Common Man Coffee Roasters - Martin Road

“I’ve been coming to Common Man Coffee Roasters since 2017 (whenever I’m in Singapore), which feels like a lifetime in café years. What I appreciate most is that the coffee is still consistently solid, the food is as good as I remember, and the place still has that easygoing charm that makes you want to hang around a bit longer than planned. So many places change, chase trends. Common Man has just quietly kept its quality over the years. Always a good meal, always a good coffee and somehow it still feels like coming back to a familiar spot. ☕”

“We were recommended to visit this cafe and we were so impressed. Best coffee and the food was perfect. The service staff were so attentive and helpful. One of us had mushrooms and avocado on toast which was so good and I had the French toast and it was so amazingly good. We were provided a bag to take our leftovers.”

“Been to the Joo chiat common man roasters few times, but first time here at the original strikes different. Food is really good no matter what you choose. Perfect for Sunday brunch as it's also pet friendly. It's pricey though and so is the parking here.”

“I loved this brunch a lot!!! I came by myself on a busy Saturday morning but didn’t have to wait too long. The pancakes were amazing and so was the cappuccino! I will definitely be back next time I’m in Singapore—don’t miss this for coffee or brunch!”

“Wildly popular expat and digital nomad destination around river valley. Also popular for Singaporean ATAS families. Coffee and juice were alright. Place seems very commercial and put together. One step up from the versions they supply to corporate clients. Personally felt that the filter coffee wasn't as good as I'd hoped. For starters, they supplied it in that instagrammable flask and cup pictured below. As far as I can tell, there's no way to pour the coffee out without spilling a good proportion of it, around 10-15% out onto the table. Granted I'm not an expert in tableware. Perhaps it were merely an off batch of beans. Chance befalls us all, sure. The juice came in a woefully tiny container. Sure, I get it, prices are high, Iran etc. but come on, it was barely larger than a yakult bottle. Not even vitagen!! Going the commercial route is fine. And maybe quality suffered because it was crowded. Chye sent huat is a good example of keeping it up. Anyway, perhaps I'm too harsh. The decor was nice, and the no touching sculpture at the door amused me.”
