THE BRAWN & BRAINS COFFEE JOURNEY
Founded in 2013, Brawn & Brains Coffee is a local coffee roaster, bakery, café, wholesaler, and retailer situated in Singapore. Initially, in August 2013, it operated as a small coffee shop of under 350 square feet. Our primary focus has always been to source high-quality green coffee and provide freshly roasted coffee, deliciously baked pastries, and simple yet hearty sandwiches to our customers. Our journey extended beyond our modest coffee shop when, in August 2017, we participated in the Singapore Coffee Festival. During this event, we showcased a selection of our in-house roasted filter coffee and BB Coffee Beer, brewed in collaboration with Rye & Pint Brewery, a local craft beer producer. A pivotal moment occurred in 2018 when we transitioned our micro coffee roaster into a fully operational coffee roastery in Bedok North, which is now completely certified by the Singapore Food Agency for the wholesale distribution of roasted coffee beans. That same year, we opened our second café at 218 East Coast Road. In 2019, we were honored to receive the Bronze award at the Australian International Coffee Awards, followed by a Silver award in 2020. By 2022, we expanded further with a new branch at 16 Hamilton Road and BB Bakery at 673 Geylang Road. Each location reflects the essence of Brawn & Brains Coffee—offering excellent coffee, quality food, and exceptional service where friends and family can gather and enjoy their time together.
At Brawn and Brains Coffee, we believe that every cup of coffee tells a story—a story of craftsmanship, dedication, and the unique connection we forge with each customer. Our journey begins with a passion for coffee that transcends mere consumption; it’s about creating memorable experiences that celebrate the art of roasting and the joy of hospitality.
CRAFTMANSHIP IN EVERY ROAST: Our commitment to quality starts with the meticulous craft of roasting. Each batch of coffee is roasted to perfection, ensuring that every sip delivers a consistent and rich flavor profile. We source our beans from sustainable farms, carefully selecting only the finest quality to guarantee that our customers enjoy the best. Our roasting process is not just a routine; it is an art form that we refine daily, allowing us to maintain the highest standards of excellence. We understand that coffee is not just a beverage; it is a ritual, a moment of connection. That's why we take great pride in our roasting techniques, which are designed to highlight the unique characteristics of each bean. Our dedication to consistency ensures that whether you’re enjoying a cup at home or in one of our partner cafés, you can expect the same exceptional taste every time.
HOSPITALITY AT OUR CORE: At Brawn and Brains Coffee, hospitality is more than just a service; it is the heart of our brand. We value each and every customer who walks through our doors, treating you as part of our community. Our baristas are trained not only in the art of brewing but also in the art of conversation, ensuring that every interaction is warm and welcoming. We believe that a great cup of coffee should be accompanied by genuine connections, and we strive to create an inviting atmosphere where everyone feels at home. Our commitment to hospitality extends to our wholesale partners as well. We recognize that their success is intertwined with ours, which is why we offer comprehensive training and support to ensure they can deliver the same quality experience to their customers. From barista training to ongoing quality assurance, we equip our partners with the tools they need to thrive in their operations.
EMPOWERING OUR PARTNERS: For our wholesale clients, we focus on building lasting relationships grounded in shared values of quality and community. We understand that the coffee industry is competitive, and we aim to set our partners apart by providing not just exceptional coffee but also the knowledge and skills necessary to serve it well. Our training programs cover everything from brewing techniques to customer service, ensuring that their teams are confident and capable. We believe that when our partners succeed, we all succeed. That’s why we are committed to being more than just a supplier; we are a partner in their journey. By sharing our expertise and passion for coffee, we empower them to create memorable experiences for their customers, fostering a love for coffee that goes beyond the cup. In conclusion, Brawn and Brains Coffee is not just about coffee; it’s about crafting connections, celebrating craftsmanship, and nurturing a community. Whether you’re enjoying a cup at our café or serving it in your own, we invite you to join us on this journey—where every sip is a testament to our dedication to quality, hospitality, and partnership.
