Traditional Nanyang coffee stall at Alexandra Village pouring robust kopi, teh, and kaya toast the old-school way.
Uncle Mak Cafe (传统咖啡) is a traditional coffee drink stall at Alexandra Village Food Centre, specialising in Nanyang-style kopi and teh pulled through a cloth sock filter, just as it has been done for generations. The stall serves the full range of local coffee and tea variations, from kopi-o and teh-c to kopi peng (iced coffee) and yuan yang, alongside simple toast with kaya and butter.The appeal of Uncle Mak lies in its adherence to the old methods: strong, aromatic brews made from beans roasted with sugar and margarine, producing that distinctive Nanyang coffee flavour that is hard to replicate at home or in modern cafés. Prices remain firmly in hawker territory, making it an affordable daily ritual.
If you want a proper cup of kopi that tastes like it should, Uncle Mak Cafe at Alexandra Village is where the brew is honest and the tradition is alive. It is coffee, the way Uncle would make it.

Uncle Mak serves one of the best local kopi! The kopi is smooth, fragrant and potent. Not bitter after taste. Excellent.

I've been patronising this stall for as long as I've been in Singapore. Ice kopi is great for 1,50! Also, I was trying to pay today but my PayNow wasn't working, but the uncle told me I could have it for free... I was in a hurry so couldn't properly thank them but it was such a nice gesture🥺 …
