Nylon Coffee

Good coffee shop. If you like coffee, here ‘s the place you have to come in Singapore. Located in residential area which is actually the ground floor of apartment building. Looking for sign of block 4&5 then follow the sign of block 4 direction and you will find the shop. Always have crowd of customers waiting outside and sitting inside the shop. You have to get in line for getting in. They have sitting and standing area inside. I got filter coffee which is really good. They sale the whole beans too. Price are average but it worth for the coffee taste you got. Really enjoy it. Credit card accepted. Enjoy!

Welcoming little coffee shop in a tucked-away corner. The lines are short but the store is busy and coffee can take 25+ minutes. The staff was very friendly and apologetic though. The coffee was overall unremarkable when compared to other amazing specialty coffee shops in Singapore. Though it is still a decent coffee and worth it if you are in the area and have spare time.

Popular coffee spot tucked away in the inner part of an HDB, so expect a long queue. Tried their recommended iced latte on a sweltering day — flavour profile wasn’t quite my preference, but that’s just personal taste. It did do a great job of cooling me down though. No proper indoor seating, more of a casual setup. The staff do make an effort to assign you a spot after you order.

The barista is friendly and helps you choose a coffee based on your preferences, even explaining how to taste it in a way that enhances the flavor. The coffee itself is excellent. However, the shop is quite small and often extremely crowded, which makes it hard to relax and fully enjoy the experience.

Our weekly coffee treat, and it was yet another great find! 🗺️ nested in a far end of a HDB block in this prime area is a coffee roastery that serves up really good coffee, evident by the huge crowd that was patronising the shop when we were there on a Saturday afternoon! 🪑 only managed to get a bench on the outside, since the inner seats and standing tables are fully packed ☕ both the hot and iced white were amazing, very fragrant and has a good tasting note as well! Definitely one that we will return in future, made accessible with the acceptance of CDC vouchers too!

The coffee was great and the service was extraordinary. I ordered filter coffee and white, which were equally delicious. The place is small and located inside an apartment, so expect a crowded situation, but it’s worth the wait. Love the staffs who are friendly and gave great services for the customers.

Bought a medium white it’s +30c for takeaway which is weird but fine then was asked to wait outside when it’s perfectly empty inside??? When asked why do I have to wait outside, cashier replied they are anticipating a lunch crowd which was literally non-existent the whole 3 mins I was there from ordering to getting my coffee and there were other customers waiting inside. Even if there was a lunch crowd coming, how is making your customers wait outside acceptable? Sure coffee is okay, but no coffee is worth the discrimination.

The café is located inside a Singapore flat. You have to walk through a narrow path, and then a small, open green garden comes into sight, with the café on the left. Though ，the café is small, the outdoor area is decorated with lots of plants, so you can sit at the outside area to enjoy the 'green' decor. We ordered 2 Iced Long Black , and it's the best Long Black I've had in the past five years. It has a bright , clear fruity taste with just a hint of bitterness— very refreshing drink after walking under the sun. The staff are very friendly and make you feel welcome! ------------------------------------------ Value for Money:3/5

A comfortable, no-frills coffee shop right in the Everton Park HDB. It's a bit hard to find among the buildings, but it's worth looking for. Nylon Coffee Roasters is better defined by saying what they don't have: No chairs, no sofa, no frapuccinos, no syrup, no whipped cream, no fancy oversized mugs, no merchandise, no bossa n' whatever music, no paper cups with your name misspelled on them. They are very clear on what they offer: excellent quality coffee. The menu is quite simple: three different brews, either hot or iced. They will let you choose which coffee you want, and they have amazing Central or South American beans to choose from. At the centre, there is a big table for people to stand around while enjoying a quick cup. The staff are very efficient and friendly. One of them took time to ask me how my coffee was (it was fantastic! Perfect taste). I challenge anyone to tell me if they have seen that happen on a franchise coffee shop. And this is the main virtue of this place. They are obsessed with quality. They use scales, thermometers and timers in order to brew the perfect cup of coffee every time. Even the stuff they sell is useful stuff: filters, cups, brewing tools instead of merchandise. They are on a mission to raise the bar on Singapore's coffee culture and, judging by the crowd of customers, they are succeeding. There are two basic philosophies when it comes to coffee bars. There are those that focus on their atmosphere, furniture, and general feel, sacrificing the coffee. On the other hand, there are those that focus on the quality of the coffee they serve. Nylon Coffee Roasters are clearly of the second kind, and that is always welcome.

A hard to find coffee place tucked away in the heart of a HDB complex. This place takes its coffee seriously. The staff is great and will give you recommendations as to what blend and preparation to select. I got the beans from Guatamala with a dash of milk. Wonderful aroma from the coffee and the place in general. Cash or nets only...and not a lot of seating but the coffee is top notch!

Great little coffee shop that's in the middle of a twisted maze of a building complex! Not a lot of seating, but very kind baristas and some really great coffee. The standing table in the middle is definitely a great spot if you're on the taller side. Having air con is also a big plus!

This place came highly recommended by a friend. She wasn't kidding when she said it was hard to find - it's kind of hidden in an apartment complex . It has an American hipster coffee shop feel. There are maybe only 3-4 chairs inside, but there's some outdoor seating and also a tall long table with standing room inside. Inside is definitely preferred for the air conditioning. The menu is simple and focused on coffee. The flat white was solid. Pricing wasn't bad for coffee, but beans are a bit more expensive. Service was friendly. Cash only. If you're nearby, it's worth stopping in for coffee.

My first reaction when checked in here, "OMG SO MANY REVIEWS!" Deserve it, truly deserves this much reviews. I will describe coffee here as honest, sincere, decent, strong, smart. I love honest people who runs a cafe/eatery with all their heart and bringing things they love to share with others. The owners definitely knows their stuff, coffee. It's my first visit and I was overwhelmed by how great coffee in Singapore could taste with just beans and milk. During my first visit, I was told that their standing space is temporarily shut due to shortage of manpower. It's running on a small space now, but everything is still running in an orderly manner where the staff remembers customers faces and "labeled their customers according to their face". Despite the space constrain and crowd, orders were not mixed up, and still served in an orderly manner. Anyway just buy and go la huh, there's no space for you to sit and chill to enjoy your coffee. I think it's more like a take away stall for now. The menu is very simple. Hot or iced, black or white coffee. The price tag is the best, a real good decent iced coffee cost $5! This is so much better than what you can get elsewhere. I see notices that the owners source coffee beans direct from Columbia. See what I mean by sharing their passion and love to others?

So much has already been said about Nylon and there's no doubt that they have been and are key to Singapore's rise as one of the great coffee cities in the world. With that in mind I have been inclined to give them five stars but I still end up at four. The main reason is that while the coffee is roasted with great skill and the filter coffees are made very well I still see some room for improvement. The main things that have annoyed me a bit is that often the coffees are out so perhaps only one of three coffees on the menu can be ordered and there has happened more than once that there are no beans at all for purchase. The execution of the filters is often good but I do also believe that they could fine tube it a bit ti make it world class as I often have their coffee made better at other places and at home. The place is however great for coffee and the location in Everton Park does feel more real and like a local experience, at least to a visitor like me. The space is considerably larger now then when they opened so there are actually seats outside for around 6 people and the high table inside can easily hold around 10 people. The atmosphere is always nice and friendly and it seems like a lot of people living in the area go here as well. Do however not come in search of food as there is nothing really. Still this is one of the best places for a cup of coffee in Singapore and it should be visited by anyone remotely interested in good coffee.

There is a real charm at Nylon..I was telling my friend that everytime I'm halfway through a cup there, I'm wishing for the next one. It's tiny. There's often only 3 seats inside..and 1 bar stool if you're lucky. But it's up close, it's personal, I feel like I'm catching up with pals..whether I bring a pal of my own or not but it's the kind of place you want to bring your mates too. I was very touched recently when Jiamin brought out a little container of Chinese new year sugee cookies she had been gifted with to share with us. Mmm I think sometimes at the popular indie places, as they get more and more different staff manning the machines so they can let the experienced ones have more flexible hours off or man a new shop..you sometimes get the odd cup that is lukewarm (and it's always at a busy crowded time when there's pressure to get through the orders) and you almost feel bad to comment that it's not warm enough and it's on the side of bland (you can also see the crema is limited and the latte art indistinct). Coz you know they'll be saying..oh it can't be too high a temperature otherwise it'll be burnt. We served it to you this temperature on purpose..I mean we can make it for you again but it IS meant to be this cold. Excuses aside (and that's what they are because they imply that you don't know what substandard coffee you've been drinking before..and a few times I encountered this, I actually had been drinking weekly at the same joint or their sister joint!!), I find that nylon is consistent. Consistent not as in boring but as in quality control, folks! In this case, it's consistently exciting coz each sip there is flavourful..beautifully balanced, tasty..warm..and warmly served. Please, if you see me there and you have 1 of the few seats, offer it to me as I am very flatfooted and my feet sometimes ache. Haha, having said that I don't mind at all standing there and have even offered my seat up before. It's what the friendly regulars do here ;) It may not be for everyone. I think my friend did describe it accurately where she said if she wanted a quiet one-on-one catchup she wouldn't pick here coz it's so close everyone can hear your conversation but if you're open and wouldn't mind a chat with whoever (and some pretty chill and nice regulars turn up, sometimes behind the counter), it's a cool place and the coffee made for a fantastic afternoon.

Great spot to hang out with a cup of coffee in hand. I get a kick out of watching the coffee orders being made. Nylon takes their coffee really seriously from weighing the grinds precisely to ensure that perfect grind to water ratio for a hand-poured cup. The vibe at Nylon is great - a gathering place for the neighborhood and familiar faces. It seems like everyone knows each other or bumps into each other by happen chance here regularly. Nylon is on the ground floor of an HDB complex called the Everton. This whole area is really unique with a ton of great boutique shops, cafes, dessert places, even a Korean rice cake joint! So random but so fun to visit and explore the area and feel the really unique Singaporean vibe here... do drop by.

A tiny spot by any means, but they do tell you they're not set up as a café, instead as a coffee roaster, with a little space to let you taste their wares. Nylon is only two months old, and serve only coffee, but owners Dennis and Jiamin have quite the following, perhaps from their time as partners and baristas at artisan roasters Papa Palheta and Loysel's Toy. The menu is straightforward - start with espressos, black or white, made with their signature El Primero blend. Whites are denoted by volume and not type, so cappuccinos, café lattes and flat whites cost the same, if you're after the same one size. Get a 3oz, 5oz or 7oz, and taste how the espresso works with various amounts of milk; I like the 3oz best - its most like a piccolo latte, but get a 5oz if you're after a regular sized café latte. If you're a bit of a coffee nut, I think you'll really like the brew offerings. I've had great pour-overs made with the Kalita filter. Their single origins really sing, and I've had some super juicy flavours. Yeah okay, I'm a bit of a nut. If you get a chance, say hi and talk to them about how you'd like your coffee. They're nuts for the stuff, and its great to talk to people who love what they do. After conversations like that, I usually end up drinking a couple more than I mean to. Thankfully, coffee's not bad for you. At least that's what I keep telling myself.

The treasure hunt is part of the joy of finding this spot buried under an apartment block. Keep your eyes peeled because it would be easy to miss this tiny nook of a store. There's barely room for a coffee machine and a few people, so it's hardly the place to hang around for a long time but if you do the staff won't make you feel bad about it. Grab a chair (if you're lucky!) and a magazine and drink as many coffees as you can before your heart gives up. Or prop yourself outside and watch the coming and goings of the neighbours. These guys totally know what they're doing and the coffee is some of the best I've had in Singapore.

Don't ever come here!! I mean it! Stay away! I would like to keep this place to myself. Yes, I will end up killing the thing that I love most, but I don't care. I've reviewed this place on Tripadvisor, and I'm beginning to think I should stop saying good things about this place on the Internet, but I can't help myself. This is a no-nonsense coffee joint run by people who really care about coffee and know their product. Absolutely unpretentious and sincerely dedicated to putting the best cup of coffee they know how in front of you. Dennis and Jiamin maintain control over the entire process from sourcing to roasting to brewing, all just to be able to say with absolute honesty and sincerity that they've given you the very best cup of coffee likely in all of Singapore. If you love coffee or think you love coffee Dennis & Jiamin will take good care of you at Nylon coffee roasters.

My great auntie has lived at Everton Park for decades, and once upon a time I even lived here too, and I remember the days before when there was nothing remotely hipster about this housing block. It is really cool to see cute new cafes and coffee shops moving in, and I've been to Nylon every time I'm back in town. That said, there is no doubt that the coffee at Nylon is great (and I hail from a place where awesome coffee is the norm), there is still something about Nylon that strikes me as utterly pretentious. It caught me by surprise to be told (albeit, politely) that their coffee is sweet enough on its own that no sugar is needed or provided, and I should try it and see for myself. It was odd being schooled on how coffee should be taken, and if even the most hipsterish Mission coffee shop in San Francisco tried this, the ridiculousness of it would be blogged about endlessly. So yeah, mixed feelings about this place. Good coffee. Just don't bother asking for sugar.

This shop is closed for renovations, yet the owner did not update in the system. On the system it reflected open. Waste a trip there together I also saw other guess make a trip there. The owner just walk out like nothing has happened what an idiot. No sense of responsibility

This coffee shop's so hipster it hurts. But I loved it. I've been to Nylon quite a number of times and the coffee (I dare say) is one if not the best in Singapore. The bunch of us know the owner of the shop (he's also an alumni of the papa palheta coffee movement here in Singapore) and he'll always there to share with us any specialty beans they have and would recommend some. Or else, it's just a casual chat. Coming to Nylon is like going to a friend's place where, if you're a regular, you sort of know the crowd here. This coffee roasters serves only coffee but if you fancy a bite, you can always walk over next door (merely 5 steps) for some cakes or shepherd pie. They're pretty good too. If there's one thing I would nick-pick about this place is the lack of chairs. There are less than 5 chairs in the shop and plenty of standing space. There's a long communal table where everyone would just stand around it while enjoying their cuppa joe. I guess they want everyone to "feel young" and hip like how we would enjoy our beer in a bar - standing and chatting. Located on the ground floor of a HDB flat at Everton Park, you have to navigate yourself around but it's easy to find. We paid $12 for a 5oz latte and two iced coffee. I would come back again and again and again and again...

I love filter coffee. And would grab any opportunities that I come across to try any cafe serving filtered coffee. Nylon Coffee Roaster is a cozy little corner for customers to chill out for a break. There is little seating here, literally less than 10 chairs. However, standing tables are provided. If you are looking for a quick coffee break after lunch with 3-4 friends. This is a nice recommendation. Not recommended for big group gathering.

This charming hole in the wall serves up caffeine in copious amounts, if that's what you need! I had just returned from NYC in May and was on the lookout for places that were both accessible and did drip coffee really well and Nylon was it. They're a short walk from Outram (NEL Exit G). I came for the coffee but stayed for the conversations. Once you let the owners infect you with their love for coffee, I guarantee you'll be coming back for more. For starters, pick up a 5oz single shot and if you can, I encourage you not to add any sugar to it to appreciate how the milk and espresso complement each other. If you're looking to start brewing drip coffee at home, they also carry a couple options: the disposable "kantan drip" or the "kalita wave".

The Everton Park HDB estate houses a number of nice small joints and Nylon Coffee Roasters is located on the quieter side off Cantonment Road. The small place was packed once we found it, with a line building outside, and I was surprised to see that there really is no seating, but standing only at a "community" high table, with no space left, and the very small counter where you order and pay, with the coffee grinders and machine at the back. And if you're thinking of downing a muffin with your coffee: wrong place. This is coffee only. It was a very hot day and we ordered iced coffee, white, and a ristretto with milk. The lady serving us had a very "organised" tone about her, and I was not sure if I liked the military style in which she asked what we wanted but I guess she wanted to keep the line moving and I forgot about it when she spoke to my hubby about how he wanted his coffee exactly as he is very particular. They settled on a kind of "ristretto" plus a shot (yes, my husband cannot deal with weak coffee), with milk - so basically so strong that it nearly kills you, and then back it up a little. She did just that. And he was amazed at how smooth the coffee still tasted, as strong coffee is often just bitter and nasty. My iced white coffee tasted great, also, very smooth and whatever beans they used: I liked the full bodied flavour that did not let the milk overpower them. Speaking about the beans: I really would've purchased coffee to take home but "they do not recommend grinding at the shop". You're supposed to do that at home. Not feasible for us as I did not pack all of my kitchen equipment from Germany, and don't see the need to purchase another grinder here. So no coffee for me :-/ I thought long and hard on how to rate them, and settled on three stars for the excellent product but the - in my point of view - lacking practicality in the dealing with customer requirements. I might be back for their coffee though ;-)

I've read many good reviews on Nylon Coffee Roasters and I finally got the chance to try it today. All the praises awarded to the coffee by Nylon Coffee Roasters are not exaggerated and definitely not misplaced. It is a tiny stall, hidden in a corner of Everton Park estate. It's around a 10-15minute walk from Outram MRT station but that short walk is definitely worth the coffee you get at Nylon Coffee Roasters. I had a 7 Oz flat white and have to say that it is by far my favourite cup of coffee on this island. The main focus of Nylon Coffee Roasters is their coffee, and the owner's passion for brewing it right, so do not expect fancy cafe styled cakes or a variety of flavours in their coffee. Their coffee are just THAT GOOD on its own. The owners who serve up the coffee on their own are warm and full of enthusiasm when you talk to them about their brew. I'm definitely heading back there some time soon!

Some beautifully complex and well crafted shots and being served in a quiet residential corner of Outram Park. Good things happen when a cafe is set up for the right reasons - for example, when the owners are passionate about coffee. This is certainly the case at Nylon. Single origin beans (as well as blended varieties) sourced from South America are roasted in Nylon each week. Nylon's signature blend - El Primero - gives a medium bodied espresso with distinct citrus notes. The citrus notes never overwhelm the espresso - this is clearly the product of experimentation, and time spent perfecting the blend. It's a nicely balanced shot, not too astringent, which also lends itself to smooth and subtly flavoured cappuccinos and lattes. There is an interesting approach to the menu also. Rather than having conventional lattes and cappuccinos, there are 3oz, 5oz and 7oz sizes available. This is a clever idea - while some franchise chains serve what are essentially bowls of caffeinated warm milk, the owners of Nylon have ensured that a broad variety of preferences are catered for, while never losing the underlying coffee taste - coffee is always the most fundamental component of each drink. Furthermore, as milk is steamed, lactose becomes more soluble. Coffee which has been prepared correctly should not need sugar - this is one of the many things that are not merely done correctly at Nylon, but are done very well. There is a retail section also, with a good selection of beans on sale, as well as a smaller variety of accessories, such as coffee filters. The seating area itself is small, but there are a number of benches directly outside as an alternative. Overall, this is certainly a place that anyone who loves coffee should visit.

A true, third wave micro roaster, Nylon Coffee Roasters, located in Everton Park is a hidden gem on the ground floor of a large residential/business complex located just a short walk from the Outram Park MRT station. The small shop, designed in the reclaimed/exposed metal style that is typical of this style of business offers straight up coffee with no "flavored" offerings, such as mocha's. A small area is dedicated to coffee preparation items, such as drip containers, filters and cups. Bulk bean purchases can also be made and a fair assortment, at reasonable prices is available.

Solid coffee in the Outram Park neighborhood. Location is hidden in a HDB block so you definitely need to search for it. Minus one star for limited seating options

One of the best coffee we've had and wonderful pricing. Only downside is seating else it be a 5 star for sure.

This is my favorite coffee shop in Singapore. I try to visit whenever I am in town and bring their beans home with me

Great rich coffee. Batista measures the shots and brew each cup with care. Beans are being roasted in the café, and they kept the blend fresh with the season. The staffs are nice too. They will remember what's your favourites. Mine's the White, 7oz with an extra-shot; double 7.

You know these people are serious about their coffee and their coffee alone hwen you see that (a) options are limited w/ simple names (it's either coffee with or without milk, hot or cold, filter or expresso) (b) no latte art (c) no food items (d) no sugar offered. I can see they really want you to focus on your cuppa. It's also such a hipster thing that third wave coffee is to be found in the void deck of one of the oldest HDB neighborhood in singapore, oh how so badass. The first time I visited was a weekend and the place was jam packed with people standing with cup in hand. Yes, standing, there are no seats. But you can take your coffee with you and sit on the benches in the community space. So to respect their dedication, I always go for black coffee, hoping that one day I can master the skill of identifying all those fruity notes. Somehow without the distraction of food I do find myself focused on tasting the cup in hand. The staff are eager to help and knowledgeable. I also detect a strong sense of pride and ownership since they invariably ask me how I find the coffee, every time without fail. They have closed off their usual standing space last I visited since some of their staff were off sourcing beans. I remember this happened a couple of times so you should check online before visiting to avoid disappointment. The other thing I found out last time is a new HK Cafe opening next door and they are ok with you bringing your cup of coffee from Nylon into their space as long as you order something. So another option if you want to sit.

Believe it or not, there is a coffee culture in Singapore. That, or I have a strange ability to befriend people and find a job where people are obsessed about their coffee... And it's creeping up on me too, damnit! I've heard so many things about this place and I was always curious to try it out. One day, after a nice lunch around Keong Saik Road, my colleagues asked if I wanted some coffee. They probably mentioned where we were going, but I pulled a Barney Stinson and kind of zoned out. Once we approached this HDB flat, I was thinking, "Where the hell are we going??" And then we landed at Nylon. And I was like, OH. If I recall correctly, Nylon's story goes a little something like this: they started out as a roaster and distributed coffee to different shops. Then they decided to open their shop to people and start serving coffee. And every now and then they'll shut the shop down for an uncertain amount of time to travel to places, find and buy coffee beans, then roast them in Singapore. So when you come in, order, and see them do cool things like weigh grinds for each drink, you know that your cuppa's gonna be a good one. And most recently, they bought the space next door to them, so now they opened it up and added a long table for you to enjoy your that cuppa even more! The prices put Starbucks to shame. Welcome to the new age!

After reading the consistently great reviews about Nylon, this place was bookmarked for quite a while in my yelp list. The first time i went there the roaster was closed. Today was attempt number 2. You can imagine the anticipation (and great expectation) when I finally got to try out their coffee this afternoon. It was a tiny place with less than 5 seats indoors, and filled with regulars overflowing onto the outdoor benches. Mostly young upper middle class Singaporeans, the guys were fit and the women were pretty. Hey not a bad place if you want to view local beautiful people having their Saturday afternoon kopi. We ordered a double shot macchiato each, which while decent isnt quite the best I've had in Singapore. It was very creamy (great if your personal preference) and the flavor was strong and smooth. But instead of being bitter, the taste of the macchiato was literally sour. I'm not a coffee connoisseur, yet I've never come across great coffee being described as sour. The best macchiato I've had here is at liberty coffee, a roaster that sporadically opens during seemingly random weekends. Comparing nylon and liberty, the latter offers bitter expresso with a light dash of milk that also goes down smoothly with a strong nutty roast aftertaste. For coffee, I know which place I prefer. For the view, nylon is imcomparable ;)

This place had amazing coffee. Likely the best I have had in Singapore. Don't expect to sit down and relax here it it is a quick order, drink, go type place, with a few wooden benches outside. Just skull it like an Italian! There was one thing I really didn't like about Nylon Coffee Roasters. Upon my partner ordering her coffee she asked for half a teaspoon of sugar. The barista politely asked her to try it without sugar. No matter how good coffee is I don't think someone should be told/politely asked to try their coffee a different way. Particularly if they have been drinking it for the last 10 years. As I said other then that superb coffee and I do see the team here love what they do!!!

Located at the bottom of a HDB block, Nylon Coffee is the epitome of no frills. Dennis and Jiamin are champion coffee roasters who venture out into the wild to bring the best beans home to roast for you lucky people. Loved the pour overs here, mostly made with the Kalita wave. When I went, they had a guest bean in the hopper from the Coffee Collective in Denmark. Probably the best coffee in Singapore, some say JB. Can't reiterate how much I love this quaint little spot.

Nylon is one my favourite boutique specialty coffee roaster in Singapore. Located among HDB flats, Nylon attracts coffee drinkers from surrounding small businesses during weekdays. You'll also find weekend cafe hunters to find the next best tasting flat white. If you are also serious with brewing your own coffee, do order a bag of specially selected hand drip beans in advance for pickup on the day. Seriously, they run out fast.

So having actually been IN Nylon twice now, I have to say, dropping by really is such an big part of its charm. You meet people that are happy to talk to you about absolutely anything and everything, willing to share the joke that has you walking in mid-laugh, and often, perfectly happy to offer up the seat if you're stuck holding your coffee and looking awkward. It's the kind of place you wish you could drop by every day to become a regular yourself just so you can be part of the 'in' group. Also, I don't think the lack of seating space is a big deal. There're actually benches outside, and if you don't mind the heat, then win! So yes. I'm bumping this up to five stars. It's really hard to not love the charm, warmth, and inclusiveness of a place like Nylon.

Decided that we need to go local so I went on a Sunday morning quest for coffee beans while Aga studied. We've been bringing them back from trips to Australia. Would never ever have stumbled across this place without the recommendation. They roast their own beans and serve nothing but coffee. Super happy with the Four Chairs espresso blend and 2 iced coffees I've had there. On both visits the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Last night I snuck in just before closing and the whole team were cupping different roasts that someone had brought back from Scandinavia.

Coffee as it should be. Straight-up, sans the fluff. With only 3 variations (milk, black, filter), you can be pretty assured these guys know what they're doing. I don't typically enjoy my coffee with milk but Nylon does an impressive white with perfect consistency. Having said that, I've enjoyed all 3 on the list and it doesn't hurt to alternate your options with each visit.

I am amazed and impressed with coffee shop in Singapore! The two coffee places we have been so far are so good! The menu here is simple and I ordered the 7 oz since I generally prefer latte. I think the coffee is a bit more sour than the other one I had yesterday at another nearby shop. Cute place and with friendly service. I will definitely come back again...

Excellent coffee! A bit difficult to find this place but it is totally worth it. And it's not expensive - we paid 7.50SGD for a cup of cortado and a double shot of espresso. The service is also exceptional - very friendly staff.

When my favorite cafe shut down last year, I went into a deep, dark spiral until I found Nylon. On doctor's orders I'm temporarily cut off from coffee and alcohol so I haven't been by since the renovations and expansion, but god I love their espresso. Ah, and Dennis & Jiamin are great. Except I find watching Dennis foam milk depressing: he makes it look too damn easy to get such good, sweet microfoam. I seriously don't order flat whites from Nylon because then I just can't enjoy the flat whites I make at home. What I find so impressive is that besides their (excellent) Four Chairs espresso blend, they manage to regularly rotate through single origins and still serve consistently good espressos (at home, I'm terrible at dialing in new coffees and there's another cafe near me that switches up their coffee quite often and I think they're terrible with their consistency). While I can occasionally appreciate the mouth-puckering, super-acidic, lighter roasts that seems favored by many third-wave roasters, I'm grateful that Nylon (so far) hasn't gone there with any of the coffees I've tried. A tip: if you're buying beans, order in advance online (in store stock is pretty limited).

A great place to have coffee - personable service , small area and two incredibly passionate individuals who have travelled the world over to experience the wonders of coffee all over and have come to share it with us. The coffees are of a very high quality - loads of flavour , fruity and complex and always a surprise or two here and there. Their El Primero blend is the house blend and is seasonal - only way to find out what the flavours are for that day is to hop down for a tasting! Nylon however is relatively small - not much of a spot for sitting down over a table the entire day - there are no tables in fact! Hence it would not be ideal for that purpose - but for the coffee purist , is paradise: No food here either.

Here is where you know you will always get a great cup of specialty coffee whether brewed or as an espresso drink. I always start my coffee rounds with a cold brew that is a small dose of intense flavour, approximately 2 ounces. If you head down there anytime soon, you might just taste the same juicy, berry flavour profile of this current single origin bean that leaves you craving for more on any given day in this sweltering heat of Singa. I thoroughly enjoy interacting with the couple behind the machine, a friendly duo who are very serious about their java. Ask them about their shop name if you have the chance, they have quite a sweet story behind it. Oh and don't forget to check out the little touches around the pigeon hole. Tiny as it may be, many interesting accessories are lying around!

This place is coffee geek heaven! These guys know their coffee and it shows. I had a perfect cup of coffee - and pleasing me when it comes to my coffee is no small feat. If you're into grande soy pumpkin spiced half caff blah blah blah then this is probably not the place for you; but if you truly appreciate your coffee in it's purist form then you belong here. Lack of seating is a huge bummer, especially when you consider how long it can take for your drink to be prepared. Hopefully they find a larger space in the future.

An adorable hole-in-the-wall coffee spot that proves my theory that the world's best coffee is always hidden. Singapore's friendly resident community manager, Marcus, introduced us to this charmer (thank you!!!!) and it did an excellent job of impressing two Melbournian coffee fiends. We were really blown away by the warm community feel of this place. Despite it's size, happy punters crammed in for as long as possible to talk all things coffee with locals and visitors alike. Wonderful.

Nylon is a stalwart among the 3rd wave cafes. Their coffee doesn't hide behind meaningless names and labels like "latte" or "flat white" - pfft. Coffee here is either served black or with milk. Although they do make a slight concession to hipster fashion by marking their milk coffees with lovely milk hearts. But i digress. Espresso based coffee here is very consistent. Their house blend - called "Four Chairs" - is a lovely mix of earthy, vegetal, chocolatey flavours, balanced with a hit of floral, acidic citrus. Pairs fantastically with food - which they don't have. Another thing they lack is seats - the coffee bar is standing space only, with just a scattering of chairs is the corners. They also do drip coffee - for which they use the Kalita Wave filter. The drip lineup is constantly rotating, based on whatever seasonal single-origin beans that they personally source, import, and roast in-house. Its not the most comfortable coffee place, but its always cosy. Despite their adherence to the purity of the brew, staff are never snooty and always ready to offer assistance and chat up customers. If you can't tell already, I'm a huge fan. And i hope you'll be one too.

I wish my HDB block had a Nylon Coffee Roaster at the void deck! I'd be greeted by wafts of dizzying coffee smell everyday, i'd even get my daily dose of coffee here everyday if I could! Went to check out this tiny space with a friend of mine and we both ordered the piccolo, if I'm not wrong, they were brewing Peruvian beans for the coffee that day. It was so good and so smooth, we didn't add a grain of sugar, the coffee is gentle enough that the milk's sweetness cuts through and you get to enjoy a REAL cup of coffee! Was so in love with it that I wanted to get the beans so I can make a cup with my french press at home every day. But their shelf of freshly roasted beans (which they do in-house, you can see the machine behind the counter) had only the brazillian blend, so I got that and they ground it for me. Just tell them how you make your coffee at home, whether its espresso machine, french press or drips and they can grind the coffee accordingly for you. While the beans were grinding, oh my, the beautiful bittersweet aroma that suddenly enveloped the room got us all so excited! It was nice talking to the owners too because they really do love their coffee and are happy to share their expertise. Don't expect a cafe though, this is strictly a coffee lab/joint/space, it's all coffee and nothing else! Final verdict: Worth hunting for, not just for the freshly ground coffee but also to meet the genuine and passionate owners.

this place is small. and by small, there's a counter and space to seat perhaps 5 people comfortably inside. there's also a bit more space to accommodate the invariably long line of people waiting for their fix (doubt their existence is much of a secret). i think there's a wooden block outside, but seems a bit unseemly to drink gourmet coffee on a wooden block (hey, different strokes...). anyway, be prepared to get your coffee to-go when you come here. having said that, the coffee ($4) is delicious. i drink my coffee black so even the smallest nuances in make a significant difference. and these guys really know what they're doing. i hear they travel frequently to hand-pick the beans. they also roast their beans in this giant monstrosity of a machine you'll see inside. my beans were from Michiti, a co-op located in Kaffa, West Ethiopia. so damn good. man, just thinking about it is bringing back my unassuaged craving. brb getting coffee.

I was quite impressed with the coffee of Nylon Coffee Roasters! It's a cute and quaint shop with a very intimate set-up. Would've been nice if there were more seating accommodations--it was inconvenient to stand around. I guess that's how hipster places are though. But I can definitely see myself dropping by here again and bringing along a friend or two!

Coffee is good, but you have to take it exactly as given. Asking for sugar is like requesting illegal substances to be added! They argue the coffee is designed perfectly and needs nothing else. Even a request to take away is met with a frown, as the cup affects the flavor.

You know they mean business when there's a $12k La Marzocco in the front and a Probat at the back. Simply stated, they roast their beans right. My current crush is the Baroida single origin, warm, chocolatey and fruity aftertaste. Can coffee descriptions rival that of wine? Possibly. I was looking for a replacement for my usual San Diego micro-roaster, and I first wandered in here when the storefront was open for under a year and they only occupied a single unit. Things were more quiet then. They have since expanded to occupy the unit next door and there's a larger table, standing room only. Weekends are crowded. To put things in perspective, if you're used to Starbucks/Coffee Bean type sugary concoctions, there's none of that here. You're not going to get sugar to go with your 5oz coffee. Coffee like this is a bit of an acquired taste. It's a little like buying expensive headphones, if you can't hear the difference between the Sennheisers and the $20 Sonys, perhaps it's not worth dropping the dollars on the former. I can't tell the difference for wine, but I can for the coffee (and the headphones). I look forward to buy more beans by the bagful. Dennis, Jiamin, keep doing your thing. P.S. I saw Dr Leslie Tay (of ieatishootipost fame) in the store one weekend, and I was told it was his first visit there and he doesn't really drink coffee...

As one of the earliest coffee joints to surface, Nylon Coffee Roasters is also one of the earliest cafes to set up within Everton Park. With limited seating space when they started out, they have since expanded to include a big communal table and a few more seats. Their research laboratory where they experiment with different coffee beans! The 6oz White Coffee ($4.50) is made using their own Four Chairs blend, that provides a creamy and balanced taste. The coffee tasted milky, while still maintaining the strong taste. Being a roaster, their coffee beans and blends can be found in other cafes as well. If you are around the CBD / Everton Park / Tanjong Pagar area, why not visit their main shop instead?

Nylon is a rather tiny place with essentially no tables/sitting, so don't expect to really hang out comfortably here. I know close to zero about coffee-making, but I think that Probat machine they have in the back room looks pretty cool. Like it's the heart & core of their operations. One of the very few coffee places that are open on Mondays, along with Stranger's Reunion and Toby's Estate. Parking: You'll see many cars parked illegally around the back of the blocks. Not sure how "safe" it is, so I usually park at the multi-storey behind which anyway has a linkway (level 2B I think) straight to Nylon .

What can I say about this place? You put lovely co-owners with mean coffee-making skills, a good machine (I love vintage), a quaint location and you'll get the quirks of a good coffee spot. We didn't get to catch much because there was a sudden wave of people coming in - that's quite scary considering how small the place is but everyone seemed to find their space. But we managed to get ourselves each a cup of capp. Well-pulled, none of the bitter aftertaste and a good creaminess to it. I'll head back on days when there are desserts!
