OLLA is a Singapore coffee company that began in 2011 as Singapore's first mobile coffee catering company, founded by Hee Wei, a barista champion from the Singapore National Barista Championship. Since then, OLLA has grown from a mobile coffee catering business into a coffee bar and kitchen, now operating within the Clementi and Bidadari communities, while still guided by the same mission of serving better coffee.
OLLA is home of the 2022 Singapore Barista Champion, and has continued to feature guest baristas and champions behind its bar, including the 2025 Singapore Barista Champion and team members competing in national events like the Singapore National Brewers Cup. The brand describes its purpose as pursuing better taste and being part of creating a better community within the neighbourhood, one cup at a time.
OLLA currently brews at two locations: OLLA at Clementi, at 381 Clementi Ave 5, and OLLA at The Woodleigh Mall, facing the hawker centre. Beyond its cafes, OLLA also runs mobile coffee services for weddings, corporate events and private functions, along with a dedicated office barista offering, and hosts OLLAKASE, Singapore's first coffee omakase experience.
OLLA's story starts in 2011, when founder Hee Wei, a barista champion from the Singapore National Barista Championship, launched Singapore's first mobile coffee catering company. The idea was simple but deliberate: great coffee is about pleasure and enjoyment, and being able to taste something delicious when you need it most is both crucial and therapeutic.
What began as a mobile coffee company has since grown into something more rooted. OLLA now operates as a coffee bar and kitchen within two Singapore communities, Clementi and Bidadari, while holding onto the same founding mission: to constantly strive to bring better coffee to the community by working with like-minded people.
OLLA currently brews at two locations. OLLA at Clementi, based at 381 Clementi Ave 5, and OLLA at The Woodleigh Mall, facing the hawker centre. Each has become part of the everyday rhythm of its neighbourhood, a place to take a break from a busy life with a great cup of coffee and a meal.
OLLA carries the title of home to the 2022 Singapore Barista Champion, and that connection to competitive coffee has continued well beyond that year. The team has hosted the 2025 Singapore Barista Champion as a guest barista, and team members like Melvin have gone on to represent OLLA on the national stage, competing in events such as the Singapore National Brewers Cup. It's a thread that runs through the brand: behind every cup is a level of precision and passion shaped by genuine competitive craft.
One of OLLA's standout offerings is OLLAKASE, described as Singapore's first coffee omakase experience. Rather than a simple cup of coffee, OLLAKASE guests are taken through a curated tasting, with past editions featuring 3 to 4 unique drinks paired with a dessert, hosted with guest baristas and collaborators. Seats are limited and the experience runs by RSVP, with past editions selling out and drawing crowds eager to see award-winning baristas at work up close.
OLLA regularly brings in limited-time offerings to keep the menu fresh, from a Christmas blend curated in collaboration with Tad Coffee Company to guest shifts from notable names in the local coffee scene. At Clementi specifically, OLLA has also teased an exclusive coffee-meets-dessert creation, blurring the line between the two.
OLLA hasn't left behind its mobile coffee roots. The brand continues to offer mobile coffee services for weddings, corporate events, and private functions, bringing the same quality and craft to events outside its two physical locations. For businesses wanting coffee on tap day to day, OLLA also offers a dedicated "Your Office Barista" service.
OLLA at Clementi brews from 8am to 4:30pm, closed on Mondays, while OLLA at The Woodleigh Mall is open daily from 8:30am to 7pm. For the latest announcements, operating hours, and event updates, including OLLAKASE sign-ups, OLLA encourages customers to follow along on Facebook and Instagram.
From a single mobile coffee cart in 2011 to two neighbourhood coffee bars and a growing reputation built on competitive coffee talent, OLLA has stayed close to its founding idea: coffee as something to be enjoyed, shared, and woven into the rhythm of community life.
