From the moment it touches your lips, you’ll have a half life, a cursed life...sure we might be talking about unicorn blood, but we could just as easily be talking about that other dark elixir that’s taken hold of our lives, coffee. Sometimes it can be your best friend (no one knows this better than an editorial room on a deadline) and at other times it can literally be the source of a waking nightmare. But no matter which way your day swings, you can’t help coming back for more.

With International Coffee Day falling on the 1st of October, it’s time to offer yourselves up as a sacrifice to your caffeine overlords and there’s no better place to do that than at Koinonia Coffee Roasters. Koinonia is well known for their locally sourced beans and innovative blends and this for this weekend only, they’re brewing up something truly extraordinary to celebrate the beverage that runs the world.

Their extended menu that includes a truly sinful dark chocolate truffle coffee, Cold Fashioned (a cold brew that mimics Old Fashioned cocktail), limited-edition Amrut cask aged coffee, Keto coffee By Energy Coach Urmi, protein Granola by Eat-A-Whey, and an affogato bar which is every ice-cream lover’s dream.

This menu will be available for this weekend only at their outlet in Chuim Village, Khar and a special pop-up at Kelvin Cheung’s, Bastian for Sunday Brunch on October 1st. So if you start every day with a cuppa joe, take this weekend to celebrate this damn-near magical bean in the style it truly deserves.
