Star Coffee is a humble coffee stall nestled within the Bukit Merah Central Hawker Centre, serving traditional Nanyang-style kopi and teh to the surrounding community. It is the kind of stall where regulars have their orders memorised and the brew is poured with practised ease from a sock filter. The coffee is robust and aromatic — the sort that wakes you up without needing to be fancy about it.Alongside the beverages, Star Coffee offers the usual array of local breakfast items — kaya toast, soft-boiled eggs, and simple snacks that pair perfectly with a hot cup. The Bukit Merah Central Food Centre setting provides covered communal seating, making it a comfortable spot to linger over a morning kopi or grab a quick pick-me-up during the day.
Prices are firmly in hawker territory, keeping it affordable for daily visits. For residents and workers in the Bukit Merah area, Star Coffee is a reliable fixture for that essential morning ritual. Nothing pretentious, just good local coffee the way it has always been made.

Great price, very friendly owner, good coffee. Price is incredible given that the owner uses an espresso machine for it. No additional charges for takeaway, which is unheard of nowadays. My go to place for coffee if there's no time or strength to get to Alchemist.
