Baristart Coffee Singapore (Tras Street)

About Baristart Coffee Singapore (Tras Street)

BaristArt Coffee is a Hokkaido-based concept café built around exceptional imported Hokkaido milk - specifically BIEI Jersey milk from Brown Jersey Cows. It started out in June 2015 in Hokkaido, Japan, as a simple coffee stand where visitors could learn about the milk produced there and its relationship to Japan's coffee scene. Since then, it has grown into a full lifestyle café serving coffee, desserts and savoury food.

In Singapore, BaristArt Coffee operates from its Tras Street location in Tanjong Pagar, alongside outlets at Sentosa (40 Siloso Beach Walk), Wisma Atria on Orchard Road, Keong Saik (at The Working Capitol), and Hill Street (at Pullman Singapore Hill Street). Every outlet centres its menu on the same rich, creamy Hokkaido BIEI Jersey Milk, running from lattes and matcha drinks through to brunch dishes, Japanese pasta, rice bowls, soft serve, and signature desserts like the bear-shaped Shiro Kuma shaved ice and the iconic Hokkaido Cream Puff.

BaristArt Coffee also offers island-wide delivery, a coffee mobile cart option, and franchise opportunities, and its Tras Street and Sentosa outlets operate on a walk-in-only, no-reservations basis.

BaristArt Coffee Singapore: A Taste of Hokkaido Dairy and Coffee

BaristArt Coffee traces its roots back to a simple coffee stand in Hokkaido, Japan, that opened in June 2015 with a focus on telling the story of Hokkaido's milk and its place in Japan's coffee culture. Since then, the brand has grown into a full lifestyle café, now with several outlets across Singapore, all built around the same core ingredient: BIEI Jersey milk from Brown Jersey Cows, imported from Hokkaido.

The Hokkaido Dairy Difference

At the heart of BaristArt's menu is its commitment to Hokkaido BIEI Jersey Milk - rich, creamy, and lightly sweet - used across beverages, desserts and savoury food. The café's Featured Menu highlights this with its signature latte, which uses the milk to create bespoke café latte art paired with high-quality coffee beans. That same milk shows up throughout the drinks menu, from the Baristart Latte and Hokkaido Iced Coffee Blend to the Matcha Latte and even a BIEI Jersey Milk Babycino for younger guests.

Brunch, Pasta and Rice Bowls

BaristArt's food menu runs well beyond coffee. Brunch favourites, available until 4pm, include the BAC Breakfast, Steak & Egg, Eggs Benedict, Avocado Open Toast, and Japanese-style French Toast in Mixed Berries or Maple and Butter flavours. The Chef's Selection features rice bowls and a burger built around Hokkaido ingredients, including the Hokkaido Aged Wagyu Don - milk-aged wagyu flank served over Hokkaido Nanatsuboshi rice with yuzu whipped cream - alongside the Menchi Katsu Beef Burger, Obihiro Butadon, and Zangi Don. The Signature Japanese Pasta range includes the rich, creamy Hokkaido Carbonara alongside Wafu Pasta, Kani Mentai Pasta, Smoked Salmon & Shiro Negi Pasta, Kaisen Shiso Pasta, and Udon Carbonara.

Desserts Built on Soft Serve and Custard

Dessert is where BaristArt's Hokkaido milk really shines. The Hokkaido Milk Soft Serve range spans classic cups and cones through to sundaes and a Coffee Jelly Softo made with the café's own espresso jelly. The Sweet Jar collection serves up rich, creamy desserts like Matcha Strawberry Pudding and Valrhona Chocolate Pudding in a glass jar, while the Iconic Cream Puff - including a Tras-exclusive Pistachio Chocolate version - remains a longtime crowd favourite. For something more theatrical, the Shiro Kuma shaved ice is served in the shape of a bear with vanilla ice cream and assorted fruits.

Coffee to Take Home

Beyond the café menu, BaristArt sells its own coffee to take home, including Baristart Coffee Capsules and 200g bags of its Baristart Blend and rotating Single Origin beans - guests can ask their barista about the current single origin selection.
