301brews is a neighbourhood café at 301 Hougang Ave 5 in Singapore, describing itself as "your new morning routine." The menu centres on coffee, matcha and hojicha drinks alongside banana bread, sourdough bakes and light breakfast options, making it a spot built for regular visits rather than a one-off destination.
Coffee options cover the classics — Latte, Flat White, Cappuccino, Long Black and Mocha — plus house variations like the Raw Honey Latte, Vanilla Latte and Einspanner Flat White. The matcha and hojicha range is where the café stands out, with Iced Matcha Latte, Iced Hojicha Latte, Strawberry Matcha, Strawberry Hojicha, a series of "Cloud" drinks, and richer options like Iced Jeju Matcha and Sea Salt Biscoff Cocoa. For those avoiding caffeine, there's a Strawberry Yogurt Cloud and Iced Strawberry Latte.
Banana bread is a recurring feature across the menu — OG, Double Choc and Walnut varieties, all made with real bananas, coconut oil and Ceylon cinnamon — available by the slice or as a whole loaf with three days' pre-order notice. The savoury side includes Sourdough Foccacia and an Egg Mayo Sourdough Foccacia Sandwich, alongside breakfast oats like the Nutty Choc-Banana Oats, made with oat milk, banana, peanut butter, dark chocolate chips and mixed nuts and seeds. The café also sells Espresso and Hojicha Pouchies — small pre-portioned pouches customers can mix with their own milk at home.

## What They're Known For The coffee menu covers the essentials — Latte, Flat White, Cappuccino, Long Black and Mocha — alongside a few house twists like the Raw Honey Latte, Vanilla Latte and an Einspanner Flat White. But 301brews leans just as heavily into its matcha and hojicha range, which is where the menu gets more distinctive: Iced Matcha Latte, Iced Hojicha Latte, Strawberry Matcha, Strawberry Hojicha, and a series of "Cloud" drinks — Salted Maple Hojicha Cloud, Salted Maple Matcha Cloud and Strawberry Cloud Matcha — plus an Iced Jeju Matcha and a Sea Salt Biscoff Cocoa for those wanting something richer. For caffeine-free options, there's a Strawberry Yogurt Cloud and an Iced Strawberry Latte.
## Banana Bread Is the Anchor Banana bread shows up across the menu in several forms — OG Banana Bread, Double Choc Banana Bread and Walnut Banana Bread — each made with real bananas, coconut oil and Ceylon cinnamon, described as moist, rich and not overly sweet. For those who want more than a single slice, 301brews offers whole-loaf pre-orders of all three varieties, requiring three days' notice.
## Beyond the Bakes The savoury side of the menu is smaller but distinct, built around Sourdough Foccacia and an Egg Mayo Sourdough Foccacia Sandwich. On the breakfast side, there's Warm Cinnamon Apple Oats and a more elaborate Nutty Choc-Banana Oats — creamy oats simmered in oat milk and finished with fresh banana, peanut butter, dark chocolate chips, raw pecans, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds and a honey drizzle.
## A Take-Home Option One of the more unusual items on the menu is the Espresso and Hojicha Pouchies — small 40-45g pouches of fresh whisked hojicha or espresso, lightly sweetened with raw honey, that keep in the chiller for three days or the freezer for three weeks. Customers simply add 150-160ml of their preferred milk to make a drink at home, making it a practical option for stocking up between visits.
## Ordering and Hours 301brews operates with a mix of split and continuous hours through the week — open into the evening most days, with a midday closure on Wednesdays and Sundays, and a shorter Thursday. Orders can be placed online for pickup, and the café also takes enquiries via WhatsApp. Customers can keep up with updates, including temporary closures, through the café's Instagram.
