A New Take on Coffee
Equate has always equated each cup of their coffee with art, and now they are bringing this same passion and craftsmanship to malls with the introduction of their experiential space. Here you can experience artisanal coffee made with quality and intention – no more run-of-the-mill latte or cappuccino. You can expect unique blends like naturally processed coffees from Ethiopia or washed process from Colombia that will give you an extraordinary taste experience. The baristas are highly skilled in manual brewing methods like V60 Pour Over as well as espresso drinks such as Flat White or Cortado.

Specially for the launch, it has crafted an exclusive 50s Brew, a concoction made of 50% cold brew Earl Grey tea emboldened with 50% cold brew coffee for a half-and-half, before topping it off with a decadent Earl Grey cream.
Equate’s house blend, which will be used in all its espresso-based drinks, will be the Solid Gold variety, made of Brazilian Cerrado and Caldas espresso beans that will win you over with notes of green apple, grapefruit and nuts.
Another thing worth looking forward to is Equate’s Filter Coffee, a repertoire it will change up seasonally for variety.
All beans, while carefully curated and sourced from all over the world, are roasted locally by a local roaster to ensure consistency in quality and flavour. In the coming months, Equate seeks to source for more beans regionally to shine the spotlight on Asia’s offerings.
Artisanal Bakes and Thick Cut Sandos

At the new concept store, look forward to artisanal bakes and signature croissants in an array of shapes to a variety of pastries, each made in-house daily. French butter makes for the lightest, flakiest layers for croissants and pain au chocolat that taste just as they do in France. Taste the croissants with specialty flavours like almond, praline hazelnut, ondeh, cinnamon and bacon & cheese for a full croissant experience. There will also be All-Day Menu for Brunch and Beyond featuring dishes like Shakshuka, Chicken Roulade, Cold Truffle Pasta, Fish Tortillas and more.
If you’re looking for an exciting way to experience craft coffee without leaving the city center, then look no further than Equate’s new concept store at Orchard Central! With its modern decor, cozy atmosphere and delicious menu, it’s no wonder why this spot has become so popular among locals and tourists alike.
