SINGAPORE – The home cafe scene in Singapore is exploding, with hundreds such businesses set up since the start of 2025. Home-based cafe directory Acuppa has 523 listed on its website, up from just five one year ago.
However, most home cafes are only open on weekends and often located in housing estates and flats. This makes it mostly inconvenient for students to patronise them.
If you are a student craving a coffee fix near your school and feel like trying something different from your run-of-the-mill coffee shops, TL;DR susses out five different home cafes open on weekdays which might just be located near your chosen institute of higher learning.

Tucked away on the first floor of an HDB block in Woodlands is Ziffy Kopi Estate, a home-based cafe located a mere 10-minute walk from Republic Polytechnic (RP).
Customers need to use the cafe’s website to select their drink and a time slot to pick it up. Payment is made online by card or through payment app PayNow.
