Dutch Colony is a homegrown specialty coffee roaster that has been serving Singapore since 2013. Known for sourcing and roasting its own beans, the brand has picked up a string of accolades over the years, including multiple medals at the Australian International Coffee Awards and wins at local barista and brewing championships. Its cafes serve an all day brunch menu alongside expertly brewed coffee, ranging from classic espresso based drinks to creative concoctions like fruity iced tonics and cold brew mixes. Popular brunch picks include hearty toasts, croissants, waffles and a well loved French toast, all served in a clean, minimalist setting that feels equally suited to a quiet coffee break or a weekend catch up with friends. With several cafes across the island, plus its own roastery and barista academy, Dutch Colony is a solid pick for anyone who takes their coffee seriously but still wants a relaxed, unpretentious brunch spot.
