Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: Saku Café, a home-based establishment in Hougang, has garnered strong praise for its specialty beverages, particularly its matcha and coffee offerings.

Reviewers consistently highlight the quality of ingredients and preparation, with the Strawberry Matcha being a standout for its smooth texture and balanced sweetness.

The Hojicha Latte and various coffee options, including vanilla lattes and mochas, also receive high marks for their rich flavour profiles.

Customers appreciate the option for less sugar and alternative milk choices, indicating a thoughtful approach to customisation.

While the ordering process is generally described as smooth and convenient, one reviewer noted a minor hiccup with the payment system, suggesting a potential for accidental double payment if not careful.

However, this seems to be an isolated incident, and overall service, including quick replies via Instagram, is commended.

We think Saku Café is a solid choice for those in the Lor Ah Soo area looking for high-quality, well-crafted beverages, especially if you appreciate nuanced matcha and coffee.
