About Common Man Coffee Roasters
Common Man Coffee Roasters is one of Singapore's most respected specialty coffee names, with its flagship Martin Road cafe opened in 2013. The cafe serves specialty coffee, all-day brunch, housemade desserts, natural wines and retail beans, with a large industrial-chic space in the Robertson Quay area. It is popular, so it is not the quietest choice at brunch peak, but weekday mornings or off-peak afternoons can be excellent for laptop work with a serious coffee alongside.
