A '''''kopitiam''''' or '''''kopi tiam''''' ({{zh|c=咖啡店|l=coffee shop|poj=ko-pi-tiàm}}) is a type of [[Coffeehouse|coffee shop]] mostly found in parts of [[Indonesia]], [[Malaysia]], [[Singapore]], [[Brunei]] and [[Southern Thailand]] patronised for meals and [[Drink|beverages]], and traditionally operated by the [[Overseas Chinese|Chinese]] community of these countries. The word ''[[kopi (drink)|kopi]]'' is an Indonesian and Malay term for ''coffee'' and ''tiam'' is the [[Min Nan|Hokkien]]/[[Hakka Chinese|Hakka]] term for ''shop'' ({{lang|zh|{{linktext|店}}}}). Traditional kopitiam menus typically feature simple offerings: a variety of foods based on [[egg (food)|egg]], [[Toast (food)|toast]], [[kaya (jam)|kaya]], plus coffee, tea, [[Horlicks]] and [[Milo (drink)|Milo]]. Modern kopitiams typically feature multiple food stalls that offer a wider range of foods. |

Kopitiams in Singapore are commonly found in almost all residential areas as well as some industrial and business districts in the country, numbering about 2,000 in total.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.straitstimes.com/Prime%2BNews/Story/STIStory_222798.html|title=The Straits Times Interactive<!-- Bot generated title -->|website=straitstimes.com}}</ref> Although most are an aggregate of small stalls or shops, some may be more reminiscent of [[food court]]s, although each stall has a similar appearance and the same style of signage.

In Singapore, the coffee in kopitiams is made from Robusta beans. [[Kopi (drink)|Kopi]] (coffee) was introduced to the island in the mid-19th century.
