Have heard of this shop for a long time and this is the very first time here. Very welcoming charming shop, shop was very helpful in answering my choice questions of which local beans to get. End up getting the $16/kg kopi powder that has no corn filler. Nice local kopi using mocha pot.

I bought a pack of Columbia Washed Sidra Las Margaritas about 3 weeks ago as a recommendation from owner when i asked to try something which is abit more acidic with fruit notes. This is an absolutely delectable medium roast pack of beans. I brewed using pour over methods like Tetsu Kasuya's 4:6 method and was able to hit all the flavour notes of this pack easily. Lam Yeo is the place for both specialty and ordinary coffee. The roast was well done and homogeneous. I spreaded the beans and i did not see unroasted beans and it was truly a single origin coffee that i purchased. I definitely recommend those who are into coffee or even learning, or want a recommendation of which coffee to try at Lam Yeo

If you’re serious about coffee beans for home espresso or drip, Lam Yeo is in a league of its own. Most Nanyang coffee places focus on traditional roasts, but very few carry beans that work well for good Western-style espresso or filter coffee. Lam Yeo somehow manages to have it all. Whether you’re after rich, bold chocolatey profiles or brighter, fruit-forward beans with berry acidity, there’s always something interesting to try. Great selection, knowledgeable staff, and one of the rare places that genuinely caters to both traditional and specialty coffee drinkers.

Love love love everything about the decor of the shop including the fixtures like the owners; aged with grace. Down to earth, not pretentious and mind you, they are not replicas. So much character like the owners (young and old) for the eyes to feast on. Most of all the coffee beans are so aromatic that it draws you to the shop from half a mile away. I am not a coffee drinker, know next to nothing about coffee beans hence I have a 1001 questions to determine which suits my hub’s taste. They were patient with my inquiries, straight to the point. Not pushy on closing a sales which i value highly nor did they mind if I didn’t purchase on my first visit. But I returned with my partner several days later and again, they were accommodating with our request on packaging. I chose to support local and happy with my decision as the quality of their coffee is way superior than what you get at Starbucks.

Owners are friendly and coffee smells wonderful. Large selection and very reasonable prices. Certainly nostalgic feel and honest service — I asked for 500g of the best selling and aunty bagged me up one of the most reasonably-priced ones; she could have told me the $20 / kg was best selling but gave me the $8 / kg and I appreciate her honesty. If you're reconsidering due to TLC's scathing review, ignore that person; they gave 5 stars to Wingstop. I prefer to support local.
