Coexist Coffee Co. @Lifelong Learning Institute

“Great lunch at Coexist. Such a pretty place. Seasonings are available to customise your dish to your liking. Flavour was not too strong, but that also meant it wasn’t too jelak. Will definitely try the drinks next time!”

“I had my morning coffee at Coexist on a weekday prior to my course at LLI. There are two types of beans to choose from and I went for 'Nights Out' for my hot latte. It has a full-bodied profile and leans towards chocolatey-nutty creaminess. It's easy to drink, without tasting too strong, bitter or acidic. After gst and service charge, my 8oz hot latte costs ~$6.50. There is only one charging point in the entire cafe, and if you want to sit at the nearest table and use your device while keeping it plugged in, you would need a charger with a longer wire e.g. laptop charger length ok, default phone charger length too short. There is WiFi and the speed runs smoothly for basic work uses. Water is provided in a glass bottle at every table and refillable. The cafe is aesthetic and extra beautiful in the day when the sunlight streams in and lights up the interior, though it can get a little warm or even glaring if you're seated near the glass windows. But personally throughout the 8.30am-10am duration I was there for, seated at the window table, it was still comfortable. Service by the young Malay lady is professional and polite. Thank you for the latte art :) Have not tried their food but looking at the menu, everything seems to be on the pricier side (+gst & svc) so I am unlikely to return for their food. Nevertheless, given the lack of cafes in the vicinity of Paya Lebar and the decent cup of latte they serve, I will recommend their coffees.”

“Salted Egg Ebi Roll was so good because of the salted egg sauce; fries portion was just nice but the pickles portion was a tad little. Ebiko Pasta was delicious too, the prawns were firm and grilled fragrantly. Black pepper crab pasta was kind of salty, thankfully the black pepper isn’t too overwhelming strong in quantity. Overall, there was a 90 mins dining time limit on a Sunday during lunch time.”

“A hidden gem in an industrial building. I ordered aglio olio pasta with sausage and mesclun salad and they taste delicious and the portion is huge! The ambiance is quite ok; I just felt that the music selection is a bit off. Overall, it was a good chill lunch experience!”

“Pasta: the taste is unique. But pasta is not fully cooked. Big breakfast: mushroom is 👍🏻, sausage skin is abit tough to bite. Truffles fries: Normal Fish & chip: the laska gravy is thick and flavourful. Fish batter is bland, must eat with laska gravy. Nanban Chicken Roll: small portion. Crispy breaded chicken. Egg mayo was nice but portion was little.”
