About this episode
In this episode, we chat with Thong, the owner of Narrative Coffee Stand. Thong's love affair with coffee began during his student days in Melbourne, where he became a regular at the campus coffee stand.
Narrative Coffee Stand, nestled in the historic Bras Basah Complex, is a unique specialty coffee spot amidst traditional music shops, tuition centers, and printing shops. Over its five-year journey, Thong has navigated several major transitions with resilience and creativity to keep the business thriving.
Thong shares a delightful story about his first coffee-making attempt, which involved learning from TH-cam tutorials with friends in a pastry shop. He takes us through his journey from those early days to now, where he artfully curates a monthly menu to delight his customers with different tastes and preferences.
This light-hearted episode offers a glimpse into Thong's vibrant daily life as a coffee shop owner.
Join us for an engaging conversation filled with passion, humor, and a love for coffee.
