You know what no one ever says about e-commerce businesses? โThis build-out is bonkers.โ You just click, click, click and that is that; itโs steamlined and a little boring. But there is one e-tail site has made the jump into click-and-mortar, and their build-out is bonkers.
CafeBond.com is a Singapore-based e-tailer of specialty coffee from Australia, Japan, Taiwan, and Malaysia and they have just opened the ridiculously beautiful The Bean Shop in Singaporeโs Millenia Walk mall.
According to the press release, The Bean Shop will be โSingaporeโs first specialty coffee bean-only retail storeโ and will some of the best selling coffees from โAsiaโs largest specialty coffee e-tailer.โ Roasters include Seven Seeds Coffee, Market Lane, and Ona Coffee from Australia; Simple Kaffa from Taiwan; Fulgen Coffee from Japan; and VCR Coffee and Cloud Catcher from Malaysia, amongst others.
And all that coffee is great, but just look at this place! The pink neon, the wood pops, the showroom-esque feel. Itโs majestic. Iโd shop there but Iโm already kinda afraid I would break somethingโฆ and I donโt live in Singapore, but mostly the part about breaking things. The Bean Shop will also feature a โcurated selection of coffee brewing equipment and accessories.โ
Cafebond.com co-founder and CEO Keyis Ng had this to say:
The Bean Shop is open now from 11am to 8pm daily.
