As the old saying goes, “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”. For many of us (parents with young children especially), “a coffee a day keeps our sanity at bay”. As one of Singapore’s longest-standing homegrown gourmet cafe, O’Coffee Club provides a respite of artisanal brew and Italian-fusion indulgence for our souls. Its newest elevated experience is O’Coffee Club Indulgence, exclusively at Paragon along Orchard Road.
Taking a Break at O’Coffee Club Indulgence
Conveniently located in the heart of Singapore’s shopping district, O’Coffee Club Indulgence presents a luxe, yet affordable experience in a cosy corner of Paragon on Level 5.
Lush dark plum cushioned seats welcome comfortable family seating; children are also warmly welcomed to seat at the coffee bar stools to be entertained and educated on a variety of artisanal coffee brewing methods.

Live Artisanal Brewing at the Coffee Bar
We were first invited to select our preferred coffee brewing method and choice of beans at our table, and then ushered to the beautifully set marbled coffee bar-lab to be seated.
The staff then expertly demonstrated how O’Coffee Club’s handcrafted coffee can be brewed using traditional methods like the Syphon, Chemex.
The kids were intrigued as they watched the upper chamber bubbled and brewed away as our signature coffee beans were extracted into an aromatic cuppa. The brew felt smooth, sweet with a medium body, and lingering flowery finish – a great start to our personalised experience ahead.
While we had a nice coffee-break “pause”. Little Pea was offered her own babycino with delightful bobbing rainbow marshmallows on foam.
Flavourful Italian-fusion Dishes & Desserts
We were next served O’Coffee Club Glazed Pork Ribs ($32.90), available exclusively only at Paragon.
The portion was generous, and the succulent meat fell off the bone easily with an umami glazed coffee caramelisation (dried-rubbed with O’Coffee Club’s signature coffee beans), that was so “finger-licking” good.
Little Pea ate off our plates and munched into the crispy herb-marinated potatoes that oozed creaminess with each bite.
For seafood lovers, another exclusive must-try dish would be the Jumbo Tiger Prawns ($29.90) infused with Asian pesto and served with roasted butternut squash.
The Italian-fusion experience would not be complete with pasta.
Little Pea “knowingly” picked Mushroom Marinara Pasta from the Kid’s menu and gleed with so much delight when she was served. Little Pea slurped up the al dente ‘marina’ style pasta which had a hint of natural sweetness to its tomato flavour, and enjoyed chewing the soft shiitake mushrooms. Here, kids eat free with every adult’s order of mains or pasta. Families Pastas run up to $25+ and feature signature flavours like Chill Crab, Truffle cream and all-time kids’ favourites like Carbonara, Mac and cheese.
Brunch Menu Items
For families that love a sleep-in or a good brunch, O’Coffee Club Indulgence also serves up a variety of affordable hearty All-day Breakfast sets up to $20+.
The Belgian Waffle with Grilled Chicken & Sunny Egg ($18.90) was heartwarming and well-seasoned with Italian herbs, paired with a creamy white wine sauce that coated each succulent bite well. Little Pea couldn’t resist the buttery waffle.
A sweet finish to our meal was the signature two-tier chocolate-coffee Mud-pie ($15.90). The crunchy-icy mud pie refreshed our palate as the crunchy itsy bitsy chocolate bits left a sweet aftertaste.
Delightful Family-Friendly Dining Destination
The highlight for Little Pea was making a little trip out to Apiary X O’Coffee Club Ice-cream Parlour located at the atrium near the kiddie rides. Families have plenty of space to cosy up in the luscious cushioned seats, park their prams and watch their kids go on the kiddie rides, as they indulge in the sweets.
Little Pea was spoilt for choice by the variety of artisanal handcrafted ice-cream flavours such as Hazelnut, Hojicha premium, Cookies & Cream and Blue Milk (Condensed Milk). Little Pea indulged in her yummy cookie topping before tucking into her creamy Cookies & Cream ice-cream cup.
Specials at O’Coffee Club Indulgence
If you’re looking for a celebratory meal “Tis the Holiday season!” O’Coffee Club Indulgence offers a special Holiday 2-course set meal ($29.90+) with the choice of a Chicken Roulade or Beef Stew pot-pie, paired with a hearty chestnut bacon chowder. Otherwise, consider having a sneak out “couple-date” with High Tea for two at only $32.90+, while the kids nap.
Overall, we were satisfied with this indulgent family-friendly experience. Very belly-happy, Little Pea ran off to the Paragon playground nearby for her next adventure. We hope to be back again.
