About Rookie's Coffee Shop

Rookie's Coffee Shop is a neighbourhood specialty coffee bar and micro-roaster based at 123 Bukit Merah Lane 1, Singapore, built around a love of coffee and the unique flavour experiences shaped by the lands each bean is grown in and the people behind them.

Rookie's Coffee Shop: Specialty Coffee and Micro-Roasting in Bukit Merah

Rookie's Coffee Shop is a neighbourhood specialty coffee bar and micro-roaster based at 123 Bukit Merah Lane 1, Singapore, built on a genuine love of coffee and the flavour experiences unique to each bean.

A Love for Coffee, from Bean to Cup

Rookie's is drawn to the way coffee's flavour is shaped by the land it's grown in and the people behind it. The team treats these ingredients with care throughout the process — roasting, brewing and sharing each coffee with the people who walk through their doors.

Small Wins, Big Milestones

Rookie's has steadily built its reputation in Singapore's coffee scene. The team was crowned Champion of the Singapore Aeropress Championship in 2019, before opening their original Coffee Bar 1.0 in 2022. In 2023, they returned to the Aeropress Championship as a finalist, and in 2024 opened Coffee Bar 2.0, the shop's current home.

Filter Beans and 'Spro Beans

At the heart of Rookie's offering is its own coffee, roasted in-house and sold as Filter Beans for those who brew at home with pour-over or filter methods, and 'Spro Beans for espresso lovers. Alongside its coffee, the shop also offers a range of branded merchandise for regulars who want to take a piece of Rookie's home with them.
