is old school, from the way they will pack up the beans to how the old couple will wrote down your purchases for inventory in a notebook. As the other review noted, the owner has two types of beans here: blends for local coffee and single-origin beans. I purchased 250g of Guatemala beans for half the price of other places (only $10 SGD!), and the quality is much better than places like SBUX. I don't know why I didn't come here earlier, as I drink a lot of coffee at home. Will also have to try some of the other single origin beans from South America, Africa and Asia as well, and perhaps one day, I might even try to learn how to make a proper kopi as well :).
