The coffee is superb!!! The space is beautiful, the machines, cups and everything is deliberately labelled. I always feel that design and aesthetics says alot about the owner's vision. And Equate is so so so beautiful. My photos will do the description.

Champion Bolo Bun is a 3-storey cha chaan teng (cafe) located along Tanjong Pagar Road. Bolo Bun is a popular Hong Kong sweet bun, with its golden cookie crust resembling a pineapple. The interior of the cafe has a clean and minimalist design with MUJI-like vibes.

As their name suggests, Bolo Buns are their specialty, and they come in various versions: Classic, Classic with Butter, Curry Potato, and Mini. Their signature drinks include the Champion’s Coffee, Champion’s Milk Tea, and Champion’s Lemon Tea.

What their customers say:

Yummy, their bolo bun is really champion, though their crust is the hard type of crispiness but maybe that’s what’s make them unique. I mean just by selling Bolo bun and make a business out of it must be really tasty. The HK milk tea is also Eunice, full of flavour and not so sweet. Good location to chill out with friends.

Jeffrey

It’s located at a very convenient place. Nice environment and minimalism interior design. Polo Bun is nice and crispy, butter inside melts nicely, bun is as soft as cloud. This cafe is definitely a “will come back for” type.

Perfect office away from home. Good coffee too. I love working from here. No one looking at you, giving you “you’ve been here a long time” vibes. Plus they have a dedicated work counter with great stool chairs and power points. Internet speed is good.

One of the best cakes I have tasted in Singapore. The level of skill used to create some of their cakes can literally be tasted the moment you eat it. Very clever mix of flavours that you seldom taste at other bakeries. Highly recommended

Darren Tan

Amazing pastry with clear description of what you having. Feels like dessert from a 3 star Michelin restaurant. Will I return? Definitely! They have pairing drinks suggestion to go with the pastry such as wine or tea.
