There's nothing like getting a hit of caffeine in the afternoon - but goodness knows how it feels when you're only stuck with bad coffee to try and satisfy that craving. If you're in the Raffles Place area, take heart. Oriole Espresso & Brew Bar has just opened at Republic Plaza.

Primarily serving espresso-based and single cup filtered or brewed coffees, the focus for this intimate java joint is on extracting the best flavours in quality coffee. There's a daily brew that changes everyday so you can try a different taste each time. There's also the Piccolo Latte made of double ristretto and steamed milk and the Taisho Milk Coffee, a Japanese-style cold coffee topped with fresh milk.

And if you love your coffee so much, then head over to their Brew Bar from 2.30pm to 5.30pm on weekdays to learn and appreciate the art behind traditionally brewed coffee. Pick from four types of coffee, whether it's the Single Origin or Single Estate) and the brewing method you want to use, French Press or Pour Over (cone filter) to make your coffee and taste the differences.

Along with specialty coffees, you'll also be able to munch on gourmet sandwiches, like the roast beef sandwiches served with a variety of fillings, plus salads, pastas and freshly baked items. Those with a sweet tooth will love the peanut butter and jelly muffin, the apple cinnamon, pecan streusel muffin or the traditional Philadelphia blueberry cheesecake.

Oriole Espresso & Brew Bar is located at 9 Raffles Place #01-23/23A, Republic Plaza. Tel: 64383843
