Hidden gem in a Marine Terrace hawker centre pouring specialty matcha and coffee.
CORNERSHOP is a specialty coffee and matcha spot tucked unassumingly into a Marine Terrace hawker centre, defying expectations of what a hawker stall can be. This indie cafe concept serves expertly pulled espresso drinks and ceremonial-grade matcha alongside a concise menu of toasts and pastries, creating a surprising pocket of third-wave coffee culture within a traditional hawker setting. It has become a cult favourite among east-side coffee aficionados. The menu features espresso-based drinks using beans from top local roasters, alongside whisked matcha lattes made with quality Japanese matcha powder. Food offerings include kaya toast with a gourmet twist, sourdough toasts, and a rotating selection of pastries. The no-frills hawker setting means prices stay approachable compared to mall-based cafes, and the open-air atmosphere adds a uniquely Singaporean charm to the coffee experience. It is the kind of place that rewards those in the know. For specialty coffee without the specialty price tag, CORNERSHOP is a find worth sharing. Seek it out at Marine Terrace and discover your new favourite neighbourhood cafe.Operating Hours

Interesting stall. Has atypical options including matcha (with strawberry). Be prepared to wait 5-10mins for the drinks.

I visited on a weekday morning at 10 AM. The queue was short, and it took about 15 minutes to order and receive my drink. …

Unfortunately, maybe i made a mistake of ordering a macha latte, a very normal drink. I found it so normal, it tasted just like what i make at home. I should try kopi or matcha with fruits next time.

Such a vibe just standing there observing how the owner prepares the matcha powder.located at 50A Marine Terrace Hawker Centre. …

Got the strawberry matcha and maple hojicha and loved both (the maple hojicha slightly more though)! Lovely blend of flavours and could tell that a lot of care and intention was put into perfecting her recipes. Will definitely come back …
