Fans of the popular Coexist Coffee Co. can rejoice at their latest outlet in the East! Coexist Coffee Co. Paya Lebar officially opens on March 1, 2022so you don’t have to travel to their OG branch in Hillview for your cup of coffee.
Coexist Coffee Co. first gained traction when it opened in a nondescript industrial building to the west, with striking red and white interiors that screamed IG-worthy. Subsequently, the local brand launched its second branch in a more central location along Keong Saik Road.

The massive two-story cafe sees moody monochromatic interiors offset by warm, woody elements for a chic and cozy vibe. As this outlet is the largest to date, there are plenty of spaces available. Hang on to a counter seat or go up to the second floor for more privacy.
