At his new cafe, Hasif has expanded his menu offerings to include filter coffee and light desserts like Lemon Thyme and Earl Grey Dark Chocolate tartlets. There are also coffee beverages he used to serve from his window, like White (S$7), brewed with a “GFC seasonal” bean blend that he sources exclusively from local cafe Fluid Collective. Currently, the blend is a mix of single-origin beans from Mexico and Colombia, though Hasif shared that it will change to beans from other provenances when they are in season.
When we ask if prices are higher at his cafe, Hasif confirmed that his menu now costs “a few cents more compared to back at home” to cater for higher overheads. He explained: “That is business, and we are gonna be on GrabFood very soon, but of course the prices differ according to the food delivery platforms.”
He has no further expansion plans, at least for now. He shared: “I want to focus on growing this brand and catch up with all the missed opportunities. But I did receive interesting offers to open another outlet here and also in Australia!”
Ground Floor Coffee is at #01-53 East Village Mall, 430 Upper Changi Road, Singapore 487048. Open Tue-Sun, 10am-8pm.
