about diff

A specialty coffee bar worth seeking out

Diff is a specialty coffee bar in Singapore, tucked inside Local Chapter, a kopitiam at CT Hub 2 on Lavender Street, in the Lavender and Kallang area, a short walk from Lavender MRT. It is run by an award-winning barista and focuses on doing a few things well: proper espresso, single-origin filter coffee, and matcha.

What makes Diff stand out is the contrast: cafe-standard specialty coffee served from a sleek bar hidden inside an everyday food court, with its own roastery behind the brand. It has been featured by Time Out Singapore, Eatbook, HungryGoWhere and Daniel Food Diary as one of the city's notable specialty coffee spots.

Looking for one of the best specialty coffee places to visit near Lavender or Kallang? Diff is an easy recommendation: order an espresso or a single-origin pour over, try the matcha, and take a bag of freshly roasted beans home.

There is also a pairing few places can match. On weekdays before 2pm, you can enjoy authentic local Singaporean food from the surrounding Local Chapter coffeeshop - chicken rice, nasi padang, yong tau foo - alongside your specialty coffee. And every day before 4pm, you can add a Kali Kali Bagel, a butter-crust bagel brand featured across local media, to go with your Diff coffee or matcha.
