Heritage kopitiam brand since 1919, famous for its kaya toast, soft-boiled eggs, and Hainanese coffee at Wisteria Mall.
Killiney Kopitiam is one of Singapore's oldest and most revered kopitiam brands, with a heritage stretching back to 1919 when it first opened on Killiney Road. The Wisteria Mall outlet in Yishun continues this century-old tradition, serving the iconic breakfast set that has become synonymous with Singapore's culinary identity — crispy, charcoal-grilled kaya toast, perfectly soft-boiled eggs with soy sauce and white pepper, and a steaming cup of strong, aromatic Hainanese coffee brewed the traditional way with a sock filter. It is a combination that has barely changed in over a hundred years, and for good reason. Beyond the signature breakfast, the menu includes local favourites like laksa, curry chicken, mee siam, and mee rebus, ensuring that Killiney is more than just a breakfast destination. Dine-in and takeaway are both available, and the efficient, no-frills service reflects the kopitiam ethos of quick, reliable, and affordable food. It appeals to traditionalists who insist on their kaya toast done the old-school way, as well as younger diners discovering the simple pleasures of a proper Singaporean breakfast. For a taste of Singapore's kopitiam heritage that has endured for over a century, Killiney Kopitiam at Wisteria Mall delivers the real thing. With its charcoal-grilled toast and sock-filtered coffee, it is a living piece of Singapore's culinary history.Operating Hours
