Ground Floor Coffee represents a remarkable entrepreneurial success story, evolving from a viral TikTok home-based business operating through an HDB flat window to a dedicated brick-and-mortar takeaway cafe at East Village. This Muslim-owned specialty coffee establishment, founded by self-taught barista Adhwa Hasif, officially opened its East Village location on September 22, 2024, bringing artisanal coffee culture to the Bedok community through passion-driven brewing excellence.
The carefully curated menu centers on espresso-based specialty coffee with sections including All Day Everyday, Always Latte, GFC Signature, and Milk Based options, featuring two distinct coffee bean varieties for discerning palates. Popular selections include their expertly crafted Flat White ($6) and signature Smooth Mokka ($7.30), while maintaining their viral flavored coffee offerings that originally captured Singapore's attention through social media.
Operating Tuesday-Sunday 10am-8pm at #01-53 East Village, this narrow, intimate space maintains its takeaway essence while providing a clean, minimalist environment conveniently located next to Eccellente by Hao Mart supermarket. Ground Floor Coffee's journey from viral sensation to established cafe exemplifies Singapore's vibrant entrepreneurial spirit and the power of authentic, quality-focused coffee culture.
A nice and cosy place with a friendly barista and well crafted drinks. I really enjoyed the seasonal Zesty Mokka, you get fresh orange zest in every sip! A must try if you appreciate the orange coffee/+chocolate combination.

Got the Rose noir, honey oat latte and iced white latte. As a tourist travelling through SG from California, this place was great. The coffee was fragrant, the espresso was incredibly pulled, and the drinks were all well balanced. 10/10 recommend.

One of the nicest coffee I've drank! Very rich and strong coffee. Options available for non-coffee drinkers also. Strongly recommended!

+ Honey Oat Latte (iced)[$8] featured literal scoops of oats and honey within their latte. The honey offered a tinge of unique sweetness to the latte and the oats gave it a new dimension of texture. The combination was novel but very well executed in perfect balance of flavours and textures. I highly recommend going for this if it is your first time here.
+ Spanish White Latte (hot) [$7.50] is creamy, smooth and leans on the sweeter side. Perfect for individuals looking for a drink with less pronounced coffee flavour. They added a secret spice to this drink for a subtle spice note for an interesting aftertaste.
⭐️5/5 (Amazing quality coffee with novel flavours that you can tell have been practiced and perfected, it's fun, yet does not completely take away the fact that the coffee is of good blend)

A small and cosy coffee place with great coffee! I’ve only tried the Oat White so far but I love it because it tastes so good, and has the perfect blend of coffee with the oat milk and it’s made with care!

really cute corner near tanah merah mrt, just a few seating areas
got the honey oat latte - smooth with oat bits in it which is a nice texture & the spanish latte - which was quite different from what i’m familiar with, it has the creamy sweetness but also a slight spiced taste which balances it out nicely :)
waited about 10 min for our coffee

Coffee stand in East Village started by a couple who used to sell coffee from their home window in Pasir Ris. They're super friendly & it feels like you're getting coffee from mates who genuinely care about your brew. Perfect spot for a quick caffeine fix!

Personal recommendation:
Iced honey oat latte | $8
Smooth & has this robust, non-acidic bitterness that’s right up my alley & the honey oat bit? It actually has chunks of oats in it, which I love. Not too sweet either, just super well-balanced.
