Third-wave coffee roasters at Hong Lim with single-origin brews
Generation Coffee Roasters is a specialty coffee stall at Hong Lim Market and Food Centre, bringing third-wave coffee sensibilities to a traditional hawker setting. The stall roasts its own beans, offering a rotating selection of single-origin coffees that highlight the distinct flavour profiles of different growing regions. The menu features pour-over and espresso-based drinks, with the emphasis on letting the coffee's natural characteristics shine rather than masking them with excessive milk or sugar. The stall at #01-59 represents a growing movement of specialty coffee hawkers who are elevating the quality of coffee available in Singapore's food centres. Generation Coffee Roasters sources green beans directly and roasts them in small batches to ensure freshness and consistency. The Hong Lim location attracts a mix of CBD office workers and coffee enthusiasts who appreciate the convenience of hawker-centre pricing paired with specialty-grade coffee. The brand also operates an online store and supplies beans to other cafes.Based on 184 Google reviews

Gotta give credit where it's due. I ordered iced teh, 25% sugar yesterday. Perfect balance of tea, milk and sweetness. The taste, creaminess and aroma are unique from the standard chain kopi shops in Singapore (which are too watery), more …

It is a must try. Located in hong lim level 1, you would see this little shop that sells traditional kopi, teh, matcha latte and western coffee. As someone that typically chooses western coffee over traditional kopi, I decided to give their traditional iced kopi c siew dai a try. It was very gao, sweetness was just right, and well balanced kopi with the milk. For 2.60, this is value for money. Most people in the queue also ordered their traditional kopi, so highly recommend their kopi if it is your first try!
