Quality products and services

Ortus by Grind Coffee formerly operated as a beloved specialty cafe at Aperia Mall, located at 12 Kallang Avenue #01-40 in Singapore's innovative mixed-use development between Lavender and Bendemeer MRT stations. This unique establishment captured the essence of vintage coffee culture through carefully curated decor featuring antique coffee grinders, restored record players, and classic typewriters from owner Frankie Lee's personal collection, creating a nostalgic atmosphere that transported visitors to coffee's golden era. The cafe operated Monday-Friday 8am-10pm and Saturday-Sunday 10am-6pm, serving Singapore's coffee enthusiasts and food lovers who appreciated the combination of specialty single-origin beans and quality dining in an authentically vintage setting.

The cafe distinguished itself through exclusive use of single-origin coffee beans, with particular emphasis on regional varieties like those sourced from Chiang Mai, Thailand, showcasing the complex flavors achievable through careful sourcing and expert preparation. Ortus by Grind Coffee's signature iced coffee (.50) and classic espresso-based beverages (from .50) demonstrated the cafe's commitment to coffee craftsmanship, while the comprehensive food menu featuring interesting, well-executed dishes proved that the establishment offered much more than typical coffee shop fare. Customer reviews consistently praised both the "pretty legit" food quality and the unique vintage ambiance that made dining visits feel like journeys through coffee history and culture.

Unfortunately, Ortus by Grind Coffee has permanently closed, representing the loss of a unique dining and coffee destination that contributed significantly to Aperia Mall's diverse culinary landscape. During its operation, the cafe served as a "great little gem" that combined serious coffee expertise with quality food preparation, creating memorable experiences for customers who discovered this hidden treasure within Aperia's retail environment. While the Grind Coffee brand continues operations elsewhere in Singapore, the closure of this specific location marks the end of a distinctive coffee culture experience that showcased how independent cafes can create community spaces that honor coffee traditions while serving contemporary Singapore's diverse dining preferences and lifestyle needs.
