Percolate

One of the best cafes in east Singapore. Add to that the reasonably priced coffee and food, Percolate is one of the top in my list, always and any time of he day.
Being close to the MRT, its very easily accessible. It also has a huge HDB parking lot besides, so you always get the cheapest parking too
Did I mention the coffee is just great?! and The staff is super friendly and helpful

One of the best neighborhood cafes in Singapore. Percolate is located just a stone throw from Bedok Interchange — take bus no 222 or 14 and stop at the second bus stop from the interchange. Turn right towards Bedok Avenue 3 (just a short walk, merely 30 meter) and you’ll see the shop right in front of you at the junction.
As mentioned, it’s a neighborhood café, meaning it’s located on the ground floor of a HDB flat. Small, intimate and customers seem to be more of a regular type although hipster wannabes do drop by over the weekend. Percolate definitely reminds me of Nylon coffee at Everton Park where it’s not just about getting your business but the owner actually takes the interest to talk and get to know you more. It’s like dropping at a friend’s place for coffee after meal. No pressure at all.
Alvin, the owner is friendly and will never fail to greet you as you enter. I’ve never browsed through the food menu but the croissant with savory filling seems like a crowd favorite so do try that if you’re here for proper meal. Cakes and pies are stellar. I’ve tried the honey lavender cake and it was really good. Now, the coffee. They 2 regular blends are from Papa Palheta and Nylon roasters and while I dislike coffee from Chye Seng Huat hardware (they’re just horrible), the blend used here (sorry forgot the name) is pretty good. Four Chairs by Nylon is my to-​go coffee all the time but occasionally i’ll go for the former. Besides these two, there’s always «guest» beans for you to try. Right now, there’s Common Ground (one of the best roasters based in Jakarta), so if you’re bored with the local blend, do give it a try!
Service is always prompt and friendly, Percolate is the best you can get in the east, hands down.

Great coffee, Friendly staff. What more can you ask from a café. Coffee is always good and they have a nice range to choose from. From the ordinary Americano, mocha, to a flat white to a latte. And they even have drinks for the peeps that don’t take caffeine. They have sodas and coolers.
They have nice snacks as well. Would really recommend their croissants. The curry egg mayo one is my favourite. Fresh, flaky croissant stuffed to the Brim with egg mayo. Certainly a meal in its own. The cakes they bring in are also fresh and tasty. And did I mention it’s always a big piece. Goes very well with that subtle cup of coffee.
And if you need a place to get some work done, it’s a great place as well. With good wifi, and comfortable seating. But please practice some basic courtesy, come in and do these when they are not so busy, and don’t hog the tables for too Long as well. It’s a café and seatings are limited.
All in all, it’s a great café. And it’s one I can call home. Great job guys.

An excellent place for a coffee break! It’s always a bonus to find baristas who know their coffees and give good recommendations to go with your desserts.

I find Bedok a very sleepy neighbourhood (not a bad thing!) and I think it’s nice that they have a café like Percolate nestled in one of their HDB areas.
As it’s the only «hipster» café in this block, it sticks out, but not like a sore thumb. Walking in on a Sunday during the late afternoon, it was packed and we actually had to wait a few minutes for a seat. The crowd was mostly locals, surprisingly no ang mos around.
I ordered their macchiato while Migs had a kaya pandan croissant (or something along those lines.) The barista was upfront with me and told me that their macchiato is not like the Starbucks version and it’s served as an espresso shot. I’m thankful for his heads up because I would’ve been one of those who’d think the former!
The shot was really strong for me. I think it’s what kept me up that night, forcing me to research buying a bike in Singapore (oh God, I think I’m slowly turning into a hipster!) I tried a little of the croissant and it was good. Not mind blowing, but simply the perfect afternoon snack.
Very chill, local spot with strong coffee. I’d come back again.

Stumbled upon this café and since I’d heard of it, thought I should drop by for a try. I love the interior! Use of clever partitioning, bright colors and shelves infuse this café with a modern Scandinavian feel and prevents it from looking and feeling cramped.
Really love the coffee (I’m on my second cup as I’m writing this). Also a plus point — I’ve been sitting here for an hour now on a Saturday morning. Steady customer flow but nice acoustics, the A/​C isn’t so cold as to chase people away and no one’s asked me to leave. Joy!

I like here!
Nice coffee, quiet, lovely environment, friendly staff.
Perfect for working alone with laptop.
Good. Really loving it. Recommend to try the Mocha! Just $ 5. Better than Starbucks
Fresh flower on every table.

Super friendly baristas and even friendlier prices! Definitely coming back for more :) Props to you percolate!

Coffee menu is brief, but all are well crafted. Iced white coffee is really good. Cozy for a short quiet get together, parking is relatively easy, plenty of spaces. Have a range is deserts on display.

Café in da hooood!
Always wanted to head down to try their coffees but oh man, the hours are never in my favour.
…Up till I managed to skip work! Heck yeaaaaaaah…
They don’t serve soy lattes but they do a good brew.
Though I’m not a big fan of African coffees, I find them too acidic and whiny*…
But hey, it ain’t bad. My tip would be grab a cuppa and enjoy them with any of their cakes.
But before we tried their cakes, like any sane person I ordered lunch first.
Had the smoked salmon with wasabi served in a croissant.
Its alright.
.usual kick from the wasabi but not memorable.
The cake I had was the lychee cream one.
Kinda dry, they look pretty and awesome but… I’ll pass it up when I’m there next time round.
Good service though it can get cramped but the coffee is their saving grace.
*winey or is it winey… Wine like…

I was surprised to learn there is a café in my neighbourhood. Boo-​yah! The place is easily accessible if you come here by car, bus or even by foot. The carpark is so big that I envy those HDB residents living there.
Staff service was tip-​top; friendly bunch of blokes. The café was just of the right ambience. It may look small from the outside, but I felt the place was cleverly and nicely put together that you don’t feel cram like some cafes I’ve been to.
Coming to the edibles, I had their chocolate tart, ice-​cream topped brownie and white iced coffee… Nice! All nice! No complaints. Will definitely come back.

Excellent coffee. Stopped by for a takeaway, hence I didn’t get to try the food. From I saw seating is a little cramp and cakes are slightly higher than normal pricing. A red velvet is $ 6? Was eyeing the chocolate coffee tart which is $ 4.50. I ordered a 5oz flat white that came with one shot of espresso. Added one more shot for 50¢ which was decent. Think that cup sizes should be bigger. 5oz was slightly bigger than a vending machines Milo cup so I finished that in like 5mins. Sizes there only come in 3 or 5oz. Compared to Starbucks, 8oz (tall size) this was really tiny. Latte art is good. Service is really good too. They should ask though if you’d like sugar or something while ordering. Guess I’m used to that in the cbd area. Coffee was smooth and I find worth the money but like I said, bigger portions please.

Opened about a few weeks back by a barista who worked previously in Loysel’s Toy, Percolate has already gained a name for itself. Selling sandwiches, cakes and coffee, this place is flooded with people during the weekends (which is why I chose to go there on a weekday!)
It is interesting to note that the bakes and drinks here comes from various sources. The bakes and cakes here comes from Cakestand, a bakery located at Katong Shopping Centre that also operates an online order system. The pastries are from French bakery BAO. The tea comes from local tea company Amuse Projects, and the coffee? Papa Palheta’s Terra Firma blend (of course!)
The drinks and sandwich menu is rather simple.
There is a high tea set which cost $ 8.50, consisting of any cakes + coffee/​tea. The Chocolate Cake ($ 6) here feels firm and tasted great. Chocolate lovers will definitely like this.
The 5oz White ($ 4) tasted strong and smooth, but may not suit those who don’t want their coffee to taste too acidic as this one can be slightly stronger.
Given their location (near the Bedok Town Centre), it is easy to visit the place especially since other cafes around Bedok are further inwards in Fengshan and doesn’t really specialize in coffee.

Its about time Bedok has a niche café. the staff are friendly. the cupcakes is nice and i simply loved the 5oz coffee. will definitely hang out here again.
