Traditional Nanyang coffee roasted fresh at Tiong Bahru Market — the authentic taste of old Singapore.
Yong Seng Coffee Powder is a traditional coffee roaster at Tiong Bahru Market that has been supplying Singapore's signature Nanyang coffee for decades. The stall roasts and grinds coffee beans using traditional methods, producing the bold, aromatic blend that fuels the nation's kopi culture. Whether you prefer the robust traditional roast or a slightly smoother blend, Yong Seng offers the authentic taste that commercial chains simply cannot replicate.
The stall sells coffee powder by weight, making it easy for home brewers to recreate the hawker centre kopi experience in their own kitchen. Prices are refreshingly affordable, and the aroma alone is enough to draw passers-by in.
The Tiong Bahru Market location ensures a steady stream of loyal customers who know where to find the real thing. For coffee purists who appreciate the unadulterated taste of traditional Singapore kopi, Yong Seng Coffee Powder is a treasure.

Bought the traditional blend and love it. Drinking it every morn to perk me up before heading to work.

Great place to buy your coffee - no matter if you like them as beans (as I prefer), or grounded - all is made to perfection. The roasting consistency is top class... the coffee knowledge, service with a smile and honesty also top class. …
Alicia Ng
Friendly service and they will recommend a blend to fit your preferences. Excited to try the beans. Do note that minimum purchase is 300g.

Clean set up and boss speaks English. Very helpful to explain and recommend the types of kopi they have.
