Disappointing Experience at East Coast Park Coffee Bean
We visit this Coffee Bean location quite often and usually enjoy the sausage and eggs. Unfortunately, today's visit was very disappointing. The sausage was served cold and wasn't appetising at all.
This isn't the standard we're used to from Coffee Bean, and it really detracted from the experience. Hoping this was just a one-off, but it definitely left us dissatisfied.

The SG60 set was SOOO BAD!!!! The half-boiled eggs were microwaved; the egg whites on the edges were cooked, but the rest of the yolks and whites in the centre were totally raw. The eggs were not soft-boiled as they should be in hot water. The butter in the Kaya toasts were small chunks taken directly from the blister pack and not spread nicely. Some salad leaves were also weathered. Overall, I felt very unsatisfied after eating the meal. I was hungry after a workout, so I had no choice but to eat it. This is a real injustice to the local Kaya toast set. This is my favorite haunt at ECP, and this is the first time the breakfast promotion has been such a letdown. The staff were empathetic and compensated me with a croissant and coffee. Their service is always good

Hi Team,
Just wanted to say that your café is one of our favorite spots as a group of friends — the food is always excellent, and we absolutely love the atmosphere.
That said, we’ve noticed that the upholstery could use a bit of attention. It hasn’t felt very clean to sit on lately, and we feel a refresh (cleaning or replacement) would really bring the space back to its best.
Hope you don’t mind the feedback — we love coming here and want to keep enjoying it!

1. Very polite and efficient manager on March 7th. The premises are always clean and condiments are topped up under his watch.
2. The kitchen chef is consistent over the years. Scrambled eggs are done perfectly, and nothing is overcooked or undercooked.
3. The coffee baristas got it right, at least for me.
4. Not one of the, but the most value breakfast in town. No junk in it, only the essentials: beans, eggs, salad, and the occasional meat depending on the menu. It's perfect.

If you are a DBS cardholder, you get $2 off with a minimum spend of $10. Plus, you get a free cup of Americano, Tea, or Bottled Mineral Water. A good promotion in my books The promotion ended on 31 Aug 2023.
This 24-hour outlet looks inviting and contemporary after its renovation. It's a great place to chill and have a nice meal and cakes near the beach.
Indoors are very comfortable with the sofa and padded seats. My only complaint is that the air conditioning is way too cold. It's better to prepare a shawl or jacket if you dine indoors.
I like to dine outdoors here in the evenings, and it's not hot as they have installed many ceiling fans
The staff are friendly and efficient. As for food, I usually go for their Chicken Mushroom Fusili, which is quite tasty.
I can’t drink coffee and tea after 2 pm. Thus, I usually just drink their complimentary water. I love that they do not charge for hot or cold drinking water.
Tonight, I decided to try their sugar-free Swedish Berry Cold Brew. It tasted great!
Food is not complete without a sweet ending I decided to try their Yuzu Osmanthus Cake. It wasn't too sweet and was really delicious
I’m writing this Google Review at CBTL right now #tgif
Lastly, they have relaunched their rewards program. Just scan the QR code at the cashier and download the app to your phone.
CBTL can get very crowded on weekends and public holidays. It’s almost impossible to get a seat indoors on weekends. I don’t usually sit indoors as it’s way too cold. I prefer to sit outdoors.

Rating Breakdown:
• Service: 5/5 (Friendly, welcoming staff; excellent recommendations)
• Drinks: 5/5 (Delicious Cold Brew Tea Twin Cup and ice blended mocha)
• Ambiance: 5/5 (Lovely, relaxed atmosphere, perfect for a cycling break)
After a pleasant stay at M Social, Donkey and I were cycling home, enjoying the Singapore breeze. We decided to take a break at The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf in East Coast Park.
The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. I was particularly impressed when they introduced me to their new Cold Brew Tea Twin Cup, a seasonal offering. Intrigued, I tried it, and it was delicious, a refreshing and unique twist on a classic. Donkey opted for an ice blended mocha (whipped cream-free, of course!).
It was the perfect pit stop on our journey home, fueled by friendly service and tasty drinks. The East Coast Park location offers a lovely, relaxed atmosphere, perfect for a cycling break.
