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. Robusta beans, brought in from Indonesia via Arab traders, were preferred by the majority of the local population, compared to the more expensive Arabica beans favoured by the European population working in Singapore.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://theculturetrip.com/asia/singapore/articles/what-makes-singapores-coffee-culture-so-unique | title=What Makes Singapore's Coffee Culture So Unique? | date=21 February 2018 }}</ref>

Most kopitiams in Singapore consist of the drinks stall and food stalls leased by independent stallholders who mainly focus on a variety of food dishes that are commonly found in [[Singaporean cuisine]].
