Our Story

At Towkay Kia, we believe everyone should be able to enjoy quality Kopi and Teh wherever they are, however they wish.

One problem we often hear of in today's ready-to-drink market is the lack of rich Kopi and Teh alternatives that one typically finds in coffeeshops. The C&L Cafe blend is tried and tested over many years and we aim to bring to you the same great taste in a range of formats to suit your drinking habits.

We currently offer our proprietary blend of Kopi-O-Kosong (black coffee without sugar) and are working on the best format to deliver our blend of Teh-O-Kosong. We welcome any feedback and suggestions so feel free to reach out and we will be in touch asap.

C&L Cafe

C&L Cafe is a coffeeshop in Ubi started by our parents in 2011. Their experience in the industry dates further back - to 1990 - where they first operated out of canteens in construction sites.

Over the years, our father continually sought ways to improve the quality of his drinks, adjusting both the blend and his brewing techniques. His emphasis on quality is reflected in details like his insistence on grinding the coffee in-house, brewing each pot of coffee and tea fresh, specific brewing techniques used to "pull" the coffee and tea, to name a few.

The Coffee Construct

With experience working at C&L Cafe, JX (eldest son, right) started The Coffee Construct in 2019 with Jack (left) to expand the business through smaller food shops. The pair first met as fellow RSAF officer cadets and are now working together again to take the beverages to new heights.

We hope to be able to serve more people good Kopi and Teh in the future and are always looking for good opportunities to do so. We are also open to grooming like-minded individuals who are keen to enter the F&B industry and help us propagate our love for local drinks, so feel free to reach out!

We believe the loyal base of customers of both C&L Cafe and The Coffee Construct is testament to both the blend that we use and the brewing techniques we employ. With many requests from customers for our coffee and tea blend, we started Towkay Kia to expand on those offerings - so more of us can enjoy them wherever they are, however they want.
