Homeground Coffee Roasters

Homeground Coffee Roasters is a specialty coffee roaster with a coffee bar and shop at 911 Bukit Timah Road. It roasts its own beans and sells them for brewing at home, alongside drinks made at the bar. Its stated aim is to make good coffee feel approachable, whether you are new to it or already grind your own beans.

Homeground began online and as a pop-up, then opened its first café on Joo Chiat Road in 2018. It later moved to a larger shophouse space on Teo Hong Road, which closed in 2024. The brand came back with its current space on Bukit Timah Road in 2025.

What to order

Coffee is the focus here. The bar makes espresso drinks such as long blacks and iced whites, and there is hot chocolate for anyone who prefers to skip the caffeine.

The beans are the other reason to visit. Homeground roasts both espresso and filter coffees, and its range has included beans from Brazil and Costa Rica. On the shelves you will find:

• Whole beans for espresso and for filter brewing
• Drip bags, a simple way to make good coffee on the go
• Brewing equipment and accessories
• Coffee subscriptions for regular deliveries

You can also order beans on the Homeground website and pick them up in person on weekdays. The team will grind beans for you on request.

The setting

The Bukit Timah space is laid out like an apartment, with communal seats and a bar counter. From the bar seats you can watch the baristas at work. Homeground calls the room its Experience Room, and the feel is homely and relaxed.

It is a good place for a slow coffee and a chat with the team about which beans to take home.

Good to know before you go

Homeground also hosts what it calls Coffee Experience sessions in the space. The regular opening hours do not cover these sessions, and the website suggests checking Google Maps for the latest hours before you go. For details of the beans and gear, visit the Homeground Coffee Roasters website.

Nearby

Bukit Timah is one of the greener parts of Singapore. If you are spending a day outdoors, a coffee pairs well with a hike in Bukit Timah Nature Reserve or a walk along the Rail Corridor. For a sit-down meal in the area, LINO at Binjai Park is one option. You can also browse more cafés and bakeries or all restaurants in Upper Bukit Timah.
