There Was No Coffee 本来不该有 is an intriguing coffee concept hailing from Shenzhen, China. Recently, they have made their mark in Singapore with their first-ever outlet at Orchard Gateway Somerset. What sets them apart is their unique selection of coffee flavours that venture beyond the conventional. Unconventional choices like Avocado Latte, Grape Latte, Watermelon Latte, and even Durian Latte grace their menu.

The inspiration behind this unconventional union of fruits and coffee stems from a desire to offer healthier and more wholesome options compared to the sugar-laden and artificially sweetened coffees commonly found in China. By infusing fruity elements into their brews, They Was No Coffee aims to create a delightful balance between healthiness and sweetness.

At There Was No Coffee, traditional favourites such as Latte and Flat Whites take a backseat, while cold drinks reign supreme. It might seem like there is a complete absence of coffee at this outpost, given the emphasis on refreshing and chilled beverages. Coconut lattes, durian lattes, mint chocolate lattes, and banana lattes are just a few examples of the creative concoctions you can expect to find here. Personally, I tend to gravitate towards drips and flat whites, but those who appreciate cold drink delights will be spoiled for choice.
