Visited Coffee Hive at Square 2. Had quite good meals there. Ordered the kaya toast set which was good. The coffee was nicely prepared. The toast is nice. Chee cheong fun was normal but the sauce was nicely done.

This is a Nanyang-style breakfast shop, similar in style to Toast Box and Ya Kun Kaya Toast, but more customer-friendly than the Killiney Kopitiam listed on the "must-try" list. They offer affordable set meal options, and the staff thoughtfully charge customers based on the set meal price instead of sneakily charging à la carte prices for first-time visitors like some opportunistic merchants do. Tourists can try the kaya butter toast, a signature local flavor—though be aware that this combination is quite sweet. The soft-boiled eggs can be seasoned with soy sauce or white pepper, depending on personal preference. However, there are no condiment bottles on the tables outside, so customers must serve themselves entirely. Orders are placed at the front counter, and food is picked up at the self-service collection area in the back, where there is also a relatively spacious dining area. Since all food collection is self-service, first-time visitors may need some time to get used to the process. The young female staff here are generally polite and helpful, especially to first-time visitors—much better than the rude, ill-mannered, and uncultured elderly staff at the Tai Cheong Bakery next door. The overall pricing is affordable, making it a good choice for solo dining. First-time visitors can start with the classic toast + soft-boiled eggs + hot/cold drink combo to get a taste of Nanyang-style breakfast.

Lemongrass chicken rice!!! Tip: cut the chicken into small pieces and mix into the rice.

Ordered their traditional yam toast set. Coffee is very good and the lady staff contributed to this, to a large extent. The other lady staff who took my order is very considerate too. They are friendly, polite and very patient with me (a newbie at this outlet). I liked the traditional bread with its chewiness. It'll be 💯 if there's more yam paste. Overall, a great experience and hence this post. Kudos to the ladies at this outlet!

I am a regular patron here over the past years. The service providers, Yin Yin in particular, always remember their regular customers’ order, and never fail to provide great customer service. They are efficient, especially during the morning rush crowd. The coffee is brewed freshly and the food was prepared to taste. Will continue my support here.
