Singapore

On the Tyrwhitt Road roastery cafe that gave Papa Palheta a public face, and is still, more than a decade on, where a lot of Singapore drinkers first met specialty coffee.

On a Martin Road brunch institution that wrote the city's flat-white grammar, trained a generation of baristas, and supplied the beans behind half the third-wave cafes, and that now belongs to a different owner than the one who built it.

On a French bakery that arrived in a heritage neighbourhood, rewrote the city's idea of what a morning pastry should be, and now belongs to a different owner.
