Killiney Kopitiam is going places — California in the United States, specifically.

The local coffee and toast chain opened their doors to customers at the end of September, according to their Facebook page.

Here's what the store in Palo Alto looks like, complete with a wall mural of supertrees that resemble those from Gardens by the Bay:

The same user waited around around 70 minutes for their food, and that's after returning in the evening due to long queues in the afternoon.

The store also sold out of char kway teow at around 5:30pm.

Here are some photos of the dishes and beverages, such as char kway teow, roti prata, kopi, yuan yang, and laksa:
