Luckin Coffee 313 Somerset

Luckin Coffee sits on the basement level of 313@Somerset, bringing its app-based coffee system to Orchard Road. This Chinese coffee chain has built a solid reputation in Singapore by focusing on convenience, affordable prices, and decent quality coffee.

What Makes It Different

App-Based Ordering: Everything runs through their mobile app. You order, pay, and collect your drink without much interaction. It works well for busy shoppers who want to grab coffee quickly during their Somerset trip.

Good Coffee, Fair Price: The coffee quality surprised me. They use Arabica beans and the espresso actually tastes good – not watery or bitter like some budget coffee places. You get proper coffee at prices that don’t hurt your wallet.

Must-Try Items

Sea Salt Caramel Latte – This drink keeps people coming back. The salt and caramel combination works really well without being too sweet or artificial tasting.

Coconut Latte – Creamy coconut flavor that doesn’t overpower the coffee base.

Velvet Latte – Lives up to its name with a smooth, creamy texture.

Daifuku & Cheesecake – Their food selection is limited but what they have complements the coffee well. The daifuku is popular with customers.

The Good

• Great Value: Quality coffee without the premium price tag
• Fast Service: App ordering means no waiting in line
• Reliable Quality: Each visit delivers the same standard
• Convenient Location: Easy to grab while shopping at 313
• Interesting Flavors: Options you won’t find at typical coffee chains

The Not-So-Good

• Limited Space: The basement location feels cramped when busy
• Basic Atmosphere: Purely functional setup – not somewhere you’d want to hang out
• Small Food Menu: Don’t expect much beyond basic pastries and snacks

Final Thoughts
