My former boss invited me over to check out a coffeeshop specializing in Singapore breakfast specialties ~ a newly-opened outlet actually owned by the family of an officemate of ours. After partaking of their menu items in one sitting, I can very well say I can’t just get enough of their breads, tea and coffee. It’s my newfound addiction, and the only thing that’s keeping me from going to this cozy kopitiam every single day is that it’s in faraway Quezon City.
The star of the show is undoubtedly the kopi bun which is like a huge monay, only that it has a sweetish coffee crust and a creamy filling inside. The perfect accompaniment for this is their Singaporean coffee which has what looks like condensed milk at the bottom. It’s supposed to make the coffee sweet when you stir it, and the blending is just perfect. The pairing of the kopi bun and the tea or special coffee will only set you off by P70 bucks which is already the price of a 16 oz drink in the more famous coffee chains.
Kopi Roti’s other offerings are just as irresistible – the “roti” French toast which is best eaten with a couple of half-boiled eggs in special soya sauce and the “roti” kaya toast, a crunchy pairing of sliced toast with butter and kaya spread. Kaya, I was told, is the Singaporean version of our coco jam. It’s colored lime green and is described as a sweet coconut egg jam.
I will post no disclaimers for this place. Kopi Roti is definitely a must-try for its taste, the freshness of its breads and its down-home affordability.

OMG! that looks delicious. i’m a sucker for desserts that involves coffee. i hope when we finally visit it’s still there. *cross my fingers*
Surely, Dexie..the place just opened and I believe will branch out soon:)
i was able to introduce some friends to this place last week when i was home, and yes, they loved it. now, they have one more reason to visit Singapore – to have an authentic one of kopi-o kosong and the kaya toast! but i swear, the one in QC is really as good as the ones you get from here in Singapore.
Soulmate and I will check it out soon! 🙂
Hi Owen. Bilib ako sa radar mo, it’s so updated considering that KopiRoti is newly-opened.
Don’t forget to try, Dr. E. It will remind you of the Singapore trip with soulmate;)
whoa, they have roti there, too! here in sing, there’s a bake shop selling buns with caramelized coffee and ang sarap!!! ayan, more reasons for you to come over!
hi tin. actually, the owner discovered the buns & coffee in hawker’s place. i really want to go to singapore ..i heard it’s such a lovely place for food-tripping. and it’s one good reason to see you, haha
This tiny kopi joint is quite near the office (close enough to visit daily) so when I read about it here my wife and I visited it immediately!
The tea tarik is very good too.
I don’t think they serve anything salty there, except for the poached eggs.
Thanks!
You’re lucky you’re near the place, Paul… I wish they could have a branch in Manila soon so I can have my daily caffeine dose. I can’t quite forget their coffee:)
hey! i’m also a caffeine junkie…but i haven’t tasted kopiroti’s treats yet… i’ve watched them (tecson couple,the owners) once in net25 and i’ve seen their teas and buns and stuff…i’m so interested in having a franchise. is that possible? do they have a website? the only thing i got is their contact numbers, but i think that’s not enough. sana tlga may website cla… i’m (and my mom!) really dying to have a kopiroti branch here in cavite! hope you can help! thanks!:grin:
ajay i went to kopi roti yesterday. had my caffeine fix.. gosh.. ang tagal ko nang nakikita yang kopi roti na yan ngayon ko lang na try! ang sarap ng kape!
i love Kopo Roti! i wish that a branch would open in the Ortigas area … I would definitely be one of their everyday customers 😛
hi!! ang sarap ng kopibun nyu I Love Kopibun
I WAS a fan of kopirotti as I especially loved their tea. However, my last visit annoyed the hell out of me. It wasn’t the food that made me vow not to go back to Kopirotti (Blue ridge branch), but their irresponsible management. The staff apparently had left wet paint on the side of the counter parallel to where the customers would stand to take their orders. There were NO cautionary signs or warnings from the staff. And the corridor being so narrow, it was inevitable for anyone to bump into the painted area of the counter. I was wearing my favorite newly bought black pants then. And the paint was white. So much for customer care.
