Mondays, amirite? (Whoever invented the workweek should be drawn and quartered.) In this modern times, we not only have to wake up at dawn's crack, we still need to head to the gym, walk the dog, commute... or, for the working parents out there—get the kids ready for school. All these and more, before we even clock in for work.
So, we turn to our favourite legalised drug: the humble coffee. But is caffeine enough for the day- hell, for the rest of the workweek? Get acquainted with "functional coffee"; this is coffee with supplements. From adaptogenic mushrooms to MCT (Medium-Chain Triglyceride) oil, these upgrades to your morning brew, might boost cognition, and power up immune health. This is where Guerilla Coffee, comes in.
Founded in 2021, Guerilla Coffee has taken residency at organic grocer, Supernature by COMO Shambhala. Bringing its coffee know-how and barista-grade Sanremo machinery, Guerilla Coffee uses Eisbär Barista Milk and MILBOK Double Milk (the milk are creamier, sweeter, and higher in protein) for its menu of coffee staples, and four functional coffees that are exclusive to Supernature. You have the Dark Chocolate Mushroom Mocha, that's built on adaptogenic mushrooms to support cognitive function. There's Dirty Coffee—a Guerilla signature—that pours hot espresso straight onto cold milk, and served chill.
The iced Slow Glow Latte is spiked with MCT oil (again, for improved cognition), grass-fed butter, and cinnamon, and then there's Sun Salutation Latte to round off the special menu; it is a mix of turmeric, nutmeg, pepper, white clover honey, ginger, and served hot. As to how soon does the cognitive benefits kick in after you imbibe your functional coffee? We were told that it kicks in 10-15 minutes.
Located at Dempsey, the coffee run might be a tad out of the way for those sequestered in a cubicle at the CBD. But, never underestimate the power of Grab delivery. And besides, you could use some time away from the desk, and pick it up your damn self.
Open daily, from 7am to 5pm, Guerilla Coffee at Supernature is located at 26 Dempsey Rd, #01-01, Singapore 249686
