Kurasu Singapore

Kurasu, which means ‘to live’ in Japanese, is a specialty coffee café from Japan. Its overwhelming success in Japan propelled an overseas branch in Singapore, where it has now found homes at Waterloo Street and Grange Road. There’s a reason why it draws a crowd: it has a space that’s minimalistic yet artsy, friendly baristas and service crew, and of course, fragrant hand brews and espresso-based drinks. The ceremonial matcha is worth a try too.
