Known best for its excellent brewed coffee, the coffee chain has since expanded to cities like Shanghai, Abu Dhabi, Casablanca and Berlin, with a total of 37 outlets worldwide:

There is even a small roastery at the back of the cafe for visitors to sneak a peak at how the baristas roast their beans in-house.

The cafe's menu

% Arabica's Arab street outlet will only serve drinks, and prices will range from around S$4.80 to S$9 each.

The cafe uses beans from countries like Brazil, Europe, Ethiopia and more, giving their coffee a world-class flavour second to none:

🌱 Origin: Hachira, Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia .⠀ 🤹🏽‍♀️ Roaster: %Arabica @arabica.hk.⠀ . 🤓 Notes: another tangerine as it cools down otherwise a sweet Ethiopian brew. Smooth all the way down. Why did I buy just 100g! 🤤 .⠀ Passionfruit ripe this morning too. Happy Sunday everyone :)

Their coffee is also made with Meiji's full cream milk like in their Japanese outlets.

For those who are lactose intolerant, oat, soy or almond milk alternatives are available at S$1 more.
