Singaporeans all love drinking a good cup of coffee, whether in cafes, coffee shops or at home.
Not only does the caffeine energise us for the day, but there’s something incredibly soothing about an aromatic brew.
While coffee is a flavourful and energising way to wake up, our humble cup of java is also jam-packed with valuable health benefits.
So read on because you’re in luck, whether you like it black, with milk, hot or iced.
Coffee Boosts Your Energy Levels
A bad day with coffee is better than a good day without it because caffeine acts as a stimulant for the nervous system, which can boost energy levels and fight fatigue.
When taken moderately, caffeine can release adrenaline, a hormone in the brain responsible for energy release.
You’ll also feel more energised and less tired.
Studies have even shown that this refresher allows volleyballers to hit harder, rowers to go farther, and cyclists to ride faster!
Not only that, your cappuccino also gives us the sunshine we need because the caffeine boosts dopamine which in turn makes us happier!

Coffee Support Brain Health
Coffee isn’t just helpful for finding car keys, and remembering what day of the week it is, it also helps protect us from neurodegenerative disorders, like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.
Compared with non-drinkers, people who drank 3-5 cups daily were 65% less likely to develop dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, according to studies.
Enhances Overall Body Health
Other studies also say coffee helps to improve blood vessels’ control over blood flow and blood pressure, leading to improved heart health.
Not only that, it alters fat storage and promotes gut health, both of which may contribute to weight loss.
Besides, coffee consumption over the long term might result in a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes because of its ability to preserve the function of our pancreas’ beta cells, which produce insulin to regulate blood sugar levels.
Forget laughter. Because your next latte might be the best medicine.
Improve Mood
A coffee a day keeps the grumpy away.
There is comfort in knowing that as we stumble out of bed each morning our first cup is rooting for us, to provide us the energy to power through the day.
But it doesn’t end there because studies show we can be happier too as it blocks the brain from feeling tired, and heightens brain excitability too.
Several studies have found that regularly drinking coffee reduces depression risk by 8% too.
So yes, let’s believe that today’s good mood is sponsored by coffee!
Looking For An Alternative Energy Booster?
While coffee is the go-to energy booster for many, others may prefer something else.
That’s why cafes like La Levain have plenty of alternatives to provide the energy you need to start your day right!
Starting with the classic Matcha Latte – the perfect drink to replace the espresso in a traditional cafe latte, giving it a lightly bitter yet refreshing taste.
Beyond that, matcha packs in a concentrated amount of antioxidants and beneficial plant compounds like your regular latte.
Or, we also serve the Earl Grey Latte if you prefer something else, with savory hints of floral black tea swirled through it.
Bursting with flavour, it also has caffeine to perk you and keep you going all day.
Many coffee shops also offer a variety of teas, ranging from hot brewed ones to iced versions all from brands like Gryphon Tea Company.
And fret not if you need a non-caffeinated alternative, as most serve hot and iced chocolate too.
Popular among kids, these drinks also are well loved by adults as well.
Now that’s happiness you can buy!
