Common Man Coffee Roasters, Singapore

Coffee is best with brunch, sometimes.

Located right in the centre of Robertson Quay/Martin Road, a popular expatriate neighbourhood in Singapore, Common Man Coffee Roasters offers great coffee. A collaboration between Forty Hands café (itself the baby of Perth native and master barista Harry Grover) and Australian coffee roaster Five Senses, Common Man has a distinctive, almost Melbournian coffee shop ambiance.

Besides coffee (we had a cappuccino and a single origin Costa Rica drip), the brunch offerings here also dazzle. The French toast was crisp on the outside and pillow-soft when biting into it. Add a drizzle of maple syrup, some fruit, and you have a perfect breakfast.

For heavier fare, there’s their signature Turkish Common Man Breakfast – a soft-boiled organic egg wrapped in deep-fried phyllo, served with cucumber, tomatoes, olives, hummus and pita bread.

Head here for a weekend brunch and excellent coffee with uncommon charm.

Common Man Coffee Roasters，一家近來在星星國很火紅的咖啡館；
由當地著名的咖啡館Forty Hands和澳洲咖啡豆烘焙商Five Senses聯手打造，
從食物到咖啡都呈現出一股澳式風。
來到這裡，如果仔細觀察的話，可以發現從咖啡師到員工都有白人的身影；
而在顧客群中，外國人更是占了大多數。
置身其間，仿佛有種來到國外的感覺。

澳式咖啡館除了提供咖啡外，當然也少不了蛋類的早午餐料理。
當天我們點了兩份早點，兩杯咖啡和一杯果汁。
外酥內軟的法國吐司；淋上一點楓糖漿，再加入一些水果，是我喜歡的早餐。
不過如果可以的話，我會選擇把雪糕拿掉啦。
而另一份Turkish Common Man Breakfast則是這裡的人氣早餐。
裡頭有一樣像點心芋角的東西，切開一看原來是一顆輕煮蛋。
然後在加上炸的外皮酥脆的羊乳酪、鷹嘴豆豆泥、黃瓜、番茄和皮塔麵餅。
新鮮的搭配，豐富的口感，還蠻討人喜歡的。

咖啡方面我們則點了一杯卡布奇諾和一杯單品Costa Rica。
我們覺得兩杯都不錯，不過單品咖啡的選擇並不多，
如果沒記錯的話，當天只有兩種豆子可選。
好喝的咖啡加上豐盛的早點，所以雖然價錢不便宜，
（這一餐吃了70新幣左右，以近來的兌換率，要170多馬幣。。。。）
還是吸引了大批顧客，週末時可能還得排隊呢。

*近來在KLCC對面的Avenue K裡頭開了一家叫Urbean的咖啡館。
聽說他們所用的就是Common Man的豆子，不過我們還沒去試過，不知味道如何。
