CS Fresh at The Star Vista brings one of Singapore's most familiar grocery names to the mall's basement level. The branch sits at 1 Vista Exchange Green, occupying units #B1-02 and #B1-35/36 on level B1 of The Star Vista in Queenstown — a full supermarket within easy reach of the homes and workplaces around the Vista Exchange precinct.
The aisles follow the dependable rhythm of the Cold Storage family's fresh-market format: fruit and vegetables up front, a meat and seafood department for the week's mains, a delicatessen of cheeses and cold cuts, and dairy, chilled and frozen staples close by. The Cellar Selection gathers beer, wine and spirits under one banner, while household supplies mean a single trip can restock the kitchen and the cleaning cupboard together.
There's plenty to reward regulars, too. Weekly Ads and a Coupon Centre collect the week's promotions, Carton Deals price staples by the carton, and CS Recommends spotlights featured finds. Themed campaigns rotate through the calendar — a Japan-Korea Fair, a Eu Yan Sang range, Project Makan's celebration of local flavours — and the brand's own site is currently marking a 123-year milestone, a quiet nod to how long this grocery name has been part of Singapore life.
Prefer to skip the trolley? The same categories sit online at coldstorage.com.sg, with free delivery on orders over $80 — handy for bulky hauls or a midweek top-up.
Head to basement one of The Star Vista and you'll find CS Fresh — the fresh-market identity of Cold Storage, one of Singapore's most familiar grocery names. The branch sits at 1 Vista Exchange Green, with the address spanning units #B1-02 and #B1-35/36, a hint that the store takes up a generous stretch of the mall's lower level. For residents and workers around Queenstown's Vista Exchange precinct, it puts a full supermarket run within a short walk of home or the office.
CS Fresh isn't a standalone startup. It carries the Cold Storage name — a brand whose own website is currently marking a 123-year milestone, a reminder of just how long supermarkets have been part of the Singapore routine. That history shows up less in nostalgia than in reliability: the shelves follow the well-practised rhythm of a grocer that has done this for generations, while the shopping itself is thoroughly modern, connected to the brand's online store at coldstorage.com.sg.
The range reads like the plan of a well-organised kitchen. Fruits and vegetables lead the fresh departments, followed by meat and seafood for the week's mains. The delicatessen covers cheeses, cold cuts and easy entertaining picks, while dairy and chilled — with a frozen line alongside — handles the milk, butter and freezer staples most baskets end up needing. Wine and beer shoppers get their own destination in the Cellar Selection, which gathers beer, wine and spirits under one banner, and household supplies complete the picture so a single trip can restock both the fridge and the cleaning cupboard.
The store also plugs into the wider Cold Storage calendar. Themed campaigns rotate through the year: a Japan-Korea Fair rounding up Japanese and Korean favourites, a dedicated Eu Yan Sang range, Project Makan's celebration of local food, and even a World's Greatest Toast feature for bread-and-topping enthusiasts. It's worth checking what's on before a visit — timing your trip to a fair is one of the better reasons to browse slowly.
CS Fresh leans into promotions in a way that rewards regulars. Weekly Ads lay out the week's offers before you shop, the Coupon Centre collects digital coupons worth clipping, and Carton Deals price drinks and staples by the carton for anyone stocking up. CS Recommends curates featured finds across the store, which is a handy way to spot new arrivals you might otherwise walk past. Between the four, a bit of planning can noticeably change what a trolley costs — without ever clipping a paper coupon.
Not every trip needs a trolley. The same categories sit online at coldstorage.com.sg, where orders over $80 ship free — a convenient option for heavy cartons, a midweek top-up, or a big pantry restock you'd rather not carry home yourself. In-store remains the place to choose your own produce, work your way through the deli picks and catch the fairs in person.
Being inside The Star Vista means a grocery run can pair easily with the mall's dining and the pace of the surrounding precinct. One practical note: published hours for this branch aren't listed on the pages reviewed here, so check Cold Storage's store locator for the latest opening times before heading down. Once you're there, the two-unit footprint means the aisles have room to breathe — give yourself a loop past the Cellar Selection before you check out.
