Equate Night: Coffee spot launches after-dark alter ego with 1-for-1 cocktails & night menu
Good news, Equate Coffee fans: The popular cafe at Orchard Central is extending its operating hours with a brand new night-time concept — Equate Night.
The cafe is best known for its specialty coffee, hearty brunch fare, and sleek, eye-catching minimalist aesthetics.
Equate Coffee at Orchard Central initially catered to day-time shoppers and cafe-hoppers before shuttering for the day at 8.30pm.
Now, Equate Night will be open to the night owls of Orchard.
It will also be introducing a myriad of cocktails and contemporary Asian delicacies for the after-hours crowd.
Besides the dinner menu, which starts from 6pm, select sides and all-day items will also be available.
As the sun sets, the typically bright and spacious cafe will also take on a darker aesthetic. With an immersive art display and house music driving the mood for the night, diners can sit back and enjoy the chill vibes.
To celebrate its opening, the eatery will be running a happy hour promo where customers can enjoy one-for-one cocktails off Equate Night’s menu from 6pm to 8pm, with the lower-priced cocktail made free.
This includes a diverse array of tipples, ranging from the complex Natsu Heat (whiskey and peach-infused sencha, S$18.80) to the crisp and refreshing South Creek (gin, ruby grapefruit and soda, S$14.80).
Those less keen on getting tipsy can also dive into a curation of mocktails such as the minty Snow Patrol (soda water, fresh lime juice, mint syrup, and mint leaf, S$7.80) and tea-flavoured Elementary (earl grey cold brew, lime juice and sugar syrup, S$6.80).
Other than the cocktail programme, Equate Night will also feature a slew of Asian-inspired dishes for its dinner menu, where familiar flavours are given unexpected twists.
Diners can expect unconventional reimaginations of iconic dishes. Think: Fried juk (smoky fried porridge in a deep fried crust, S$12.80) and chap chye okonomiyaki (Japanese griddle pancake with local braised mixed vegetables, S$12.80).
Pasta lovers will also want to dig into the new cold laksa capellini (S$19.80) that’s enriched with rich laksa spice and coconut milk.
There will also be some satisfying bites such as bawang goreng fries (shoestring fries, brown gravy, cheddar, spring onion, sour cream and crispy fried shallots, S$11.80) in case you need some nibbles to pair with your drinks.
Equate Coffee is on the GrabFood delivery service and offers free delivery (up to S$3 off) with GrabUnlimited.
