Editor’s Note
Last updated 21 Jul 2026
Connect71 Cafe, nestled slightly off the main thoroughfare in NTU, is a popular spot, especially for students and staff who benefit from a 10% discount.
We've noted consistent praise for their coffee, with a black coffee priced at $3.50, and specific mentions of its chocolaty, velvety profile.
The dons, particularly the Mackerel and Beef, are highlighted as good value and tasty, making them a go-to for a post-exam treat.
While the Japanese-inspired noodle dishes might be on the smaller side, the overall quality for the price is generally well-received.
However, we've also seen reports of inconsistent service, including instances of staff being perceived as rude and handling customer feedback poorly.
The cafe can get quite busy around 11 am and during lunch, leading to crowded indoor spaces.
We recommend visiting after 1:30 pm if you prefer a quieter environment, or utilising the often-empty outdoor seating, though it lacks adequate shading.
Overall, it's a solid option for a good coffee and a reasonably priced meal, especially if you're an NTU affiliate.

What customers say
Connect71 Cafe is highly regarded for its affordable and quality coffee, particularly the long black, and delicious, value-for-money donburi bowls like mackerel and beef.
It's a popular study and hangout spot for NTU students and staff, especially with the 10% discount.
However, service consistency is a concern, with one instance of rude staff behavior and poor handling of customer complaints regarding early closure.
