Pinhole Coffee Bar - 27 Purvis St

Love the decor! Great place for a 1st date ;) Ordered the white double shot. Coffee doesn’t seem strong enough tho. If you like more milky coffee, this is a place to be.

Chanced upon this newly opened joint after lunch in the area. Gorgeous minimalist interior decor in white and wood. Warm owners running the establishment. Limited food option. A lovely place for your daily cup of joe.

Simple but pleasant decor, decent coffee and iced choc. Their baked items were good also - I ordered two of the choc. Chip cookies which were high-quality and tasted great. No kombucha/fermented tea was available when I visited. 3.5 stars rather than 5 as the welcome and service was lacklustre. Staff seemed pre-occupied. Their card machine was not contactless for all cards which both frustrated and annoyed me, as apparently only HSBC cards require a PIN number for all transactions?!? Staff only told me this after two previous attempts to complete payment failed with a non-apologetic, 'you should know' tone. Sort this out ASAP team. I also wish that staff mentioned the tasting flights which i've seen other customers have been offered as first time visitors. Poor customer interaction from the team during my visit.

Great coffee and bakes. Had their “Hello, good morning” and Their espresso and latte both was great. My wife love their V60 coffee too. We had the sea salt brownie and it was great balance of taste.

Chanced upon this coffee house and decided to give it a try. Since it was my first visit, I got the tasting set which consist of a single shot of espresso, white coffee and palate cleansing cold brew tea. The set paired very well with a slice of their banana cake.

Pretty neat space to have a cup of coffee and just to hang out. Would give a higher rating but customer service between the baristas and the customer were not very genuine. Would do a takeaway next time but definitely not to hang out there again. Was not very inviting.

Came on a Thursday for a lunchtime cuppa and the place was pretty empty, only 2 other patrons aside from myself. Had a basic flat white (S$5) and managed to have the only table to myself (there’s other counter seats and wall seats). I saw another review saying it’s the best coffee they’ve had in Singapore and wow, not exaggerating but this is definitely one of the best I’ve had. The latte art wasn’t the most impressive (I definitely expected something more fancy) but look at that milk frothing color, that perfect consistent light brown and no bubbles is something I rarely get in Singapore cafes, definitely a sign of a very good pour. Temperature was spot on also, not the burning hot that I can’t drink on the spot kind. Also, I appreciate the small effort in using Aesop hand wash and a nice flower pot in the toilet.

Really enjoyed the coffee there, quite a nice ambiance as well - the outside reminded me a bit of nylon coffee with the wooden box as a table. Simplistic and good coffee - would want to go back again sometime. I had an iced oat white which was full bodied and the milk was creamy! Good stuff.
