CS Fresh Gold at Dempsey Hill is the Tanglin Road outpost of the CS Fresh store family operated by Cold Storage, one of Singapore's most established grocers. Located at #B1-101, 163 Tanglin Road, the store pairs everyday supermarket convenience with the range of the wider Cold Storage network, which spans fresh produce, meat and seafood, a delicatessen, dairy and chilled goods, a cellar of beer, wine and spirits, and household essentials.
Shoppers can browse in store or online at coldstorage.com.sg, where free delivery applies to orders over $80. The online shop rounds out the shelves with a Coupon Centre, Weekly Ads, Carton Deals and the handpicked CS Recommends selection, alongside rotating fairs such as the Japan-Korea Fair and campaigns like The World's Greatest Toast and Project Makan.
For Dempsey Hill residents and visitors, it is a practical stop for the weekly shop and a handy one for a good bottle from the Cellar Selection, quality deli picks or fresh produce before heading home.
Set at #B1-101, 163 Tanglin Road, CS Fresh Gold sits on the basement level of a Dempsey Hill address that trades in calm rather than rush. It belongs to the CS Fresh family of stores operated by Cold Storage, one of Singapore's most familiar grocery names, and it carries that promise in a more polished setting: a proper supermarket for the Tanglin and Dempsey neighbourhood, backed by a national sourcing network and an online shop that reaches the whole island.
For shoppers, that means the everyday departments are done properly. There is a fruit and vegetable section for the week's cooking, a meat and seafood range, a delicatessen for cheeses and cured meats, and a dairy and chilled run covering milk, yoghurt, butter and eggs. Household supplies round out the aisles so a weekly shop can happen in a single sweep, and the 'Gold' in the store's name signals its place at the considered end of the CS Fresh range.
The Dempsey Hill setting gives the store a particular rhythm. Dempsey is a destination in its own right — people come to the area deliberately, for the greenery and the dining — and a proper grocery anchor fits neatly into that pattern. Expect a mix of locals doing the serious weekly shop and visitors topping up with quality produce or a bottle before heading home.
The Cellar Selection is where many visitors head first. It gathers beer, wine and spirits under one banner, from everyday staples through to premium bottles — Chivas Regal 12 Year Old in its 70cl format is one of the whiskies featured on the Cold Storage online store. Between fairs, the standing aisles hold plenty in the fresh departments, the deli and the chilled run.
Around the standing departments, the retailer runs rotating campaigns that give regulars a reason to keep browsing: a Japan-Korea Fair devoted to Japanese and Korean groceries, a Project Makan initiative that shines a light on local food, themed campaigns such as The World's Greatest Toast, and a Eu Yan Sang range carried through the same shelves. Promotions come and go too — recently, a free Magnum keychain was offered with a minimum spend of $45 on Magnum.
A good part of the CS Fresh experience now lives at coldstorage.com.sg, the Cold Storage online store. Delivery is free once an order passes $80, and the site layers savings over everyday prices through a Coupon Centre, Weekly Ads and Carton Deals for bulk buyers. Ordering follows the usual online routine: build a cart, apply coupons from the Coupon Centre, and check out. The CS Recommends section does the curating for you, surfacing handpicked items each week, and because the online catalogue draws on the same network range as the stores, it is a handy way to preview what the Dempsey Hill shelves are likely to carry.
One practical note: the website does not publish opening hours for this branch, so it is worth checking the Cold Storage store locator for the Dempsey Hill store's latest details before setting out. The address to aim for is 163 Tanglin Road, #B1-101. The store itself is built for purpose: get in, fill the basket with good produce, pick up a bottle from the Cellar Selection, and get on with the day.
Whether you are a Tanglin resident doing the weekly shop, a Dempsey visitor choosing wine for dinner, or an online customer chasing free delivery, CS Fresh Gold rewards a list — and it rewards a slow walk down the deli and cellar aisles, too.
