The complete guide to finding authentic civet coffee in Singapore — online sellers, prices in SGD & USD, and why proximity to Indonesia matters
Despite Singapore's proximity to Indonesia — the birthplace of kopi luwak — surprisingly few places in the city-state sell it. The cafes that once offered it have closed, but a couple of online options serve the Singaporean market.
JJ Royal Coffee has a dedicated Singapore online store (jjroyalcoffee.sg) offering Indonesian specialty coffee, including their 100% Pure Luwak range — both Arabica and Robusta varieties.
Singapore's major e-commerce platforms occasionally list kopi luwak from various sellers, including Indonesian exporters. Availability and quality vary significantly.
The coffee stand at Maxwell Food Centre that once famously sold kopi luwak has long since closed. There are currently no cafes or restaurants in Singapore serving kopi luwak.
Singapore is just a short hop from Indonesia — the birthplace of kopi luwak. Pure Kopi Luwak ships authentic, wild-sourced Arabica beans from Java, Indonesia straight to your door in Singapore, with some of the fastest delivery times of any international destination.
