Butter Bean Cheapest Items
Butter Bean cheapest items start at S$2.20 for a Kopi O or Teh O in one listing, and S$2.40 for the cheapest toast in the most repeated listings. This guide lists everything under S$4 from the Butter Bean menu, with the price disagreements between listings flagged honestly rather than smoothed over.
What is the cheapest item at Butter Bean?
The floor of the Butter Bean menu sits at about S$2.20 to S$2.40, and it depends on which listing you trust. One listing puts Kopi O, Teh O and Butter Sugar Toast at S$2.20 each, while the most repeated listings put Kopi O at S$2.40 and BButter Sugar Toast at S$2.40. The difference is twenty cents, but it is worth stating, because no current official price list exists to settle it.
| Cheapest item | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Kopi O | S$2.40 | S$2.20 in one listing, S$2.40 in the most repeated listings. |
| Teh O | S$2.40 | Same variance as Kopi O, hot regular size. |
| BButter Sugar Toast | S$2.40 | The cheapest food item, thick butter loaf toast with sugar. |
| BB’s Kaya Toast | S$2.60 | The signature kaya toast, only twenty cents above the floor. |
| Milky Milo Toast | S$2.60 | A sweet Milo toast at the same price as kaya. |
| Kopi | S$2.60 | Kopi with milk, hot regular size. |
| PB & J Toast | S$3.40 | Peanut butter and jam toast, still under S$4. |
| Say Cheese Toast | S$3.80 | The priciest item in this under-S$4 list, savoury cheese toast. |
What can you eat at Butter Bean for under five dollars?
Plenty, and it is a real breakfast, not a token bite. BB’s Kaya Toast at S$2.60 with a Kopi O at S$2.40 totals exactly S$5.00, and swapping in BButter Sugar Toast at S$2.40 brings it to S$4.80. At launch, a S$3 top-up turned any toast into a set with eggs and a drink, which would put a kaya toast set at S$5.60 on launch maths, though that top-up may have changed since.
Under three dollars to start
Five items sit under S$3: Kopi O, Teh O, BButter Sugar Toast, BB’s Kaya Toast and Milky Milo Toast, plus Kopi at S$2.60. That is the whole budget tier of the menu, and it is all breakfast food, which suits Butter Bean’s Nanyang cafe style. The Butter Bean value meals guide turns these same items into full set combinations.
My pick: BB’s Kaya Toast with a Kopi O. For S$5.00 you get the signature toast and a proper kopi, and you skip the twenty-cent saving on sugar toast, which is worth it for the kaya.
What is the cheapest drink at Butter Bean?
Kopi O and Teh O tie as the cheapest drinks, at S$2.20 to S$2.40 hot regular, with large and iced versions a little higher in listings that break sizes out. Kopi and Teh with milk sit at S$2.60, and the signature BBrûlée Kopi Latte is S$3.80, which is still cheap for a signature drink. Iced Americano is listed at S$2.80 to S$3.00 depending on the listing, so it is not the budget pick. The Butter Bean party packages guide uses these same drinks to price a group spread.
| Drink | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Kopi O (hot regular) | S$2.40 | Cheapest drink, black kopi. |
| Teh O (hot regular) | S$2.40 | Cheapest teh, no milk. |
| Kopi (hot regular) | S$2.60 | Kopi with milk. |
| Teh (hot regular) | S$2.60 | Teh with milk. |
| Iced Americano | S$3.00 | S$2.80 in one listing, S$3.00 in others. |
| BBrûlée Kopi Latte | S$3.80 | Signature drink, salted cream foam and torched sugar. |
One thing this list cannot do is go cheaper than toast. The cheapest main set is S$8.00 in the most repeated listings, so anyone hunting a full lunch under S$5 needs to stick to toast and kopi, which, to be fair, is exactly what this cafe is built for.
