Cafe-style Java
Burke's Coffee
#01-37, Change Alley, 30 Raffles Place
Established in 1994, Burke's was setup by three guys and a lady, who returned from Seattle five years ago, and they put in their life savings to open their first store. Menu classics include the Teriyaki Chicken Sandwich, Kingdom Roast Chicken, Mount St Helens Erruption, and Original Mocha Freeze. The taste of their coffee beans is somewhat unusual-they have the flavour of local kopi-o.
