Reviews Summary
KOPI Stop is celebrated for its exceptional coffee, particularly its creative latte art and authentic Singaporean breakfast dishes like laksa and kaya toast.

"The food and coffee here is delicious! The latte art is incredible. Great barista. Great friendly service from staff. My favourite place in Darwin so far!"

"Good coffee and food and friendly efficient service
Only criticism is the food smelling atmosphere inside. Ventilation is insufficient, and I presume the workers / owners don't notice it, as they are working in it all/every day
To be honest, whilst the food and drink was good, I'd probably go somewhere else next time for better air quality"

"I was visiting family in Darwin a few weeks ago and they suggested we check out Kopi Stop:) So glad we did! The cafe has a all day Singaporean-style menu with laksa, Hainanese chicken, silky congee and more. My seafood laksa was rich in flavour and super moreish.
They also do some of the best coffee art I’ve seen! Check out their Instagram if you haven’t already. Casual vibes, great service, and clearly a local favourite. Darwin has some of the best food (and laksa!) in Australia, and it’s no surprise Kopi Stop won the People’s Choice in 2023. Definitely worth adding to your list when you’re in town."

Among the most controversial is a Basque burnt cheesecake at Kopi Stop. Its Singaporean creator Jules Mou has strong laksa credentials; her traditional bowl is an undeniable hit and this year, it won People's Choice, but she also wanted to plate up something unique.
