Sip on a good cuppa at cafés like Dapper Coffee, %Arabica and more in honour of the fun occasion that's celebrated in various parts of the world
If there’s anything that could wake us up on a good note in the morning, it would have to be a delicious cup of joe. Just the thought of freshly roasted beans wafting through the air and having a taste of slightly bitter but well-rounded flavours is enough to make us head out to our favourite coffee joints in honour of International Coffee Day, which falls on October 1.

1. %Arabica
Why? Kyoto’s extremely popular coffee chain—which opened its first local branch in Arab Street this year—was founded by coffee farm owner Kenneth Shoji and award-winning barista Junichi Yamaguchi. The beans are cultivated on the owner’s farm in Hawaii, which are then shipped to Singapore to be roasted daily for superb and well-balanced flavours in every cuppa.
What to order: The iced caffe latte is a robust choice for the right balance of milk and coffee, with an indulgent chocolatey finish. It's a delicious pick-me-up drink, especially in this hot and humid weather.
