Upon the opening of Forty Hands café in Tiong Bahru, Harry Grover effectively lead the third wave coffee movement in the region, with his contribution to the specialty industry and cafe scene magnified as he now oversees the growth of CMCR internationally with the opening of a café in KL.
Five Senses Coffee Australia bring 16 years of specialty coffee experience to the partnership by supplying CMCR with responsibly sourced, specialty grade, green beans along with invaluable IP for use in the roasting and wholesale arm of the business.
Spa Esprit Group (SEG) is behind a number of successful and creative beauty, lifestyle and F&B concepts including STRIP waxing, Browhaus, Tiong Bahru Bakery, Open Farm Community and many more. The group’s emphasis on quality, value and innovation contribute to the success of CMCR.
This convergence of knowledge, resources, skills, experience and passion has culminated in a thriving café, academy, roastery and wholesale business.
The Café:
CMCR Café, located at 22 Martin Road Singapore offers an all day brunch style menu 7 days a week. The café has been awarded the Readers Choice Best Café by SG Magazine back to back in 2014 and 2015 and won the Restaurant Association of Singapore’s Best Café in 2016.
Our creative and wholesome food menu is served alongside our extensive coffee selection, ranging from CMCR’s signature 22 Martin Blend, prepared on our custom designed Synesso espresso machine, to a single origin bean such as YirgZero from Ethiopia, expertly prepared on our dedicated brew bar.
