If you’re a fan of Singapore’s iconic kopitiam culture, here’s something to get excited about this SG60! From 17 July to 18 August 2025, Marina Square will host Play Nation’s first-ever Kopi-Shop Pop-Up, a fun and nostalgic experience that pays tribute to Singapore’s beloved coffee-shop heritage.
Step into a Retro Kopitiam Experience
Recreating the charm of old-school coffee shops, the pop-up features mosaic-tiled flooring, colourful stools, and classic square tables. Visitors can even “order” their favourite breakfast items at a serving counter, where staff theatrically “pour” kopi and “make” toast—perfect for snapping Instagram-worthy photos.
Chan Yien Mei, General Manager of Marina Square, shared:
“The Kopi-Shop Pop-Up not only celebrates the nostalgia of our shared food culture, but also introduces a creative, contemporary format that will resonate with both the young and the young at heart.”
Play Nation’s Founder and Managing Director, Kai Jun Wong, added:
“We are reinventing the iconic kopitiam through a playful lens, creating a welcoming space for Singaporeans to join us in celebrating this unique element of our food culture and local heritage.”
Kopi & Toast Plush Collection – Breakfast Icons Turned Cuddly
