Opened in a quaint shophouse in 2012 d’Good Café was the first restaurant established by Mike Chin who was inspired to open a café after a prophetic visit to Seoul. The main aim of Chin was to design the café to have several areas where visitors could enjoy a distinct ambiance and pleasing atmosphere. The café consists of four settings and is distinctively known as The Bar, The Lawn, The Attic, and The Balcony. As a coffee shop, d’Good is totally determined to serve not just high-quality coffee, but also to track down each customer’s coffee preference and wants over theirs that even the customer themselves may not be aware of. This custom is known as the Fourth Wave of Coffee, and it is performed through three steps; first questioning the customer about their taste profile, then helping the customer to select a blend of beans, and finally blending, brewing, and even naming each customer’s unique coffee blend.
