Our take: The Coffee Roaster Cafe is a popular spot within NUS, praised for its quiet atmosphere and good coffee.
We note consistent positive feedback for their coffee, with the Iced White ($4.70) frequently highlighted as a strong, affordable option.
The cafe offers ample seating, both indoors with charging spots and outdoors, making it suitable for study or casual discussions.
While the staff are generally polite and the environment bright and clean, a recurring point of contention is the cafe's default use of disposable cups for dine-in, particularly for iced beverages.
This has led to disappointment among patrons concerned about environmental impact, even though hot drinks can be served in ceramic upon request.
We also observe mixed reviews on their matcha latte, with some finding it grainy and poor quality for its $5.20 price point.
We'd recommend sticking to their coffee offerings, especially the Iced White, and being prepared for disposable serveware if opting for cold drinks.
Best for a reliable coffee fix and a conducive work environment on campus.
