The folks at Generation Coffee Roasters are certainly at it again — it has been a long while since we have heard these folks opening up a new outlet ever since they had set-up their locations at both Hong Lim Complex Food Centre and Tanjong Pagar Plaza Food Centre to serve the folks in the Central Business District. Their latest outlet is situated within Bendemeer Food Centre which is just a bit of a walk away from Boon Keng MRT Station— the same food centre is also where one can find other notable F&B establishments such as that of Singapore Bao 新加坡包点, One Ton Mee, Indonesia Curry Rice and La Porpo. Just like the other newer Generation Coffee Roasters outlets that had opened in recent times, the stall can be found with its iconic dark blue signboard with the namesake of the stall occupying one corner of the entire signboard. The offerings of Generation Coffee Roasters at its Bendemeer Food Centre outlet closely aligns to what they serve up at other outlets — the menu being sectioned off into categories such as Coffee and Others.

Generation Coffee Roasters is a brand that we had been following ever since its founding at Tekka Centre and we had been to the various outlets across the island which includes that of the ones located in Hong Lim Complex Food Centre, Tanjong Pagar Plaza Food Centre and Pasar 216 Bedok Central before the opening of their outlet at Bendemeer Food Centre. Despite its offering of espresso-based specialty coffee, we hadn’t quite moved on from ordering the variant of the Kopi that they have to offer. Whilst not the first ones to serve up Kopi that is being pulled from the espresso machine within the hawker centre, what we really liked about Generation Coffee Roasters is how they serve up their Kopi using a special blend of coffee beans that is roasted just for the traditional line-up of coffee that they have to offer — the Pioneer Blend that sees a mix of Vietnam Robusta and Brazil Arabica; all that with a touch of sweetness from the addition of condensed milk. The end result is a cuppa that is especially intense; replicates the robust, smoky and buttery notes in the usual Kopi, yet with a transition towards a lighter, earthy finish with that tinge of sweetness that one would usually expect of the standard glass of traditionally-brewed Nanyang Kopi — very unique being a modern interpretation of a classic while aptly embracing the heritage of local Nanyang-style Kopi. For those whom have yet to give their Kopi a go; perhaps its time to do just that!
