Had a rest stop here with friends recently. Ordered some drinks and a cheese cake to share. The ambience is ok, but with lots of patrons walking all around and outside the cafe, it’s hard to have privacy here.
Drinks are normal, not particularly bad or more tasty than other Coffee Bean cafes.

Nice renovation since don’t know how long ago since I last visit Bugis Junction.
The open concept and different style seating are very creative. Good place for coffee and chill out.
However, the waiting time for your order on a Monday 4pm with little crowd, takes more than 10 mins of wait. This is something I find it very ridiculous. Service is too slow for that sense.
They should greatly improve on this aspect. Not just me who find them slow, The customers who ordered before me, also feels the same way.

Despite being understaffed, the staff member who served me was very helpful and attentive when I asked about dairy free options. She made sure to explain the possible dairy found in their products and what I should order if I was allergic or had lactose intolerance. Good service and hardworking staff.

Wanted to visit coffee bean @ Bugis Junction for coffee after lunch. I was carrying a large cup of Koi and staff stopped me from entering, saying that no outside drink allowed. I promised not to drink my own drink, but was still denied entry. The restaurant was almost empty at that time. I told her that she is losing business but still deny my entry saying that my drink may contaminate their food.

Had a really bad service experience on Good Friday.
It was peak hour and there were many students studying, and exceeding the “very strict” dine in time limit of 60 mins.
I had to wait for a table for quite awhile. As the students slowly left for dinner, there were many more visible seats available. A female staff came and asked for our receipt to check the time I ordered, reminding us of the 60mins dine in and implying us to leave. This was despite a student who was beside our table the entire time with his materials who was there since I sat.
This 60mins dine in rule is enforced selectively and only at your staff’s convenience.

We came here in the morning around 7.50am, the aircon is seem not turning on in the mall, quite warm after taking the breakfast.
We came here and saw the deal of breakfast for 2 only $10+ so just give it a shot.
The breakfast is good in portion, the Spanish latte is sooooo tasty! I meant it. The price is worth the value, I would recommend this to everyone. Considered a healthy breakfast which is not expensive and better than most hawker food.

Breakfast was pretty good to be honest.
Indian lady staff manning the counters was friendly and helpful as well.
All was good for my session here and in fact I find it to be pretty good.
No sure why the lower reviews thou from others

Heads-up: good coffee and service, but don’t linger too long!
Stopped by Coffee Bean for a quick caffeine fix and was impressed by the friendly staff and smooth service. My drink came out fast and tasted great—no complaints there. The space itself is a bit tight, and even though there were plenty of empty seats, we were reminded of the 1-hour seating limit, which felt a bit rushed.
Would love a bit more flexibility if it’s not busy, but overall, it’s a solid spot for a quick, quality coffee break.

Comfortable seating space. Tried the new tea option which has 2 flavor. Really refreshing and perfect option to quench your thirst while resting after roaming around in scorching hot Singapore. They also have a swing seating which is pretty unique, sadly hogged by inconsiderate customers. Recommended spot for rest in Bugis Junction
