In the heart of Singapore, where skyscrapers meet vibrant cultural corners, The Sundowner offers a one-of-a-kind workshop that transforms coffee lovers into artisan roasters. Located at 705a East Coast Road, this trailblazing experience invites participants aged 13 and above to get hands-on with coffee like never before.
This 1.5-hour session unfolds in The Nomad’s Tent, a quirky desert-themed bar, or its lush garden rooftop when space allows. Here, casual coffee aficionados learn the nuanced journey from raw bean to cup under the guidance of an expert in-house barista. Beyond typical coffee tastings, you’ll witness a live coffee plant, giving a rare glimpse of coffee’s true origin before venturing into roasting. Using a traditional coffee roasting drum over fire, you’ll personally roast your batch, grinding beans by hand and experimenting with brewing methods including pour-over and moka pot.
What makes this experience stand out in Singapore’s bustling food and beverage scene is its immersive, tactile approach to the world’s favorite brew. Unlike commercial coffee chains or automated machines, this workshop returns you to the source, unveiling the art and science behind every sip. The intimate group size—capped at eight participants—ensures personalized attention, making every roast unique.
After roasting, you get to enjoy your freshly brewed coffee alongside fresh bagels, pairing the rich aromas with simple but satisfying flavors. You also take home a 40-gram packet of your roasted beans to recreate your coffee at home, a lasting souvenir from a rich sensory journey.
Singapore’s tropical climate poses no barrier to this indoor-outdoor hybrid experience, inviting both locals and travelers to slow down and savor the coffee ritual. It’s particularly special for those who want to deepen their connection to the beverage beyond the cafe counter, diving into its environmental, cultural, and craft elements.
For visitors staying in Singapore, East Coast Road presents easy access and a vibrant neighborhood to explore after your session, filled with eateries, parks, and beachside views.
Whether you’re a coffee novice or an enthusiastic connoisseur, The Sundowner’s roasting workshop demystifies the process while delivering genuine craft coffee skills.
