I limit myself 1 cup of coffee per week and usually I go to Alchemist Tai Seng.. but today their milk steamer machine is down and they don't serve hot latte. No choice but to try out Huggs coffee nearby and it is just mediocre.

Bought a cup of teh c less sweet but the taste turned out to be tasteless, no presence of tea. Requested for a new cup and it tasted the same. The person in charge simply used the same pot of tea to brew. Simply couldn’t make it. They shouldn’t have included tea in their menu when water tastes better.

I recently ordered the oat masala tea, expecting a distinct masala flavor, but it didn't taste like masala tea at all—it was just regular teh. The leaflet clearly states "Oat M x T," which indicates oat masala tea, but both the appearance and taste were indistinguishable from regular teh. The service was fast, and the staff, all young and efficient, were commendable in their quick service. The lady who prepared the drinks made four hot drinks at once, but three of these, including mine, seemed to have the same ingredients. I had ordered two cups—one teh and one masala tea—but they were made the same way, with the only difference being the use of oat milk in the "masala" tea. I saw her add oat milk but didn't notice any additional powder or mix that would distinguish it as masala tea. It appears this was an oversight. I also noticed that there was little to no communication between the staff and the cashier, which could have contributed to the mix-up. I hope this issue can be reviewed and improved to ensure a smoother process in the future. On an upnote, the teh tastes good though!

beautiful Scandinavian-inspired decor and plenty of seating, making it a great place to work or relax. It's also conveniently located near a restroom. The Archipelago Cold Brew is punchier and more robust than Starbucks cold brew, so it's a perfect choice for coffee lovers who prefer a stronger roast. I highly recommend this cafe and will definitely be back again.

Came over for quick coffee/ tea and muffin. We had the Iced Sumatra coffee, English breakfast and blueberry muffin. Everything was served within 2 min of ordering. The staff was sanitising the tables and keeping hygiene check. I think it's a good place for a quick bite.

Coffee and tea is okay, a little too sweet for me. Staff are friendly despite having a queue and many orders. Place can get quite stuffy and a little hot during lunch peak hours, hard to get a seat. Its packed till full house on weekdays during lunch hours.

Their coffee beans are really good and you can taste that in their coffee. I used to order cappuccinos and 95% they served it hot and strong. And the coffee aroma lingered in the whole car. One does not need to have an extra shot. Have not tested their food so this review is solely for coffee.

It's a nice place to take a break. It's gets noisy during lunch time but other than that its quiet. I like to their Tumeric Latte and Lemon Grass Ice Tea. For their cakes, tried the red velvet cake. It's sinful because of the cream, otherwise it tastes good. Prices are reasonable and location is convenient as Tai Seng MRT is just at the basement.

Huggs Coffee at Tai Seng: Your reliable caffeine haven in the area. Expect consistently well-crafted coffee, from classic lattes to seasonal specials, with a noticeable attention to detail. The atmosphere is modern, cozy, and relaxed, offering comfortable seating for various needs. Service is efficient and friendly. Beyond coffee, they offer decent pastries and light bites. Overall, a solid choice for quality coffee and a pleasant ambiance in Tai Seng.

Service was great! Ryan is a real gem here. He was helpful and detailed in choosing a brew as their hot Sumatran (read local) coffees and teas aren't available after 5.30pm. The cold Masala tea was yummy despite not being able to adjust sweetness as it was premixed at 6.30pm when I ordered. Also had the carrot cake heated with was lovely with bit of fruit embedded if you leave off the too sweet butter cream like layer on top. All in all a very pleasant evening tea break.

Located at 18 tai Seng. It’s a straightforward coffee place to go before heading to work. Had the caffe latte with oat milk. $6.50 The coffee is undoubtedly good as it’s the nutty and thick milky type with oat milk. Oat milk adds to the fragrance as well. What does disappoint is the lack of option for different sizes of coffee and the takeaway portion is sadly not a full cup. I understand it may be to prevent overflow but less then 3/4 cup is not acceptable. Other than that, it’s a solid coffee place.

Convenient location right outside the mrt station into the tai seng shopping mall. No frills coffee shop with a few seating areas Got takeaway flat white, tasted okay. I think this is almost the only place in the mall that sells western coffee. Haven’t gotten the chance to try their cakes/pastries.

My second visit to this outlet after learning that it doesn’t sell the local drinks on weekends. Tried their Teh (Aromatic brewed Sri Lankan Tea) & loved it. Teh being my to-go drink at different SG shops selling breakfast, I found that Huggs tea are nice and has a unique fragrance to it. 👍🏼 Also ordered a classic butter croissant 🥐 must say that I’ve tasted nicer croissants elsewhere 😅 & it’s decent for a simple breakfast. Located on the first floor above the MRT station, it’s easily accessible by public transport, and it’s right under the carpark & business lobby of the building. Love the chill atmosphere and has ample seating in the morning hours (I reached at 7:45am) Attached the drinks menu pic I took in case you wanna check out their variety of beverages

Many people setup their laptop here but there are few electrical point though. I hardly see them. But most laptop last a day now who bother right? Servers are chill and young. Easy going I supposed. Should be standard with proper training. Looking at tthww amount of people it should be good to have a coffee here
