Dockyard Coffee traces back to 2013, when founder Riyan was inspired by Australian coffee culture and set out to learn everything from roasting and brewing to green bean grading from the ground up. He trained under roasters at Melbourne's Market Lane before returning to Singapore to open his own specialty operation, which began with pop ups and coffee events in 2015. Now based in Tampines, Dockyard is solely focused on supplying roasted beans, a deliberate choice that lets the team fine tune every recipe to match what drinkers actually want in their cup. The roastery sources farm direct coffees from origins including Rwanda, Peru, Ethiopia, and Bolivia, and offers customers the unusual option of building custom blends by choosing their own origin and roast profile.
