Food Scoops: Kopikhoo At Tembeling Road | Hole-In-The-Wall Takeaway Coffee Kiosk In Joo Chiat

What’s Buzzing? When one door closes, another opens. While there have been a few closures in Joo Chiat such as Kōhī Roastery & Coffee Bar (last day on 1 September) and my beloved Petit Pain, Kopikhoo is a new (literally) hole-in-the-wall takeaway coffee kiosk operated out of a house in the Joo Chiat enclave. The casual coffee kiosk has been making waves on social media and I just have to check it out myself.

What To Expect? Run by an elderly woman in her 70s named Paulin as I understood from an article by 8days, Kopikhoo has a simple coffee menu with prices from S$3. Hot and cold coffee are served, and it is a standard offering of Hot Americano (SS$3.50), Iced Latte (S$4) to the likes of Babycinno (S$3). QR code payment is also accepted.

In terms of the location, it is in the middle of a walking lane along Tembeling Road. If you are coming from Koon Seng Road, make a left turn into Tembeling Road, walk past Forma towards Haig Girls’ School and follow the small banner to the left walking lane that says Kopikhoo.

I had an Iced Americano (SS$3.50) which is surprisingly the same price as the hot version. It comes in a nice and sturdy cup with the logo on it. The coffee is easy to drink and not too robust in flavour if you are looking for something strong.
