20grams Coffee Roastery is a cafe at 14 Arumugam Rd, #01-05, LTC Building C, Geylang, Singapore, and its name says it roasts coffee. It holds a 4.4 Google rating from 393 reviews.
A cafe that roasts its own coffee has more control over what ends up in your cup, so it is worth asking what beans are on offer and how they taste. Descriptions such as fruity, nutty or chocolatey are a useful guide, and a good barista will help you choose between a milk-based drink and a black coffee or filter. Fresh roasts are usually at their best within a few weeks, so if you buy beans to take home, ask for the roast date and how to grind and store them. Industrial and business buildings like LTC are quieter than central cafe strips, and weekday mornings are often busiest with people working nearby. Regulars tend to try a different bean each visit.
For anyone in Geylang looking for a carefully made coffee, 20grams on Arumugam Road is a well-reviewed place to visit.
