21 years ago, Starbucks changed every Singaporean’s perception of coffee. (Fun fact: Starbucks landed on sunny Singapore in 1996!) Ignore the naysayers, Starbucks IS the most popular coffee joint in Singapore. Who knew we needed Unicorn Frappuccinos and 1 for 1 festive drinks?
Here are some of the best Starbucks outlets in Singapore that are also the best meeting places, quiet studying corners, and convenient rest stops.

A definite favourite among NUS students at any time of the day and week (it’s open 24/7!) for getting work done. If you ever need a place to study with your books and laptop, this is the place to go. Although it can get a little crowded, it is still quiet and conducive for studying. There is also wide access to power points, such that there are at least 4 power points near each table.

Open 24/7, Starbucks at Northpoint is also another great place for your late-night studying sessions. It is also a stone’s throw away for those living in the North, conveniently located in Yishun.

This Starbucks outlet offers, undoubtedly, one of the most scenic views in Singapore.

If anyone’s idea of being chill is to be atas about your coffee, you’ve got to visit this outlet.

The coffee is made by rigorously trained Coffee Masters so you will be sure that the cup you get was made with good hands.

The hundredth and the most enthralling outlet of the list. Spacious with a great view of Esplanade and Marina Bay, no other outlet is able to top the majesty on this one here.
