We are a retro-chic, independent espresso bar dedicated to the craft of making fine artisanal coffee. Our mission is to provide the best caffeine kick in town, to be enjoyed alongside our cakes and pastries, baked fresh using only premium ingredients. Our hearty all-day breakfasts, sandwiches and salads make us a great lunch or dinner destination, and come nightfall, we are the perfect place to kick back with some friends over a couple of beers, or a glass of wine.black was founded by a few friends who were fanatical about coffee, food and vintage furniture. We first opened our doors at Hitachi Tower in May 2009, and soon established ourselves as one of the hippest places to meet and unwind in Raffles Place. In the same year, we decided to bring our concept to Singapore’s shopping belt, and opened our second branch in the freshly renovated TripleOne Somerset in December 2009.
