Craftsmen Coffee - Siglap Road


               Almond Latte with a Dark Chocolate by the Side 

             A gem of a coffee joint to celebrate life and have a chat with friends on a Saturday morning. Craftsmen Coffee is just the place. Located at Siglap Road, (new building opposite Siglap Centre) and beside the Cold Storage, Craftsmen Coffee boasts about a dozen brews ranging from your Espresso, Amaricanos, to Lattes to Teas.  My friends Looi and Tom joined me for a morning 'talk cock session'  (banter amongst the 'boys')  and the prices were very economical ranging from 5 to 6 dollars for a cuppa. Teas were starting at 4 dollars.

          Compare this to your chi chi place Tiong Bahru Bakery, this is the better place to relax and unwind after a long hard week chasing orders, managing issues big and small and making short trips to the region for work. There is not as much people coming in and out of the coffee establishment, which is manned by many young baristas mostly in their 20s. 

           The breads, like croissants (I tried one) were not as fresh as the Tiong Bahru Bakery but the coffee and the ambience was the main factor drawing the crowds, mainly young professionals, to sit and chill. 

         I would recommend it if you have an hour or two to unwind at the East Coast
