Paik Coffee isn’t new to most by now. At the moment, there are 3 Paik Coffee in Singapore; located at Mapletree Business City, CityLink Mall and Tiong Bahru where we visited. Read on to find out more about the 1-For-1 Promotion and our recommendation.
Korean Celebrity Chef Jong Won Paik is the man behind the Paik Coffe and also Paik’s Bibim which is also beside these 3 coffee outlet too. Paik Coffee is don in a sunshine yellow coat; hard to miss it. At the same time, it gave a youthful and fun vibes too.
Menu at Paik Coffee may not be extensive, however, it is certainly comprehensive, offering a pretty equal amount of coffee versus non-coffee drink option. We love the idea of having a small selection of desserts and bun too.
We started off with 2 hot drinks. First was the Vanilla Latte ($4.50), a coffee with vanilla flavour. I am not a fan of this coffee as it has a characteristics of instant coffee taste. Next was the Green Tea Latte ($4.50). The Green Tea flavour is mild and it has a nice milky flavour.
Moving to the non-coffee drinks. We love the Green Grapes Flower Tea ($5.00). A good balance of lightly sweet and sourish hint was in the drink. Next is the filling SB Smoothie With Froyo ($5.50), great for a meal replacement.
Here comes my favourite, the Iced Americano ($3). The coffee is low acidity with nutty flavour hint, well-suited for the Asian preference. Some may termed it as Ang Moh Kopi-O.
The chocolate flavour in the Iced Chocolate Latte ($5) was weak and stronger malty. Therefore, this drink reminds me of Ovaltine.
We tried a dessert, Red Bean Snowflake ($5.50). The shaved milk iced was muted but was flavoured-up by the red bean and walnut.
Promotion
The 1-For-1 drink promotion is available on weekdays (excluding public holidays) from 2pm to 6pm. The promotion excludes Paik’s Original Coffee (Hot & Cold).

NAHMJ Verdict
Our impression of Paik’s Coffee was affordable & large, in addition, reasonable quality for the pricing. We will certainly recommend the Iced Americano especially for Kopi-O drinkers and Green Grapes Flower Tea for non-coffee drinkers.
