I pity the only one barista preparing drinks on a weekend at the Lot 1 branch. The long queue waiting... (zzzz). I waited more than 30 minutes for my drinks!

Nice coffee place which can get pretty crowded in evenings. Nice place in weekday mornings where the crowd is much less compared to evenings and weekends.

My lucky day! Attentive, patient, and helpful staff (Hakimi) took my order through my app. As a CBTL member, I claimed a 1-for-1 drink ($8.50) and a 1-for-1 pizza ($12) 🍕 – hassle-free! Once in a while, a great promo comes by, and customer service retains customers and members. The place is clean, cozy, and spacious.

It's a big store with many seats. Mornings are not crowded. It's mostly a bit crowded from the afternoon onward. They play Class 95FM music. Not much is new on the menu. Many come here to relax or study. There are many staff, and service is fast.

Dropped by this Coffee Bean outlet at Lot One on a weekday afternoon for a midday caffeine break, and it proved to be a surprisingly cozy spot despite the mall crowd. 🪑 Ambience & Layout Tucked along the side of the mall's main atrium, the seating here is a mix of comfy sofas and café tables — enough space for individuals, couples, or small study groups. It’s open-concept (no walls), so expect mall noise, but the café somehow maintains a chill, relaxed energy. The air-conditioning was just right — a relief from Singapore’s humidity. ☕ Drinks & Food Ordered a Vanilla Cold Brew Latte and a chicken mushroom fusilli pasta. The drink was strong and smooth with a good balance of sweetness — no burnt taste, which I appreciate. The pasta came piping hot, creamy, and well-portioned for the price (~$11.90). You could tell it had been reheated but not in a bad way — still tasty and comforting. Also grabbed a slice of Chicago Cheesecake to go with it. It was soft, rich, and not overly sweet — paired perfectly with my drink. Honestly, their dessert quality has stayed consistent over the years. 💡 Service Staff were polite and efficient. Orders came out within 5–7 minutes even though a small queue had formed. Tables were clean, and one of the staff was going around clearing trays without delay. 📶 Wi-Fi & Power Free Wi-Fi is available, along with a couple of power plugs near the outer seating. I saw a few students quietly working on laptops — seemed like a decent spot for remote work if you’re not on calls. 🧾 Overall Verdict Coffee Bean at Lot One is a solid choice for a casual catch-up, solo work session, or just escaping the MRT crowd. While it's not the quietest branch, it offers good food, good coffee, and a familiar vibe. Ideal for westies who want their caffeine fix without trekking into town.
