The best cold brew coffee in Singapore is at specialty roasters such as Chye Seng Huat Hardware on Tyrwhitt Road, Common Man Coffee Roasters at Martin Road and Toby's Estate on Rodyk Street, with bottled cold brews from Old Hen Coffee Bar, Strangers at Work and Dutch Colony. Cafes serve it black, white with milk, nitro, flavoured (gula melaka, citrus, orange), or as a cold brew tonic or highball. A cup costs from around $5 at Toby's Estate and $5.50 at hawker stall Sip Sip to about $9 at the premium end. Robertson Quay has two cafes close together. Most close by 4-6pm, so go early in the day.

Your questions answered
Where can I get the best cold brew coffee in Singapore?
Chye Seng Huat Hardware on Tyrwhitt Road (White Cold Brew and Nitro Black Matter) and Common Man Coffee Roasters at Martin Road (Cold Brew filter and Citrus Cloud Cold Brew) have two of the longest-running cold brew menus. For bottled cold brew, try Old Hen Coffee Bar, Strangers at Work's White Magic or Dutch Colony's chilled line. On a budget, Sip Sip at Holland Drive Food Centre sells cold brews under $6.
How much does cold brew cost in Singapore?
At specialty cafes, a cup costs from around $5 (Toby's Estate) to about $9 (Chye Seng Huat Hardware's White Cold Brew, Jimmy Monkey's flavoured cold brews). Hawker stall Sip Sip charges around $5.50, and bottled cold brew such as Strangers at Work's White Magic costs from around $7.50. Cold brew cocktails like King's Cart's Cold Brew High Ball cost about $22.
Is there halal cold brew coffee in Singapore?
Jimmy Monkey Cafe's official site says it is now a halal-certified establishment, but it is not confirmed in the MUIS directory, so check before visiting. The other cafes here are not verified as MUIS-certified, and some serve pork or alcohol. Muslim diners can check the MUIS halal directory or ask the cafe.
What time do cold brew cafes open and close?
Most open between 7am and 9.30am and close between 4pm and 6pm. Chye Seng Huat Hardware (until 10pm), Dutch Colony Frankel (until 9pm Fri-Sun) and King's Cart Bishan (until 8pm) are the later options. Strangers at Work is weekday-only, and Sip Sip closes at 2.30pm.
Which area has the most cold brew cafes?
Robertson Quay and River Valley (Common Man Martin Road and Toby's Estate) have two cafes within a short walk. Chye Seng Huat Hardware (Tyrwhitt Road) and Old Hen (Owen Road) are both in the Jalan Besar-Farrer Park area, Raffles Place has Strangers at Work for office workers, and one-north, Holland Village, Bishan, Queenstown and Frankel cover the suburbs.
What is the difference between cold brew and iced coffee?
Cold brew is steeped in cold or room-temperature water for many hours, often 12-24 or longer. This gives a smoother, lower-acidity and naturally sweeter cup than iced coffee, which is brewed hot and then poured over ice. Nitro cold brew, such as Chye Seng Huat's Nitro Black Matter, is infused with nitrogen for a creamy texture.
