OldTown White Coffee's last Singapore outlet set Sunday 11 October as its final day

For OldTown's Kallang Wave regulars, the nearest white coffee under that name is now across the Causeway.

If OldTown White Coffee was your Kallang Wave habit, the habit now needs a passport. The Malaysian chain named Sunday 11 October as the last day of trading for its final Singapore outlet, the one by the stadium that outlasted Farrer Park, East Coast and Novena, after more than 12 years. After that, the nearest white coffee under the OldTown name is across the Causeway, which for a lot of regulars was half the point in the first place.

The company puts it down to the lease. Madeline Tay, head of international business at JDE OldTown F&B Group, told Bernama that the landlord chose not to renew, despite negotiations. “We were not able to reach a mutual agreement for extension,” she said. The farewell on social media on 2 October came “with a heavy heart”.

For a certain kind of Singaporean the brand is a small time capsule, from the years when its Malaysian menu and white coffee were an easy mall lunch across the island. The Kallang Wave shop was the last of those outlets standing.

It may not be goodbye for good. Tay said OldTown “does not rule out the possibility of returning to Singapore in the future when opportunities arise.” Until it does, the next OldTown is a trip north, and the farewell post seemed to know it: it hopes “our paths will cross again at one of our OldTown outlets across the region.” If it was part of your pre-match routine at the stadium, that routine needs a new first stop.
