Star Corner Cafe in Compassvale is the kind of coffee shop that quietly anchors the neighborhood’s mornings and early evenings. Tucked by the NTUC Fairprice, it’s easy to walk past without really noticing, especially with a larger kopitiam and hawker center just around the corner. But for anyone who prefers a straightforward, no-frills local coffee spot with affordable breakfast options, this cafe serves that purpose well.

The vibe here is casual and unpretentious, with some alfresco seating that catches the breezy, open-air feel of the area — a refreshing change from air-conditioned malls nearby. Locals often drop by for a simple start to the day, ordering traditional hawker fares like kaya toast, chee cheong fun, dim sum, and bee hoon. Portions tend to be generous for the price, and the offerings include classic local tastes you’d expect: flavorful bee hoon served with luncheon meat, freshly steamed siew mai, and the comforting hum of kopi and tea throughout the morning.

Star Corner Cafe’s coffee is straightforward but well made — the “kopi c kosong” (black coffee without sugar) gets nods from regulars who appreciate strong, aromatic brews without the fuss. The affordable prices mean it’s a daily stop for people who want something familiar without the premium prices or crowding of branded cafes like the nearby Starbucks, which tends to sit quieter by comparison.

Evenings bring a mellow shift in mood, as some patrons linger with a Tiger Beer in hand, making the corner feel like a local watering hole where friends wind down after work. The open-air seating and cooling breeze help keep things comfortable as the sun sets.

Overall, Star Corner Cafe suits anyone looking for a modest, practical spot to grab breakfast or a casual coffee in a distinctly local environment. It’s not about style or hype here: it’s about having reliable, affordable local foods and drinks in a setting that’s unpretentious but welcoming.

Simple breakfast food, example there’s Bao, Kueh, Vermicelli, Nasi Lemak, Bread Toast, evening there should be beers, in the morning just coffee, tea the usuals. I cant belief when this coffee shop open, the starbucks next door looked empty. Prices does matter, if you would like to have simple breakfast and coffee without breaking your bank, come here. If you want to feel atas with ang mo coffees, come here first to eat small snacks then go into starbucks .

Good local alfresco coffeeshop for you to take a rest from the ntuc grocery coffee. Very local feel. Serves lots of breakfast choices from kueh, dim sum, bee hoon, eggs and kaya toast. Kopi C korsong very good.

We decided to have our Sunday morning kopi at Star Corner Cafe at Buangkok. Star Corner Cafe is a small coffee shop that’s located near the NTUC Fairprice. Due to its location, we think most people could miss it easily as there’s a Kopitiam nearby, and another hawker centre in Sengkang Grand Mall that is directly across the road. We ordered quite a few things here: * Kaya butter toast set with Milo Gao Kosong * 2x Teh Gao Siu Dai * Fried beehoon with sunny side-up and Taukwa * 1x Chicken bun and 1x Char Siew bun * 1x Siew Mai and 1x Har Gao We think what’s really outstanding here is the kaya butter toast set - it’s thick, well toasted with the right crisp and the kaya spread was adequate (not too much, not too little) and not too sweet. The hot teh Gao siu dai was solid as well; in fact one of the better tasting hot beverages in the area. Interestingly, the milo gao kosong was thick but a little sweet (?) despite it being “kosong”. Fried beehoon was surprisingly good! It tasted exactly like how we like it - savoury without the taste of the veggies overpowering it. But we found that it was a bit cold - would be much better if it was served hot! Steamed buns were quite average. The dim sum was slightly above average compared to those that you see at Koufu or Kopitiam, but definitely cannot beat the homemade dim sum that you can find in those dim sum specialty restaurants. Will we drop by again? Definitely!

Hidden Breakfast Gem Opposite NTUC. Tucked away in a cozy outdoor corner, this unassuming breakfast spot offers a great variety of local delights at wallet-friendly prices. The white bee hoon was packed with flavor and came with a generous slice of luncheon meat, all for just $3—a steal for such a satisfying meal. Pairing it with a smooth and aromatic Kopi O at $1.20 made for a perfect start to the day. What stood out beyond the food was the friendly stallholder, who warmly shared that customers can conveniently order both food and drinks in a single queue—saving time and hassle. With its relaxed atmosphere and welcoming service, this spot is definitely worth a visit for a fuss-free, delicious breakfast.

Beautiful set up, went on the first day, Boss & staffs are super friendly! Area was windy and cooling to have a meal there! Dim Sum & toast set was also very sumptuous and affordable! Nice place to enjoy a cup of coffee in the day or booze at night :)

My favourite place these days to get some kopi C or Teh C! Really hard to find places that serve consistently good drinks these days and I find myself coming here again and again
