Toast Box (Tampines Mall)

Iconic Singapore kopitiam chain serving traditional Nanyang kaya toast, soft-boiled eggs and authentic wok-roasted kopi. Preserving local breakfast culture since 2005.

Toast Box at Tampines Mall brings you the quintessential Singaporean breakfast experience, celebrating the rich heritage of Nanyang kopitiam culture that has been cherished for generations. As one of Singapore's most beloved café chains, Toast Box is dedicated to preserving the traditional art of preparing kaya toast, soft-boiled eggs, and authentic local coffee.

The story of kaya toast traces back to the Hainanese immigrants during the Straits Settlements period, who adapted their culinary skills while serving on British ships. When strawberry jam proved too expensive, these resourceful cooks created kaya – a rich, creamy spread made from coconut, pandan, and eggs. After World War II, the Hainanese established their own kopitiams, giving birth to Singapore's beloved breakfast culture.

At Toast Box, every slice of kaya toast is prepared with meticulous care using fluffy white bread, lightly toasted and generously filled with rich, creamy kaya spread. The traditional breakfast set is completed with perfectly soft-boiled eggs, seasoned with dark soy sauce and white pepper, creating the harmony of flavors that defines the Singaporean morning ritual.

The signature Nanyang coffee is crafted from an exclusive blend of Robusta beans, wok-roasted with caramel sugar, butter, and a hint of salt to achieve the distinctive dark, rich flavor. Brewed and pulled the traditional way using a cloth coffee sock, each cup delivers the authentic taste that has awakened Singaporeans for decades.

More than just a meal, Toast Box represents the social fabric of Singapore – a place where people gather to enjoy simple yet satisfying food while connecting with friends and family. Whether you're seeking a traditional breakfast, afternoon snack, or a taste of authentic local culture, Toast Box Tampines Mall offers a genuine kopitiam experience in the heart of modern Singapore.
