Singapore's coffee culture runs on two tracks: the traditional kopitiam serving kopi, and a fast-maturing third-wave scene that now rivals any in Asia. The modern movement traces back to Chye Seng Huat Hardware in Rochor, the flagship of homegrown roaster Papa Palheta, and to Nylon Coffee, a tiny Outram bar with an outsized reputation.
