Supposedly established by Ivan and Eunice Ting in December 2023, Vernacular Coffee is a chill cafe, a cozy space for coffee connoisseurs and pastry lovers. Devoted to specially sourced single origin coffees and freshly baked viennoiseries, Vernacular Coffee is also a great place to get some work in.

Ambience at Vernacular Coffee is moody and minimalist, the high ceiling and dark shades of stone illuminated by natural light. Eclectic yet comfortable furnishings are sparsely littered around, good for relaxing or working. There's free wi-fi and power sockets along the walls, and I observed groups holding meetings here.

Service at Vernacular Coffee is friendly and bubbly. The mostly young staff are quick to take orders and offer recommendations, demonstrating passable product knowledge. The barista is mostly hard at work, and their latte art can be creative at times. Cleaning up is performed quickly when diners leave.

Food at Vernacular Coffee is focused on coffee and French inspired pastries. Freshly baked daily, the dishes feature creative ingredient combinations. Their single origin coffee beans are unique, from uncommon locales. Portions are sized for individuals. Prices are typical of a cafe, budget about SGD $18 per person.
