Kurasu is on a mission to spread the beauty of Japanese coffee culture around the world. Their bar inside The Company, a coworking space in Singapore located just a couple of minutes away from City Hall MRT station, is their first shop outside of Japan. It is a simple set up but conveniently accessible to those working inside the building and regularly walking in and out of the space.

It’s very much a neighborhood cafe with a friendly staff that you can chat with, big communal tables for working or hanging out, and an overall easy-going vibe—it’s almost like home to a lot of people. But don’t let any of that fool you into thinking that this cafe is soft on coffee. They’re very serious about the art of brewing, winning multiple awards from different competitions like barista, latte art, and siphon championships. Quite an impressive feat to be able to serve high-quality coffees like the geisha we had prepared by their excellent baristas, all while maintaining a community-driven, relaxed vibe.
At the end of the day, the key to maintaining such a comfortable atmosphere around their space is that they don’t take themselves too seriously, only the coffee.
