We answer the questions guests ask most often at the bar — from tasting flight structure to laptop etiquette in our Tiong Bahru café.

How do brew programmes work at Roast Swift Pro?

Order at the bar — espresso flights, filter clarity sessions, seasonal cup rotations and group cupping tables are poured fresh with cupping notes at each step. Solo guests can walk in during standard hours; group cupping tables are booked via our contact form. Neighbourhood regulars in Tiong Bahru often visit weekly for the seasonal rotation, while first-time guests might start with a three-pour espresso flight to compare roast profile across origin lots. Every brew programme is a hospitality offering at the swift counter, described by the bar team before the first sip.

How long does a typical visit take?

A single single-origin espresso or filter brew might take fifteen minutes at the counter — swift service with ceramic cups and brief tasting notes. A tasting flight or filter clarity session typically runs thirty to forty-five minutes as the bar walks you through each pour. Group cupping tables are scheduled for sixty to ninety minutes depending on group size and the number of origin lots on the table.

Can I work from the bar with a laptop?

Yes, during off-peak hours — we welcome remote workers seeking a calm Singapore coffeehouse. Bar seating along the counter and small tables are available on a first-come basis. We ask guests to keep audio calls brief and respect the quiet pace of the Yong Siak corridor. Peak weekend mornings are better suited to tasting flights than extended laptop sessions.

Do you provide allergen information for the light food menu?

Allergen notes for pastries and light bites are available at the counter — ask the bar team before ordering. We describe common allergens such as gluten, dairy, nuts and eggs where applicable. This is general menu information, not medical advice; guests with severe allergies should speak directly with the bar on arrival.

How do I book a group cupping table?

Send a group cupping request through our contact form with your preferred date, group size and contact details. We confirm availability within one business day and schedule sessions during off-peak bar hours, Tue–Sun. Groups of four to eight are typical; larger parties may be split across two sessions.

What are your opening hours and timezone?

We open Tue–Sun, 08:00–18:00 Singapore Time (SGT, Asia/Singapore, UTC+8). Closed Mon. All posted hours on this site follow SGT — the city-state timezone used across our Singapore specialty bar operations.

How does the seasonal menu rotate?

Our seasonal rotation shifts as new origin lots arrive — typically every four to six weeks. The featured single-origin is posted at the counter with roast profile and cupping notes for both espresso bar and filter brew service. Neighbourhood regulars often ask which lot is current; the bar team is happy to describe flavour before pouring.

How is my personal data handled when I use the contact form?

We process name, email and message content solely to respond to your enquiry, under the Singapore Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA). Data is retained only as long as needed to complete the conversation and is not sold to third parties. Full details are in our Privacy Policy; data matters can be directed to [email protected].
